Alerts organizations if any malware is detected and removes it quickly
The solution allows me to change my logo. It gives me a white-label portal because I am a partner. OWASP has been the most effective in malware prevention. It can detect if the headers are okay and do FTP scans. We get alerts if we have some malware. It is removed very quickly.

Mutual TLS has secured our web services and now needs broader protocol support
The most valuable feature we have found in Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is mutual TLS. We find mutual TLS valuable because we can verify the client securely by setting up the trust certificate of the client, and also if we do it at the client side as well. This successfully develops mutual trust, ensuring that we know the client who is calling our service is a legitimate client. That is a very nice feature.Microsoft Azure Application Gateway has helped manage our traffic efficiently because we have many web services that we can put behind the same URL, and we can have different URLs with the same Application Gateway with a limited number of listeners. We can do host-based routing as well as URL-based routing or path-based routing. It supports both, so we can have even a single URL supporting many applications, or we can have different URLs for different applications respectively. We have both use cases.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We get alerts if we have some malware."
"The solution is very good and I feel more secure under this than I did under Symantec or McAfee."
"The FIM feature, the information in the new management system, and their support are the most valuable features. The scanned results are quite fast as compared to other platforms compared to scanning timing. It takes about a minute or two minutes. Also, the results of the Comodo scan results are in detail."
"They took my website under their surveillance, scanned the website for infection, detected the incident, and removed it in a jiff."
"My customers see ROI in the sense that their whole environment is secure."
"The solution is pretty stable. I've never faced pressing issues or hanging issue."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the web application firewall (WAF)."
"The Azure Application Gateway allows us to hide all of our backend components from our clients."
"It is a scalable solution...The installation phase of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is very easy."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway gives us a lot of benefits, including domain mapping."
"The best features for Microsoft Azure Application Gateway basically protect your application and provide security-related features and also divert the traffic to different instances of your application."
"The security feature in all the layers of the application is the most valuable."
"The production is a valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The portal is a little slow."
"A small problem is from the support team. Sometimes they are a bit delayed."
"The solution needs to build better performance, specifically in the hardware resources."
"Better CDN could be a great thing since this is the best that any website owners would be interested in for protecting their website."
"It is a bit tricky to configure in the UI. You've got to configure front end back end ports ips and map the listeners and rules for single or multi sites to configure it."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway's first deployment is complex. It needs to improve its pricing."
"The solution doesn’t support wildcard-based and regular expression-based rules."
"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."
"In the next release, the solution could improve the integration with Service Mesh and other Azure Security Services."
"It could be easier to change servicing."
"It does not have the flexibility for using public IPs in version 2."
"The solution should provide more security for certificate-based services so that we can implement more security on that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Comodo cWatch’s first level, which has fewer features, costs $7."
"I rate the price of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway an eight out of ten."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"The price of the solution can be reduced a bit."
"I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, with ten being cheap and one being expensive."
"There is some additional cost, such as extended support."
"I rate the pricing seven out of ten because some third-party solutions are even costlier than this."
"The solution is cheaper than Imperva. I rate it four to five out of ten."
"The solution is reasonably priced compared to other solutions."
