Easy management and configuration, affordable, and has good features
We use all the features. It is very useful. Using WAF, we can control the WAF rules based on our application requirements. We can control what rules should be used and what should be disabled. The role of the tool is limited to HTTP traffic. It does exactly what it must do. It's a regional service. We know how to use it for DR scenarios. WAF has been the most valuable in protecting applications. We use at least three instances in the back end to give the best performance for our applications. The management and configuration of the solution is quite easy. All certificate renewals are automatically taken care of by Key Vault.

Effectively prevents security risks and hacking attempts on websites, providing robust protection
I'm currently using it to prevent security risk attacks and hacking on my websites. We use the solution to protect our main website, which has two parts: a Web Application Firewall and a service to remove infection. We also use the part that sends us information about new risk updates to our site…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The security feature in all the layers of the application is the most valuable."
"The solution's integration is very good."
"WAF feature replicates the firewall."
"The health probe is pretty good for your backend health. It tells you whether it's communicating and talking to the endpoint correctly. It is quite useful."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is traffic management."
"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 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 most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is its ease of use."
"Domain name scanning since it allows us to scan all our domain names and determine whether it has malware or if is reported as phishing."
"I use it as a WAF, which is basically a web firewall to monitor and block traffic to our web server."
"It significantly eases the workload and streamlines the initial setup required to protect a website."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"The most valuable part is the analytics and visualization."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Straight forward because the plugin can simply be installed and then it does its job. It's not complex, there is no learning curve. The online scan is simple, you put in the website address and the scan gives us a report on the browser itself. It's simple to use."
 

Cons

"The tool is a pain to deal with when it comes to the area of configuration."
"The working speed of the solution needs improvement."
"In the next release, the solution could improve the integration with Service Mesh and other Azure Security Services."
"The graphical interface needs improvement because it is not user friendly."
"The support provided for the solution has certain shortcomings that need improvement, especially when it comes to the response time from the support team."
"The configuration is very specific right now and needs to be much more flexible."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved. Right now, it's a bit expensive."
"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 main improvement I would like to see is support for .NET applications. If they could include this feature, I would include more sites in the protection."
"In terms of improvement, the cost factor is always there."
"It would greatly benefit customers if they implemented an online chat or messaging system for quicker assistance."
"Sucuri could provide help for specific security alerts in-line instead of requiring users to search for it in the help section."
"I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. The reason is that we have found sometimes customers or Google saying that there is something wrong with the website but Sucuri says that the site is clean so we do have to look at the site manually which means that the Sucuri scan does not pick up anything and everything."
"Confident score: Currently it does not have one and there are cases that most websites flagged are false-positives."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing model is pay-as-you-go."
"We use the tool's basic subscription. Its licensing costs are monthly."
"The pricing is based on how much you use the solution."
"Regarding pricing for Azure Application Gateway, I would rate it at seven."
"I rate the pricing seven out of ten because some third-party solutions are even costlier than this."
"Every solution comes with a license and cost. Microsoft provides the license and the total cost is for the maintenance every year."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is expensive."
"The product is not expensive."
"I’d simply say it’s really worth it."
"It stands out as a more cost-effective option compared to other cloud-based security services like Cloudflare or JetPass."
"The ROI has been very good. Because of the solution, I have a tax break. The site developers were not always experienced people. We used to pay more for cleaning up the site when it was infected. Now, we have peace of mind knowing that the solution will clean up the site and that we won't have to go through the unnecessary process of restoring it from a backup. The protection on the WAF and the measures for backups have also prevented our site from going down."
"Sucuri offers different plans, both the standard plan and an advanced plan. So there are different plans to choose from."
