Pros
"Some of the key features of this solution are the low-level maintenance required, floating proxy service, and load balancing.""It is a scalable solution...The installation phase of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is very easy.""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.""The pricing is quite good.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is its ease of use.""Azure Application Gateway's most valuable feature is ease of use. The configuration is straightforward. It isn't difficult to adjust the size of your instances in the settings. You can do that with a few clicks, and the configuration file is the same way. You can also set rules and policies with minimal time and effort.""Using policies to link and manage these URL-based routing configurations is also valuable.""The solution's most valuable feature is an HTTP solution and SSL certificate. It is also easy to use."

Cons
"The tool's pricing could be improved.""Application Gateway’s limitation is that the private and the public endpoint cannot use the same port.""It takes a lot of time for a certificate to update in the system. That is a huge drawback, affecting the load-balancing side. And when there are changes to the load balancing, it affects the end-user.""The product's performance should be better.""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.""Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is harder to manage than Imperva. It is not intuitive and stable compared to other products.""For the first-time user, it is difficult to understand so the user-interface needs to be improved.""It does not have the flexibility for using public IPs in version 2."

"There is a need for expanded licensing terms and options. There's also a need for improved and more agile customization features. The user needs to be able to manage each policy as required; the functionality needs to empower the user. There should be a complete suite of desktop provider policies available to users. Overall, it needs to be more user-friendly."

    Azure Application Gateway is a web traffic load balancer that enables you to manage traffic to your web applications. Traditional load balancers operate at the transport layer (OSI layer 4 - TCP and UDP) and route traffic based on source IP address and port, to a destination IP address and port.
