Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."I like the web GUI. It's very intuitive and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the load-balancing reverse proxy."
"his solution allows me to secure applications, by blocking suspicious traffic based on the signature that has been enabled for that particular application."
"The device blocks threats and allows legitimate users to work correctly."
"The product offers high availability."
"The interface is easy, it's friendly, and has good alerting."
"I am finding SSL-TLS acceleration the most valuable function, with certificate management. It is easy to generate certificates and assign them to services"
"With Alteon, the load-balancing options are practically unlimited. We haven't had any issues with offloading, decryption, putting in cookies, or any other load-balancing features. We can check URLs, etc., on the back end for load balancing instead of running a TCP check. We're also doing some certificate stuff on there. Alteon covers all of the standard load-balancing techniques, and we employ most of them daily."
"I like the ability the product has to detect vulnerabilities quickly, when it has been released in our environment, then displaying them to us."
"When it is set up properly, it can do scanning on web apps with multiple engines automatically."
"Rapid7 AppSpider is good at managing different applications. It uses applets and generates reports to cover the PCA/GDPR compliance requirements."
"The entire solution is interactive and has a point-and-click user experience, which makes it easy to find items or drill down on information. You don't need specialized skills to use the product."
"The setup is usually straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Rapid7 AppSpider is the vulnerability reporting data. Additionally, the data is reported in a convenient way rather than seeing them as a PDF. We are able to generate all the reports exactly what we want in a flexible way."
"The initial deployment is very straightforward and simple. The product is stable if configured properly."
"I would say that it is stable, as I am not aware of any major issues."
"We don't integrate anything with it because most things don't integrate with Radware. If it were F5, we could integrate it. We can integrate F5 with practically anything that integrates with a load balancer, but that's not the case with Alteon."
"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."
"I would like for the load balancing to work with premier and the cloud, a mix of premium and cloud."
"I would like to see the loading documentation improved."
"I would like to see future enhancements in security, specifically in threat protection."
"I would like the solution to display and help visualize the reference map more easily. I would also like to better understand where queries come from and know which users are consulting the application, along with which app."
"We are having a difficult time with the security module, and how to implement the Radware security."
"You need to have pretty good internal knowledge of the solution."
"The product needs to be able to scale for large companies, like ours. We have millions of IP addresses that need to be scanned, and the scalability is not great."
"The tech support is responsive but issues remain unresolved."
"Support response times are slow and can be improved."
"The enterprise interface is too simple. It should be more customizable."
"It needs better integration with mobile applications."
"AppSpider has some problems with the RAM needed while scanning."
"The dashboard and interface are crucial and they need some improvement."
"This price of this solution is a little bit expensive."
