Pros
"I like the tool's stability and performance.""It does an excellent job of load balancing.""The most valuable feature of the solution is traffic management.""Load balancing and web application firewall features are the most valuable.""The most valuable feature is WAF.""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 most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway are the policies, the data store they are using, and the cloud platform it operates on."

Cons
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway's first deployment is complex. It needs to improve its pricing.""The working speed of the solution needs improvement.""It does not have the flexibility for using public IPs in version 2.""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.""Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is harder to manage than Imperva. It is not intuitive and stable compared to other products.""One of the challenges we faced was the solution does not support any other PCP protocols apart from HTTP and HTTPS.""It could be more stable, and support could be better. It would also be better if they offered more features. For example, it lacks security features. Before we used another English solution, and we realized that some of the rules were not set up correctly and passed through the Application Gateway's English controllers. But the problem, in this case, is if you send ten rules, for example, six rules hit some issues. IP address blocking could be better. The rules, for example, don't work properly. If you have one issue, one rule or another rule will not work. This sounds like total madness to me.""Application Gateway’s limitation is that the private and the public endpoint cannot use the same port."

"There are certain features I would like to see in the next release.""The solution lacks HA configuration.""Radware LinkProof’s customer support could be improved.""Could have more customizations on the dashboard.""Radware LinkProof's marketing efforts need improvement to raise awareness about its capabilities and compete effectively in the market."
