We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is its ease of use.""The pricing is quite good.""We can control what rules should be used and what should be disabled.""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 solution's most valuable feature is an HTTP solution and SSL certificate. It is also easy to use.""I find Application Gateway’s WAF module valuable because it helps prevent layer 7 attacks.""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 product's initial setup phase was easy."

We have a vulnerable subdomain. The tool helps to scan it for vulnerabilities.""It is fully automated.""The initial setup is straightforward.""We can get detailed information about vulnerabilities."

Cons
"It does not have the flexibility for using public IPs in version 2.""Implementing and standardizing the solution across the IT landscape in a heterogeneous environment is painful.""The support provided for the solution has certain shortcomings that need improvement, especially when it comes to the response time from the support team.""The solution could improve by increasing the performance when doing updates. For example, if I change the certificate it can take 30 minutes. Other vendors do not have this type of problem.""The solution doesn’t support wildcard-based and regular expression-based rules.""The solution should provide more security for certificate-based services so that we can implement more security on that.""The pricing of the solution could be improved. Right now, it's a bit expensive.""I want the solution's support to improve. The tool is also expensive."

More Microsoft Azure Application Gateway Cons →

"The reporting has a very limited customization capability.""It would be great if there were a dashboard that is more user-friendly.""It isn't easy to manage vulnerabilities in Tenable.""Tenable.io Web Application Scanning could improve by offering faster fuzzing.""Tenable.io Web Application Scanning conducts a general scan, which wastes time. The scan needs to be specific.""The cloud and the on-premises versions have their own controllers, and there is no way to centrally manage controllers.""The report customization needs to be better.""The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not."
