We performed a comparison between Citrix Web App and API Protection and Radware Alteon based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The web application firewall which protects our services on the internet, and then of course services like our ability to provide high availability for the services we are offering are the most valuable features."
"I like the solution's simplicity compared to Citrix's on-prem solutions."
"When our primary link goes down I can still get to my Cisco devices and the NetScaler devices on-prem because of the SDN solution. If the internet connection at one of the branches goes down, we can still route them, they still get internet based on the SDN solution through one of the other sites. They can carry on working."
"I prefer this solution because of its user-friendly interface. I find it simple and close to what I am currently using, which is Citrix Fortiva Access for Multi-Factor Authentication. I appreciate the familiar user interface and troubleshooting tools it offers."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The advantage of Citrix Web App and API Protection is just its graphic user interface for beginners. The solution is nothing special, but we have to use it for the corporation. Another advantage of Citrix Web App and API Protection is that we have our copy to test things and get the know-how of it."
"The work balancing applications are the most valuable feature."
"We have good customer support."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"The product offers high availability."
"The solution has been very stable."
"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 features of Radware Alteon are the reverse proxy functionality and the SSL offload and hardware."
"The command line interface is simple and very user-friendly."
"Security is one of the most valuable features that I like. It is easy to use and easy to configure."
"The GUI was a valuable feature. It was uncomplicated and easy to use."
"The solution's pricing is a big concern and should be improved."
"Security could be improved because then I can get rid of my Cisco firewalls. If they improve the security then I could run my security, my proxy, my firewalling and my SDN solution on one device instead of having to have multiple devices."
"Their upgrades are not very backward compatible, and sometimes they mess up."
"I am not an expert in this solution, but simplicity and user-friendly interfaces are crucial for me. I would appreciate advice from Citrix, particularly in the form of an interactive guide for API protection. It would be helpful if they could provide specific points and recommendations for cybersecurity, indicating areas that need attention or improvement. I find such interactive guidance valuable."
"The product could be improved by making it easier to use and easier to implement."
"The user interface could be more friendly. Some wizards and other documentation for administrators, as well as some use cases, helps us to understand the solution."
"The configuration for its web application firewall is complicated."
"The reporting is not so good. They don't have an application to connect the logs."
"The interface implementation can be improved."
"The solution could be more open to additional third-party add-ons being integrated into it."
"We are having a difficult time with the security module, and how to implement the Radware security."
"I would like this solution to have an integration tool that will convert configuration from other software, into readable values for this product during implementation."
"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."
"Their support can be better. The Radware management is very proactive. We can connect to anybody in Radware Management in India. We can even connect with the MD of Radware India. However, their lower level staff should be more proactive towards the customers."
"Load balancing needs improvement. It needs better integration. I heard f5 works as a DNS operator which is not available in this solution. It would be better if that was implemented."
"The user interface can be improved."
