In addition to the great visibility it has a great dashboard and an easy to configure graphic user interface, a beautiful GUI.""What's most valuable in Avi Networks Software Load Balancer is its deployment capability, the ability to deploy in a dispersed service, with the service engines that can disperse and have a single control plane that can control the load balancing services across any available platform, wherever needed. The analytics of Avi Networks Software Load Balancer and flexibility of deployment are its most valuable features and the reasons why many people buy it.""The solution is stable.""The WAF - the web application firewall itself - is great.""The most valuable feature of the solution for my organization is its UI since it allows us to see the clusters while providing a very specific and good overall understanding.""The solution has simplified our network infrastructure management."

Cons
"The network analytics and monitoring features are not effective.""IDS and IPS sites need to be more progressive.""Avi Networks Software Load Balancer needs to improve its documentation.""I did not go with it because their APM module is a different product altogether. It's a common thing that companies do. They sell something and then they add on top of it as a different product. It is a type of marketing strategy. But when it comes to the overall management, it takes a lot of time to really look into it.""It doesn't match the development structure or user community of our existing product. It pales in comparison to that.""One struggle with Avi Networks Software Load Balancer is its integration with other VMware products. Integration could be improved in the solution so that you have a more unified control plane with it and other data center security and networking products that VMware sells. There has been a bit of a lag on the roadmap of new features that have come out there recently, but better interoperability with the hyperscale environments such as the AWS, Azure, GCPs of the world, and simpler deployment and interoperability with those existing tools, are areas that are receiving attention and could use additional attention today. These are the areas for improvement in Avi Networks Software Load Balancer.""The initial setup is a bit complex.""In terms of improvement, the pricing and documentation need improvement. We have had problems getting the documents."

More Avi Networks Software Load Balancer Cons →

"Radware LinkProof’s customer support could be improved.""There are certain features I would like to see in the next release.""The solution lacks HA configuration.""Radware LinkProof's marketing efforts need improvement to raise awareness about its capabilities and compete effectively in the market.""Could have more customizations on the dashboard."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "With Avi Networks, you can buy a 10-Gig license and, if your primary data center goes down, in the flick of a switch you can move that license to your backup data center and it will generate the traffic... there are a lot of cost-effective measures."
  • "The licensing costs for Avi Networks Software Load Balancer are really variable. The product can be sold from a bandwidth utilization perspective. It can be sold from a per CPU perspective, depending on if you're looking at on-premises or hyperscale environments. Licensing costs vary quite a bit if you're familiar with the AWS Calculator, where you can see that it can widely vary per licensing model. On a scale of one to five, with one being not very good value for the money and five being great, I would rate the pricing for Avi Networks Software Load Balancer a five because its pricing is extremely competitive. Not all features are included with the license, for example, there's single licensing."
  • "I rate the solution price a four to five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high, since it is an affordable tool."
  • "The tool is expensive."

  • "Radware LinkProof is neither cheap nor expensive."
  • "Price-wise, the solution is a reasonable one."
