"Security and monitoring for high-performance applications are some of the top features."
"The solution offers good load balancing."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon Elastic Load Balancing is scaling."
"It is a very scalable solution in which you can add more servers instantly."
"The device blocks threats and allows legitimate users to work correctly."
"his solution allows me to secure applications, by blocking suspicious traffic based on the signature that has been enabled for that particular application."
"I like the web GUI. It's very intuitive and easy to use."
"The health status information, with its highly detailed reporting, has saved us time on troubleshooting. We have the precise information needed that helps us find different types of situations."
"The most valuable aspect is that it establishes user security."
"The strength of this solution is the application delivery controller."
"The best part is that we are able to manage it easily. It is easy to manage and easy to integrate with third-party applications."
"The most valuable feature is the load-balancing reverse proxy."
"The product's stability is an area with a slight shortcoming, which can be improved."
"The reporting could be simplified so that the client sees a report of what they cached at the end of the month and the number of hits. It should have metrics above and beyond their Google analytics, etc. You can't do that with the solutions from AWS. You have to build sophisticated cloud trails, reports, dashboards, etc. The setup is significant, and it's hard to manage. You'll need to hire someone or pay a consultant on a regular basis to manage it, and it's not for the faint of heart."
"The machines created by Amazon Elastic Load Balancing have different IP addresses, which we are not able to whitelist or predict."
"One issue that we faced with ALB was that leaf-level certificate validation was not happening. It is not that user-friendly in that aspect."
"They should improve the solution's pricing."

"We faced some issues with the health check."
"The solution needs to guarantee stability because multiple loads behind a load balancer can cause service unavailability."
"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."
"The solution could be more open to additional third-party add-ons being integrated into it."
"I would like to see the loading documentation improved."
"I would like to see future enhancements in security, specifically in threat protection."
"Performance could be improved."
"The service could be improved by better customer support."
"We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license."
"A feature that I would like to see included in the next version might be a better analysis when working with crypt issues. Right now, it is very manual; you load it into Alteon and it runs. It would be interesting to see a more dynamic process."
