Microsoft Azure Application Gateway Pros and Cons

The solution was very easy to configure. It wasn't hard at all to adjust it to our needs.

This is a SaaS product, so it is always up to date.

The solution is easy to set up.

The pricing is quite good.

The simplicity of the solution and its ability to integrate easily with others are its most valuable aspects.

WAF feature replicates the firewall.

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.

Good customization; able to report and take action on alerts.

Load balancing and web application firewall features are the most valuable.

The security of the product could be adjusted.

For the first-time user, it is difficult to understand so the user-interface needs to be improved.

The configuration is very specific right now and needs to be much more flexible.

The monitoring on the solution could be better.

The pricing of the solution could be improved. Right now, it's a bit expensive.

Scalability can be an issue.

The pricing of the solution is a bit high. The solution should offer different pricing systems.

Needs easier integration with the existing SIAM.

It does not have the flexibility for using public IPs in version 2.
