We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure Application Gateway and Radware Alteon based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Load balancing and web application firewall features are the most valuable."
"Some of the key features of this solution are the low-level maintenance required, floating proxy service, and load balancing."
"I find Application Gateway’s WAF module valuable because it helps prevent layer 7 attacks."
"The security feature in all the layers of the application is the most valuable."
"The production is a valuable feature."
"This is a SaaS product, so it is always up to date."
"The solution provides great automation and it is easy to upgrade service."
"The solution has built-in rules that reduce alerts and are easy to configure."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"The solution has been very stable."
"It saves us a lot of work in terms of management since it has tasks already defined automatically. That enables us to better administer our services. It is very dynamic and easy to administer."
"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."
"I like the ADC feature and the global certificate feature."
"A user-friendly and reasonably priced solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability. During the time that I have been using it, it has not undergone a service failure... And with the integrated application protection, we have not suffered from attacks anymore."
"I am finding SSL-TLS acceleration the most valuable function, with certificate management. It is easy to generate certificates and assign them to services"
"The product's performance should be better."
"It could be easier to change servicing."
"The tool is a pain to deal with when it comes to the area of configuration."
"The solution is easy to use overall, but the dashboard could be updated with a better layout and graphical design so that we can see the data a bit easier. Microsoft could also add more documentation. The documentation Microsoft provides doesn't tell us about resource requirements. We found that the instances we had weren't sufficient to support the firewall, so we had to increase them."
"Needs easier integration with the existing SIAM."
"Application Gateway’s limitation is that the private and the public endpoint cannot use the same port."
"I want the solution's support to improve. The tool is also expensive."
"For the first-time user, it is difficult to understand so the user-interface needs to be improved."
"A feature that I would like to see included in the next version might be a better analysis when working with crypt issues. Right now, it is very manual; you load it into Alteon and it runs. It would be interesting to see a more dynamic process."
"The reverse proxy piece is a little bit complicated. If the reverse proxy were easier to implement, that would help."
"We recently had a problem with the tables Obsolete ARP which was observed by the support team. It would be good to diagnose and solve this problem with a patch since it is not documented that it will be solved in later updates."
"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."
"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."
"We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license."
"We are having a difficult time with the security module, and how to implement the Radware security."
"I would like to see future enhancements in security, specifically in threat protection."
