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."
"The GUI was a valuable feature. It was uncomplicated and easy to use."
"I like the web GUI. It's very intuitive and easy to use."
"The interface is easy, it's friendly, and has good alerting."
"The features that mitigate attacks are very valuable."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is the load-balancing reverse proxy."
"The device blocks threats and allows legitimate users to work correctly."
 

Cons

"The tool must be simplified."
"I would like the solution to display and help visualize the reference map more easily. I would also like to better understand where queries come from and know which users are consulting the application, along with which app."
"It can be improved by combining the web application firewall (WAF) facility."
"Performance could be improved."
"Radware Alteon could improve the troubleshooting from the command line interface, they could do a better job making it easier."
"I would like for the load balancing to work with premier and the cloud, a mix of premium and cloud."
"The reverse proxy piece is a little bit complicated. If the reverse proxy were easier to implement, that would help."
"The solution could be more open to additional third-party add-ons being integrated into it."
"Their support can be better. The Radware management is very proactive. We can connect to anybody in Radware Management in India. We can even connect with the MD of Radware India. However, their lower level staff should be more proactive towards the customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheap."
"The cost of Radware Alteon is mid-ranged."
"It has a good price point and is more reasonable than other comparable products"
"We have three-year contract with Radware. It is beneficial to have a longer-term contract because you can obtain more discounts. It seems to be a much cheaper alternative."
"Radware Alteon is less expensive than many of the other competitors."
"I'm content with Alteon's pricing."
"It is the best in the industry. It was better than the competition, and that is what made us go ahead with them."
"The solution is cost-efficient."
"Alteon's price is excellent compared to other solutions. F5 costs around twice as much. We still have about three years left before this hardware reaches the end of its life. We're migrating to the cloud, and phasing some of this out, but it's nice that they've given us a long window to keep their hardware in place."
