"Technical support has a very fast response time and they are helpful."
"The Cloudflare Web Application Firewall's most valuable feature is its ease of configuration."
"The most valuable aspect is the ability to customize the types of load-balancing scenarios needed for customized applications. Some of the load balancers on the market today are strictly out-of-hand load balancers for SSL or HTTP. Radware Alteon is most useful for customizing in-house applications based on ports and protocols."
"The most valuable feature is the load-balancing reverse proxy."
"his solution allows me to secure applications, by blocking suspicious traffic based on the signature that has been enabled for that particular application."
"The integrated application protection provided by Alteon is very good. It really helps to avoid false positives in some cases. It provides important granularity to avoid a situation in which security or cybersecurity scenarios escape us."
"With Alteon, the load-balancing options are practically unlimited. We haven't had any issues with offloading, decryption, putting in cookies, or any other load-balancing features. We can check URLs, etc., on the back end for load balancing instead of running a TCP check. We're also doing some certificate stuff on there. Alteon covers all of the standard load-balancing techniques, and we employ most of them daily."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of Radware Alteon are the reverse proxy functionality and the SSL offload and hardware."
"Radware has been characterized by being extremely robust. This gives us the confidence to offer our users a continuous service."
"The blocked logs are difficult to read at times."

"A key challenge arises when dealing with numerous integrations with HVAC systems. Depending on the specifics, there might be some configuration mismatches, which necessitate specific support."
"Its stability could be better."
"I have experienced some difficulties with Cloudflare's support as a customer based in India."
"The notification part could be improved. It's very much connected to Web Application Firewall, rate-limiting, and DDoS protection."
"I would like to see the loading documentation improved."
"Performance could be improved."
"Their support can be better. The Radware management is very proactive. We can connect to anybody in Radware Management in India. We can even connect with the MD of Radware India. However, their lower level staff should be more proactive towards the customers."
"The solution could be more robust."
"I would like the solution to display and help visualize the reference map more easily. I would also like to better understand where queries come from and know which users are consulting the application, along with which app."
"Support is very important because if we get good support, we'll be able to sell and supply more numbers."
"Load balancing needs improvement. It needs better integration. I heard f5 works as a DNS operator which is not available in this solution. It would be better if that was implemented."
"The reverse proxy piece is a little bit complicated. If the reverse proxy were easier to implement, that would help."
