More NSFOCUS Web Application Firewall Pros →

"The UI is user-friendly.""The interface is easy, it's friendly, and has good alerting.""The best part is that we are able to manage it easily. It is easy to manage and easy to integrate with third-party applications.""The device blocks threats and allows legitimate users to work correctly.""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.

It is easy to use and easy to configure.""I like the web GUI. It's very intuitive and easy to use.""It is easy to expand. Our clients are enterprise-size."

Cons
"There is a need for expanded licensing terms and options. There's also a need for improved and more agile customization features. The user needs to be able to manage each policy as required; the functionality needs to empower the user. There should be a complete suite of desktop provider policies available to users. Overall, it needs to be more user-friendly."

More NSFOCUS Web Application Firewall Cons →

"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.""The solution could be more robust.""I would like to see future enhancements in security, specifically in threat protection.""Support is an area that needs improvement.""I would like to see the loading documentation improved.""Recently our team was talking about the things you can customize in Alteon and the level of programming that doing so demands. I would like to see more information on how to customize the programming and troubleshoot.""The user interface can be improved.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "It has a good price point and is more reasonable than other comparable products"
  • "Radware Alteon is less expensive than many of the other competitors."
  • "The pricing is better than the competition. It is getting more pricey as the years go on, as more people are migrating to it, and as the technology gets better."
  • "I'm content with Alteon's pricing."
  • "Alteon's price is excellent compared to other solutions. F5 costs around twice as much. We still have about three years left before this hardware reaches the end of its life. We're migrating to the cloud, and phasing some of this out, but it's nice that they've given us a long window to keep their hardware in place."
  • "The cost of Radware Alteon is mid-ranged."
  • "Its pricing is very good. It is very competitive. Radware Alteon is the leader in the market. At a lesser price, we get a good product and also good support. Other vendors who are providing load balancers charge separately for two items. You have the hardware cost, and you have the support cost, whereas, in the case of Radware, you get both in a single package."
  • "The solution is cost-efficient."
