Find out in this report how the two Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The solution has built-in rules that reduce alerts and are easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature is WAF."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway are the policies, the data store they are using, and the cloud platform it operates on."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway gives us a lot of benefits, including domain mapping."
"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 solution provides great automation and it is easy to upgrade service."
"his solution allows me to secure applications, by blocking suspicious traffic based on the signature that has been enabled for that particular application."
"I like the web GUI. It's very intuitive and easy to use."
"I am finding SSL-TLS acceleration the most valuable function, with certificate management. It is easy to generate certificates and assign them to services"
"The best features are the security through the web application firewall, the functionality that the solution offers, being a load balancer with the security functionality on top of it, and the ease of administration."
"With Alteon, the load-balancing options are practically unlimited. We haven't had any issues with offloading, decryption, putting in cookies, or any other load-balancing features. We can check URLs, etc., on the back end for load balancing instead of running a TCP check. We're also doing some certificate stuff on there. Alteon covers all of the standard load-balancing techniques, and we employ most of them daily."
"The most valuable aspect is that it establishes user security."
"The product offers high availability."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"Application Gateway’s limitation is that the private and the public endpoint cannot use the same port."
"The monitoring on the solution could be better."
"The product's performance should be better."
"It could be more stable, and support could be better. It would also be better if they offered more features. For example, it lacks security features. Before we used another English solution, and we realized that some of the rules were not set up correctly and passed through the Application Gateway's English controllers. But the problem, in this case, is if you send ten rules, for example, six rules hit some issues. IP address blocking could be better. The rules, for example, don't work properly. If you have one issue, one rule or another rule will not work. This sounds like total madness to me."
"The tool is a pain to deal with when it comes to the area of configuration."
"Application Gateway’s limitation is that the private and the public endpoint cannot use the same port."
"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."
"The tool's pricing could be improved."
"I would like for the load balancing to work with premier and the cloud, a mix of premium and cloud."
"We are having a difficult time with the security module, and how to implement the Radware security."
"Scalability should be based on customer requirements."
"You need to have pretty good internal knowledge of the solution."
"The community portal does not have a place to find scripts."
"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."
"The GUI needs to be improved. Right now, the solution isn't so user-friendly."
"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."
