Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The production is a valuable feature.""The solution's most valuable feature is an HTTP solution and SSL certificate. It is also easy to use.""This is a SaaS product, so it is always up to date.""I rate Microsoft Azure Application Gateway's scalability a ten out of ten. My company has more than 1000 users who use it daily.""The solution has built-in rules that reduce alerts and are easy to configure.""WAF feature replicates the firewall.""We chose this solution in the first place because it has access to Layer 7. I can control the requests and the content, which I can access on my network if I want to even if it's forbidden access to other external resources. If I want to monitor, for example, traffic, and apply this rule on Layer 7, I can do so. This was our main goal when implementing this application. We wanted to take advantage of the Gateway capabilities.""The most valuable feature is WAF."

Cons
"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.""One of the challenges we faced was the solution does not support any other PCP protocols apart from HTTP and HTTPS.""I want the solution's support to improve. The tool is also expensive.""The working speed of the solution needs improvement.""Microsoft Azure Application Gateway's first deployment is complex. It needs to improve its pricing.""There is room for improvement in the pricing model.""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.""Application Gateway’s limitation is that the private and the public endpoint cannot use the same port."

    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.
