We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure Application Gateway and SonicWall Web Application Firewall 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."The most valuable feature of the solution is the web application firewall (WAF)."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is its ease of use."
"I like the tool's stability and performance."
"The security feature in all the layers of the application is the most valuable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is an HTTP solution and SSL certificate. It is also easy to use."
"I find Application Gateway’s WAF module valuable because it helps prevent layer 7 attacks."
"The solution provides great automation and it is easy to upgrade service."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway gives us a lot of benefits, including domain mapping."
"Capture ATP is a good additional feature in the latest version."
"The solution offers better data protection than competitors."
"We use SonicWall Web Application Firewall for security and tunneling."
"It does not have the flexibility for using public IPs in version 2."
"The solution could improve by increasing the performance when doing updates. For example, if I change the certificate it can take 30 minutes. Other vendors do not have this type of problem."
"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 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."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway could improve by allowing features to use more third-party tools."
"The configuration is very specific right now and needs to be much more flexible."
"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."
"We should get the logs from the solution, and it should communicate with the local DNS."
"The solution needs an access management feature with API integration so we can assign certain levels of access within groups."
"We have a lot of unknown errors popping up in the latest version."
