Dashboards are very helpful for showcasing Top 5 attacked applications, Top 5 Vulnerable applications, and Top 5 Vulnerabilities affected in Applications. It helped me to prioritize the resources to secure and showcase the same to management. We don't need to analyze manually to identify all the applications and logs to find top priorities. The Apptrana helped to identify it.

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

"AppTrana helped us to protect the public-hosted Web, API, and Mobile applications by acting as a strong WAF solution which has Machine learning compatibility that analyzes and blocks the Behavior DDoS attacks."
"We use Indusface AppTrana as a firewall."
"Up until this point, it's working great for us; it's excellent at catching attacks and suspicious content and works well for us while offering good performance."
"It has a filter available, although we are not currently using it because it is not part of our requirements. But it is a good option and when it becomes part of our requirements we will definitely use it."
"Using policies to link and manage these URL-based routing configurations is also valuable."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is an easy-to-use solution."
"The tool is easy to use and quite flexible. It has policy management features as well. The solution screens all traffic to our web applications before passing it to the application. We recently tested it on one of our poorly developed applications, and the upgrade gave us a 100% result based on our tests. It's very effective as a security measure, and people can detect threats even through the web application."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the web application firewall (WAF)."
"Azure Application Gateway's most valuable feature is ease of use. The configuration is straightforward. It isn't difficult to adjust the size of your instances in the settings. You can do that with a few clicks, and the configuration file is the same way. You can also set rules and policies with minimal time and effort."
"The health probe is pretty good for your backend health. It tells you whether it's communicating and talking to the endpoint correctly. It is quite useful."
 

Cons

"AppTrana should improve its backend and frontend connections and loading speed. It is slower compared to other cloud solutions and sometimes it does not sync properly with front-end options and backend."
"The solution should add an enhanced dashboard to make it easy to navigate."
"The configuration is very specific right now and needs to be much more flexible."
"Application Gateway’s limitation is that the private and the public endpoint cannot use the same port."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway's first deployment is complex. It needs to improve its pricing."
"The graphical interface needs improvement because it is not user friendly."
"The monitoring on the solution could be better."
"The support that they provide could be faster."
"The support can be improved when you are configuring the system rules. The Disaster Recovery feature can be added in the next release. The price of the solution can be reduced a bit."
"One of the challenges we faced was the solution does not support any other PCP protocols apart from HTTP and HTTPS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Indusface AppTrana is an affordable and cost-effective solution."
"The solution is paid monthly. The solution is highly expensive."
"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"The solution is cheaper than Imperva. I rate it four to five out of ten."
"The product is not expensive."
"Between v1 and v2, there is a lot of change in the pricing. It is very costly compared to AWS."
"It is an expensive solution. We have an enterprise agreement, it is monthly."
"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."
