Radware Alteon is most useful for customizing in-house applications based on ports and protocols."

"I like the web GUI. It's very intuitive and easy to use."
"The most valuable aspect is that it establishes user security."
"The GUI was a valuable feature. It was uncomplicated and easy to use."

"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."
"We are having a difficult time with the security module, and how to implement the Radware security."
"Support is very important because if we get good support, we'll be able to sell and supply more numbers."
"The service could be improved by better customer support."
"We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license."
"We are in the process of updating our version of the solution, so judging what should be improved is difficult. But in some cases, the visualization takes a while, especially for mapping issues."
"Support is an area that needs improvement."
"We don't integrate anything with it because most things don't integrate with Radware. If it were F5, we could integrate it. We can integrate F5 with practically anything that integrates with a load balancer, but that's not the case with Alteon."
"Even if we create some custom rules, Signal Sciences cannot capture some of the malicious traffic."
"The areas that could be improved in Signal Sciences include the effectiveness of rules, as many didn't function optimally and required custom rule-writing to address bypasses for WAF."
