"The area that should be improved is licensing."

More R&S Web Application Firewall (DenyAll) Cons →

"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.""The service could be improved by better customer support.""The solution could be more open to additional third-party add-ons being integrated into it.""You need to have pretty good internal knowledge of the solution.""Scalability should be based on customer requirements.""The GUI needs to be improved. Right now, the solution isn't so user-friendly.""We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license.""Radware Alteon could improve the troubleshooting from the command line interface, they could do a better job making it easier."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "It has a good price point and is more reasonable than other comparable products"
  • "Radware Alteon is less expensive than many of the other competitors."
  • "The pricing is better than the competition. It is getting more pricey as the years go on, as more people are migrating to it, and as the technology gets better."
  • "I'm content with Alteon's pricing."
  • "Alteon's price is excellent compared to other solutions. F5 costs around twice as much. We still have about three years left before this hardware reaches the end of its life. We're migrating to the cloud, and phasing some of this out, but it's nice that they've given us a long window to keep their hardware in place."
  • "The cost of Radware Alteon is mid-ranged."
  • "Its pricing is very good. It is very competitive. Radware Alteon is the leader in the market. At a lesser price, we get a good product and also good support. Other vendors who are providing load balancers charge separately for two items. You have the hardware cost, and you have the support cost, whereas, in the case of Radware, you get both in a single package."
  • "The solution is cost-efficient."
