Great security feature for handling traffic at an affordable price

We use this solution for public-facing for LANs, WAF and non-critical public-facing. The solution is deployed on-premises The security feature that handles the traffic and works on the initial traffic for the website is very valuable. The quality of the solution's performance could be improved.…

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is its ease of use."

"I find Application Gateway’s WAF module valuable because it helps prevent layer 7 attacks."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the web application firewall (WAF)."

"Using policies to link and manage these URL-based routing configurations is also valuable."

"The most valuable feature is WAF."

Cons

"The quality of the solution's performance could be improved."

"The Barracuda Load Balancer ADC could be improved with more customization features. For example, F5 uses iRules for custom configurations. I haven't found something similar in Barracuda yet. The load balancer and WAF's basic and common features are enough, but we need more customization options."

"Load Balancer ADC is competitively priced, but it's not feature-rich, and its technology is not that advanced."

"The solution is easy to use overall, but the dashboard could be updated with a better layout and graphical design so that we can see the data a bit easier. Microsoft could also add more documentation. The documentation Microsoft provides doesn't tell us about resource requirements. We found that the instances we had weren't sufficient to support the firewall, so we had to increase them."

"The solution can sometimes feel a little cumbersome unless you're a professional infrastructure person."

"It does not have the flexibility for using public IPs in version 2."

"Application Gateway’s limitation is that the private and the public endpoint cannot use the same port."

"Scalability can be an issue."

"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway could improve by allowing features to use more third-party tools."

"It is a bit tricky to configure. You've got to have a very specific format to configure it. They should make it a little bit easier to configure. Mapping the certificates into it isn't easy, and it could be better. Currently, you've to write a bit of automation to pull certificates directly to HTTPS."

"Application Gateway’s limitation is that the private and the public endpoint cannot use the same port."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."

"Load Balancer ADC is cost-effective and is about half the price of F5."

"The tool's pricing model is pay-as-you-go."

"There is some additional cost, such as extended support."

"The solution is fairly priced."

"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is expensive."

"The solution is reasonably priced."

"The solution is paid monthly. The solution is highly expensive."

"Regarding pricing for Azure Application Gateway, I would rate it at seven."

"The price of the solution can be reduced a bit."
