We performed a comparison between NGINX App Protect and Radware Alteon based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."NGINX App Protect's best features are auto-learning, which creates a profile of applications that are deployed, bot protection, and force protection, which lets you configure your brute force policy and alert for and prevent brute force attacks."
"The stability of the product is very impressive since it handles 60,000 to 70,000 requests or transactions per second."
"We were looking for a product that is capable of complete automation and a container based solution. It's working."
"The most valuable feature of NGINX App Protect is its flexibility."
"NGINX App Protect has complete control over the HTTP session."
"The most valuable feature is that there is a link in the system that will help to analyze the security of an application when something abnormal is found."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is a very good tool for load balancing."
"The command line interface is simple and very user-friendly."
"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 concept of self-service, that I can do everything on my own."
"It is easy to expand. Our clients are enterprise-size."
"Security is one of the most valuable features that I like. It is easy to use and easy to configure."
"The best features are the security through the web application firewall, the functionality that the solution offers, being a load balancer with the security functionality on top of it, and the ease of administration."
"A user-friendly and reasonably priced solution."
"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."
"As far as scalability, it takes a long time for deployment."
"Setting policies and parameters through the UI should be more automated because the process is manual, where we can only edit one rule at a time."
"The integration of NGINX App Protect could improve."
"They could provide a better user interface."
"Right now, the tool doesn't provide an option revolving around update feeds, specifically the signature update option in the UI."
"Its technical support could be better."
"Areas for improvement would be if NGINX could scan for vulnerabilities and learn and update the signatures of DoS attacks."
"NGINX App Protect would be improved with integration with Shape and F5 WAF, which would make it easy for users to manage all their web application security with a single solution."
"Support is an area that needs improvement."
"I would like to see the loading documentation improved."
"Support is very important because if we get good support, we'll be able to sell and supply more numbers."
"I would like for the load balancing to work with premier and the cloud, a mix of premium and cloud."
"The interface implementation can be improved."
"The user interface can be improved."
"The solution could be more open to additional third-party add-ons being integrated into it."
"I would like this solution to have an integration tool that will convert configuration from other software, into readable values for this product during implementation."
