Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."The interface is easy, it's friendly, and has good alerting."
"Security is one of the most valuable features that I like. It is easy to use and easy to configure."
"The strength of this solution is the application delivery controller."
"It is easy to expand. Our clients are enterprise-size."
"The solution has been very stable."
"The features that mitigate attacks are very valuable."
"The most valuable aspect is that it establishes user security."
"The integrated application protection provided by Alteon is very good. It really helps to avoid false positives in some cases. It provides important granularity to avoid a situation in which security or cybersecurity scenarios escape us."
"It's very good at categorizing the different types of bots, whether they're malicious or good. Bot is a very generic term. It could be good, it could be bad. Quite a lot of legitimate businesses are using bot-type services to just scrape the internet for information."
"The solution provides a rating of the sophistication of the bot attack."
"I like how Bot Manager automatically detects when a suspicious user attempts to download content from your website."
"The most valuable feature is the bot management itself and the way it has stopped bots from scraping our site, with its AI mechanism. Its ability to detect and mitigate bots is really good."
"Bot Manager's behavioral modeling and intelligence help us distinguish between harmless and malicious bots."
"Bot Manager is an excellent tool for analyzing traffic to detect suspicious patterns. It uses artificial intelligence to identify malicious behavior."
"The solution could be more open to additional third-party add-ons being integrated into it."
"I would like for the load balancing to work with premier and the cloud, a mix of premium and cloud."
"I would like to see future enhancements in security, specifically in threat protection."
"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."
"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."
"It can be improved by combining the web application firewall (WAF) facility."
"We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license."
"Load balancing needs improvement. It needs better integration. I heard f5 works as a DNS operator which is not available in this solution. It would be better if that was implemented."
"Bot Manager is doing its job, but I think the behavioral modeling could be improved by adding fingerprinting and automation. Remediation should be automated so that it doesn't require any intervention by the user."
"It would be beneficial to have a link from the WAF to the Bot Manager portal available so we do not have to log in again."
"I would like more ability to configure custom rules. Currently, I need to open a ticket with support to request a specific rule that isn't available in the console. In some cases, I don't have visibility into the logs or they are too complicated to analyze."
"We're missing links to their modules for installation and configuration. They have most of them available already, but there were situations for mobile applications that, when they released a new version, were not stable. We had to ask them to send a link by email, and that could be made accessible in the portal."
"It would be good to have more integrations. It's very hard to get data in and out of their portal. It doesn't have any integrations with any of our tools, such as our SIEM tool. It only depends on emails. Having that tied into the warehouse, SIEM, and maybe our on-call tools would be very helpful because it would just give us a holistic picture of everything."
"Radware Bot Manager is a little costly but not too expensive. It's in the middle."
