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."
"Our clients appreciate that this is a security enabled solution."
"It allows you to secure the application while balancing the connections for many other customers, reducing CPU usage and server load."
"The strength of this solution is the application delivery controller."
"The solution has been very stable."
"Radware has been characterized by being extremely robust. This gives us the confidence to offer our users a continuous service."
"It saves us a lot of work in terms of management since it has tasks already defined automatically. That enables us to better administer our services. It is very dynamic and easy to administer."
"The health status information, with its highly detailed reporting, has saved us time on troubleshooting. We have the precise information needed that helps us find different types of situations."
"The GUI was a valuable feature. It was uncomplicated and easy to use."
"The features that mitigate attacks are very valuable."
"I found the link load balancer and server load balancer are the most valuable."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see future enhancements in security, specifically in threat protection."
"It can be improved by combining the web application firewall (WAF) facility."
"Radware Alteon could improve the troubleshooting from the command line interface, they could do a better job making it easier."
"A feature that I would like to see included in the next version might be a better analysis when working with crypt issues. Right now, it is very manual; you load it into Alteon and it runs. It would be interesting to see a more dynamic process."
"Performance could be improved."
"You need to have pretty good internal knowledge of the solution."
