We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure Application Gateway and Radware Alteon based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The simplicity of the solution and its ability to integrate easily with others are its most valuable aspects."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"The solution was very easy to configure. It wasn't hard at all to adjust it to our needs."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway are the policies, the data store they are using, and the cloud platform it operates on."
"The solution has built-in rules that reduce alerts and are easy to configure."
"I find Application Gateway’s WAF module valuable because it helps prevent layer 7 attacks."
"It has a filter available, although we are not currently using it because it is not part of our requirements. But it is a good option and when it becomes part of our requirements we will definitely use it."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is traffic management."
"his solution allows me to secure applications, by blocking suspicious traffic based on the signature that has been enabled for that particular application."
"I am finding SSL-TLS acceleration the most valuable function, with certificate management. It is easy to generate certificates and assign them to services"
"The GUI was a valuable feature. It was uncomplicated and easy to use."
"I like the ADC feature and the global certificate feature."
"The best features are the security through the web application firewall, the functionality that the solution offers, being a load balancer with the security functionality on top of it, and the ease of administration."
"The device blocks threats and allows legitimate users to work correctly."
"The strength of this solution is the application delivery controller."
"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."
"Needs easier integration with the existing SIAM."
"It takes a lot of time for a certificate to update in the system. That is a huge drawback, affecting the load-balancing side. And when there are changes to the load balancing, it affects the end-user."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"One of the challenges we faced was the solution does not support any other PCP protocols apart from HTTP and HTTPS."
"For the first-time user, it is difficult to understand so the user-interface needs to be improved."
"It could be easier to change servicing."
"I want the solution's support to improve. The tool is also expensive."
"It could be more stable, and support could be better. It would also be better if they offered more features. For example, it lacks security features. Before we used another English solution, and we realized that some of the rules were not set up correctly and passed through the Application Gateway's English controllers. But the problem, in this case, is if you send ten rules, for example, six rules hit some issues. IP address blocking could be better. The rules, for example, don't work properly. If you have one issue, one rule or another rule will not work. This sounds like total madness to me."
"Support is an area that needs improvement."
"Scalability should be based on customer requirements."
"I would like this solution to have an integration tool that will convert configuration from other software, into readable values for this product during implementation."
"I would like for the load balancing to work with premier and the cloud, a mix of premium and cloud."
"Recently our team was talking about the things you can customize in Alteon and the level of programming that doing so demands. I would like to see more information on how to customize the programming and troubleshoot."
"We are in the process of updating our version of the solution, so judging what should be improved is difficult. But in some cases, the visualization takes a while, especially for mapping issues."
"We recently had a problem with the tables Obsolete ARP which was observed by the support team. It would be good to diagnose and solve this problem with a patch since it is not documented that it will be solved in later updates."
"Radware Alteon could improve the troubleshooting from the command line interface, they could do a better job making it easier."
