Application gateway optimizes performance and simplifies cloud transitions
There are a lot of things I appreciate about Microsoft Azure Application Gateway. Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is beneficial for us as it helps in publishing our website, providing us comfort when it comes to the availability of our applications. The autoscaling feature in Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is very obvious, and I have no issues with it; it is well planned and organized. Microsoft Azure Application Gateway impacts our cost savings while maintaining higher performance. The Web Application Firewall (WAF) in Microsoft Azure Application Gateway has been very effective in protecting applications from security threats. Microsoft Azure Application Gateway helps us manage our AI-driven applications by enabling faster transactions, improving our work.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Our customers are more than satisfied with the user experience provided by the product."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is an easy-to-use solution."
"Load balancing and web application firewall features are the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the web application firewall (WAF)."
"The solution's most valuable feature is an HTTP solution and SSL certificate. It is also easy to use."
"The simplicity of the solution and its ability to integrate easily with others are its most valuable aspects."
"The security feature in all the layers of the application is the most valuable."
"The tool helps manage microservices by providing developers with a platform to conduct tests and assessments on the web application. The custom domain option is one of the most valuable features I've found. This feature is incredibly helpful for the end-users of the web application. With the custom domain feature, you can change the lengthy link to a shorter, more memorable one. For example, instead of using a lengthy default link, you can customize it to something like imail.com, which is much easier to remember and share."
"Good customization; able to report and take action on alerts."
 

Cons

"The tool must be simplified."
"Application Gateway’s limitation is that the private and the public endpoint cannot use the same port."
"The tool is a pain to deal with when it comes to the area of configuration."
"The solution should provide more security for certificate-based services so that we can implement more security on that."
"The graphical interface needs improvement because it is not user friendly."
"The configuration is very specific right now and needs to be much more flexible."
"Needs easier integration with the existing SIAM."
"The monitoring on the solution could be better."
"It does not have the flexibility for using public IPs in version 2."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheap."
"I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, with ten being cheap and one being expensive."
"We use the tool's basic subscription. Its licensing costs are monthly."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is a pretty affordable product. My company needs to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs of the solution. The additional costs apart from the licensing costs of the solution vary."
"There is a need to pay a fixed price per month to use the product. There are no additional payments to be made to Microsoft apart from the charges paid towards the monthly licensing costs attached to the solution."
"I rate the price of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway an eight out of ten."
"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"It is not expensive."
