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."
"The strength of this solution is the application delivery controller."

"The most valuable feature is the load-balancing reverse proxy."
"The best features are the security through the web application firewall, the functionality that the solution offers, being a load balancer with the security functionality on top of it, and the ease of administration."

As a new user or beginner, it took us a little bit of time to figure out how to put all these things in place."

"The service could be improved by better customer support."
"The solution could be more robust."
"The community portal does not have a place to find scripts."
