Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Using policies to link and manage these URL-based routing configurations is also valuable.""We use the product in front-end and back-end applications to do the load balancing smartly.""The security feature in all the layers of the application is the most valuable.""The tool helps manage microservices by providing developers with a platform to conduct tests and assessments on the web application. The custom domain option is one of the most valuable features I've found. This feature is incredibly helpful for the end-users of the web application. With the custom domain feature, you can change the lengthy link to a shorter, more memorable one. For example, instead of using a lengthy default link, you can customize it to something like imail.com, which is much easier to remember and share.""The solution's integration is very good.""Application Gateway automatically redirects unwanted users and takes care of the security aspect. It also handles the performance side of things, which is why we use it.""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.""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."

Cons
"The pricing of the solution could be improved. Right now, it's a bit expensive.""For the first-time user, it is difficult to understand so the user-interface needs to be improved.""Scalability can be an issue.""The solution should provide more security for certificate-based services so that we can implement more security on that.""The working speed of the solution needs improvement.""The configuration is very specific right now and needs to be much more flexible.""The pricing of the solution is a bit high. The solution should offer different pricing systems.""The increased security that we are considering is because of some of the things that the security team has brought to our attention. They have pointed out that we would most likely require a better web application firewall than Azure Application Gateway."

"The solution needs an access management feature with API integration so we can assign certain levels of access within groups.""We should get the logs from the solution, and it should communicate with the local DNS.""We have a lot of unknown errors popping up in the latest version."
