We performed a comparison between Azure Front Door and Radware Alteon based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I particularly appreciate its load-balancing capabilities as it allows us to manage multiple instances and support a global presence effectively."
"The solution is good."
"The web application firewall is a great feature."
"It inspects the traffic at the network level before it comes into Azure. We can do SSL offloading, and it can detect abnormalities before the traffic comes into the application. It can be used globally and is easy to set up. It is also quite stable and scalable."
"The price is one of the most important aspects of the product. It's quite affordable."
"Rules Engine is a valuable feature."
"Has a great application firewall and we like the security."
"You can assign as many web application firewall policies as you want to the same instance of Front Door."
"I found the link load balancer and server load balancer are the most valuable."
"The most valuable aspect is that it establishes user security."
"The command line interface is simple and very user-friendly."
"The interface is easy, it's friendly, and has good alerting."
"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."
"Radware has been characterized by being extremely robust. This gives us the confidence to offer our users a continuous service."
"The link load balancing is a great feature."
"It is easy to expand. Our clients are enterprise-size."
"This is a relatively expensive solution."
"The user interface needs improvement as it is difficult to create the mapping to link the problem with your private address sources."
"I'm responsible for the governance and cost control of Azure. I'm not a specialist in any products and therefore I couldn't really speak effectively to features that are lacking or missing."
"There is room for improvement and they're working on it."
"It lacks sufficient functionality."
"There's a limitation on the amount of global rules we can add."
"My suggestion for improvement would be to enhance the Data Export feature to include specific tables, particularly the Azure Diagnostics table."
"We should be able to use Front Door defenders with multiple cloud vendors. Currently, they can be used only with the Azure cloud. Azure Front Door should also be able to do global load balancing and provide internal front door services. Microsoft should clearly define what Traffic Manager, Application Gateway, and Azure Front Door products do. These are similar products, and people get confused between these products."
"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."
"Radware Alteon could improve the troubleshooting from the command line interface, they could do a better job making it easier."
"The interface implementation can be improved."
"I would like this solution to have an integration tool that will convert configuration from other software, into readable values for this product during implementation."
"Support is very important because if we get good support, we'll be able to sell and supply more numbers."
"The service could be improved by better customer support."
"The solution could be more open to additional third-party add-ons being integrated into it."
"I would like to see the loading documentation improved."
