Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."
"I like the tool's stability and performance."
"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."
"I find Application Gateway’s WAF module valuable because it helps prevent layer 7 attacks."
"The production is a valuable feature."
"Load balancing and web application firewall features are the most valuable."
"We find it valuable because it is compatible with our existing Azure solution."
"Azure Application Gateway's most valuable feature is ease of use. The configuration is straightforward. It isn't difficult to adjust the size of your instances in the settings. You can do that with a few clicks, and the configuration file is the same way. You can also set rules and policies with minimal time and effort."
"The solution provides great automation and it is easy to upgrade service."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else."
"The solution has many limitations. You cannot upgrade the VPN to the application gateway. So I started with version one, which has limited capabilities, and they provided version two. And unfortunately, I cannot upgrade from v one to v two like other services. So I have to decommission the version one and create a new one with version two. Also the version one was complex with the certificates uploading the SQL certificates."
"One of the challenges we faced was the solution does not support any other PCP protocols apart from HTTP and HTTPS."
"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."
"Scalability can be an issue."
"The graphical interface needs improvement because it is not user friendly."
"The tool is a pain to deal with when it comes to the area of configuration."
"For the first-time user, it is difficult to understand so the user-interface needs to be improved."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway could improve by allowing features to use more third-party tools."
