Find out in this report how the two Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The pricing is quite good."
"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."
"Using policies to link and manage these URL-based routing configurations is also valuable."
"I find Application Gateway’s WAF module valuable because it helps prevent layer 7 attacks."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"I find Application Gateway’s WAF module valuable because it helps prevent layer 7 attacks."
"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."
"A user-friendly and reasonably priced solution."
"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."
"I like the web GUI. It's very intuitive and easy to use."
"The most valuable aspect is the ability to customize the types of load-balancing scenarios needed for customized applications. Some of the load balancers on the market today are strictly out-of-hand load balancers for SSL or HTTP. Radware Alteon is most useful for customizing in-house applications based on ports and protocols."
"The features that mitigate attacks are very valuable."
"The strength of this solution is the application delivery controller."
"With Alteon, the load-balancing options are practically unlimited. We haven't had any issues with offloading, decryption, putting in cookies, or any other load-balancing features. 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."
"Security is one of the most valuable features that I like. It is easy to use and easy to configure."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway's first deployment is complex. It needs to improve its pricing."
"The security of the product could be adjusted."
"For the first-time user, it is difficult to understand so the user-interface needs to be improved."
"The product could be easier to use and implement."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is harder to manage than Imperva. It is not intuitive and stable compared to other products."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway could improve by allowing features to use more third-party tools."
"It does not have the flexibility for using public IPs in version 2."
"Needs easier integration with the existing SIAM."
"Performance could be improved."
"The user interface can be improved."
"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."
"The solution could be more robust."
"The reverse proxy piece is a little bit complicated. If the reverse proxy were easier to implement, that would help."
"I would like to see the loading documentation improved."
"It can be improved by combining the web application firewall (WAF) facility."
"We are in the process of updating our version of the solution, so judging what should be improved is difficult. But in some cases, the visualization takes a while, especially for mapping issues."
