We performed a comparison between A10 Networks Lightning ADC and Microsoft Azure Application Gateway based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I like about Lightning ADC, is that instead of having a big appliance sitting in front of the Kubernetes cluster, Lightning can pretty much go inside of Kubernetes."
"It allows you to secure the application while balancing the connections for many other customers, reducing CPU usage and server load."
"Our clients appreciate that this is a security enabled solution."
"The simplicity of the solution and its ability to integrate easily with others are its most valuable aspects."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the web application firewall (WAF)."
"Good customization; able to report and take action on alerts."
"It does an excellent job of load balancing."
"Some of the key features of this solution are the low-level maintenance required, floating proxy service, and load balancing."
"I like the tool's stability and performance."
"We use the product in front-end and back-end applications to do the load balancing smartly."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"We would like to see some improvement in the rapidity with which we can customize security facts within the solution."
"A10 documentation is not as open and accessible as AWS and Azure documentation is."
"The support from A10 should be improved."
"The security of the product could be adjusted."
"The increased security that we are considering is because of some of the things that the security team has brought to our attention. They have pointed out that we would most likely require a better web application firewall than Azure Application Gateway."
"The solution could improve by increasing the performance when doing updates. For example, if I change the certificate it can take 30 minutes. Other vendors do not have this type of problem."
"It could be more stable, and support could be better. It would also be better if they offered more features. For example, it lacks security features. Before we used another English solution, and we realized that some of the rules were not set up correctly and passed through the Application Gateway's English controllers. But the problem, in this case, is if you send ten rules, for example, six rules hit some issues. IP address blocking could be better. The rules, for example, don't work properly. If you have one issue, one rule or another rule will not work. This sounds like total madness to me."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved. Right now, it's a bit expensive."
"Scalability can be an issue."
"The tool is a pain to deal with when it comes to the area of configuration."
"I want the solution's support to improve. The tool is also expensive."
