Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."Some of the key features of this solution are the low-level maintenance required, floating proxy service, and load balancing."
"The tool helps manage microservices by providing developers with a platform to conduct tests and assessments on the web application. The custom domain option is one of the most valuable features I've found. This feature is incredibly helpful for the end-users of the web application. With the custom domain feature, you can change the lengthy link to a shorter, more memorable one. For example, instead of using a lengthy default link, you can customize it to something like imail.com, which is much easier to remember and share."
"Load balancing and web application firewall features are the most valuable."
"The solution was very easy to configure. It wasn't hard at all to adjust it to our needs."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is an HTTP solution and SSL certificate. It is also easy to use."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway gives us a lot of benefits, including domain mapping."
"I rate Microsoft Azure Application Gateway's scalability a ten out of ten. My company has more than 1000 users who use it daily."
"We use the tool for our websites. We have a vulnerable subdomain. The tool helps to scan it for vulnerabilities."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is very easy to use."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Our customers adopt this solution because of the replication testing and the vulnerability assessment it can do. It is a multi-faceted product."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting, which provides a good level of detail with respect to vulnerabilities."
"The solution is stable."
"It collects the vulnerabilities on the hostnames and sends them to the Tenable.io cloud. Tenable has its own cloud where Tenable.io is running, but there are many connectors to other cloud solutions. Tenable can do vulnerability scanning for other cloud managers such as Azure, Amazon, and so on."
"The most valuable features of Tenable.io Web Application Scanning are the integration into specific use cases and scanning. All of the features of the solution are useful."
"The security of the product could be adjusted."
"The graphical interface needs improvement because it is not user friendly."
"Application Gateway’s limitation is that the private and the public endpoint cannot use the same port."
"For the first-time user, it is difficult to understand so the user-interface needs to be improved."
"The solution has many limitations. You cannot upgrade the VPN to the application gateway. So I started with version one, which has limited capabilities, and they provided version two. And unfortunately, I cannot upgrade from v one to v two like other services. So I have to decommission the version one and create a new one with version two. Also the version one was complex with the certificates uploading the SQL certificates."
"It takes a lot of time for a certificate to update in the system. That is a huge drawback, affecting the load-balancing side. And when there are changes to the load balancing, it affects the end-user."
"The solution should provide more security for certificate-based services so that we can implement more security on that."
"Implementing and standardizing the solution across the IT landscape in a heterogeneous environment is painful."
"The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not."
"The cloud and the on-premises versions have their own controllers, and there is no way to centrally manage controllers."
"I would like for them to add proxy filtering, where you can transfer and alter the package. It is fully automated. Other web application testers programs are actually proxy software, and the proxy software gives you the flexibility of modifying the outgoing package, which will actually help you in exploiting any vulnerability in detail."
"The dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"The platform's technical support services could be better."
"It isn't easy to manage vulnerabilities in Tenable."
"The reporting has a very limited customization capability."
"They have a general dashboard for web application scanning, but the dashboards and reporting can be improved. They probably have some features in their roadmap."
