We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the SSL upload.""The solution itself is perfect. It's easy to configure and we haven't had any initial issues with the hardware or power supply.""There are several levels of module so a company can upgrade if necessary.""The most valuable feature is the vertical scaling of the application infrastructure."

"We can control what rules should be used and what should be disabled.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is its ease of use.""It has a filter available, although we are not currently using it because it is not part of our requirements. But it is a good option and when it becomes part of our requirements we will definitely use it.""The solution provides great automation and it is easy to upgrade service.""The security feature in all the layers of the application is the most valuable.""The tool helps manage microservices by providing developers with a platform to conduct tests and assessments on the web application. The custom domain option is one of the most valuable features I've found. This feature is incredibly helpful for the end-users of the web application. With the custom domain feature, you can change the lengthy link to a shorter, more memorable one. For example, instead of using a lengthy default link, you can customize it to something like imail.com, which is much easier to remember and share.""I find Application Gateway’s WAF module valuable because it helps prevent layer 7 attacks.""The production is a valuable feature."

Cons
"The pricing for this solution should be reduced so that it can be more competitive.""The initial setup is complex but it is manageable.""It's hard to scale down the solution. You need to buy another product in order to do this.""It's unfortunate that the network firewall isn't really a next generation firewall."

More F5 VIPRION (EOL) Cons →

"The product could be easier to use and implement.""The working speed of the solution needs improvement.""Microsoft Azure Application Gateway could improve by allowing features to use more third-party tools.""The solution has many limitations. You cannot upgrade the VPN to the application gateway. So I started with version one, which has limited capabilities, and they provided version two. And unfortunately, I cannot upgrade from v one to v two like other services. So I have to decommission the version one and create a new one with version two. Also the version one was complex with the certificates uploading the SQL certificates.""The pricing of the solution could be improved. Right now, it's a bit expensive.""The support can be improved when you are configuring the system rules. The Disaster Recovery feature can be added in the next release. The price of the solution can be reduced a bit.""For the first-time user, it is difficult to understand so the user-interface needs to be improved.""The security of the product could be adjusted."
