Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."I like the web GUI. It's very intuitive and easy to use."
"It saves us a lot of work in terms of management since it has tasks already defined automatically. That enables us to better administer our services. It is very dynamic and easy to administer."
"The most valuable features of Radware Alteon are the reverse proxy functionality and the SSL offload and hardware."
"Radware has been characterized by being extremely robust. This gives us the confidence to offer our users a continuous service."
"The most valuable feature is the load-balancing reverse proxy."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability. During the time that I have been using it, it has not undergone a service failure... And with the integrated application protection, we have not suffered from attacks anymore."
"The strength of this solution is the application delivery controller."
"The best part is that we are able to manage it easily. It is easy to manage and easy to integrate with third-party applications."
"The most valuable feature is the bot management itself and the way it has stopped bots from scraping our site, with its AI mechanism. Its ability to detect and mitigate bots is really good."
"I like how Bot Manager automatically detects when a suspicious user attempts to download content from your website."
"It's very good at categorizing the different types of bots, whether they're malicious or good. Bot is a very generic term. It could be good, it could be bad. Quite a lot of legitimate businesses are using bot-type services to just scrape the internet for information."
"The solution provides a rating of the sophistication of the bot attack."
"Bot Manager's behavioral modeling and intelligence help us distinguish between harmless and malicious bots."
"Bot Manager is an excellent tool for analyzing traffic to detect suspicious patterns. It uses artificial intelligence to identify malicious behavior."
"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."
"I would like to see the loading documentation improved."
"We are having a difficult time with the security module, and how to implement the Radware security."
"It can be improved by combining the web application firewall (WAF) facility."
"The service could be improved by better customer support."
"The interface implementation can be improved."
"Load balancing needs improvement. It needs better integration. I heard f5 works as a DNS operator which is not available in this solution. It would be better if that was implemented."
"Support is very important because if we get good support, we'll be able to sell and supply more numbers."
"It would be good to have more integrations. It's very hard to get data in and out of their portal. It doesn't have any integrations with any of our tools, such as our SIEM tool. It only depends on emails. Having that tied into the warehouse, SIEM, and maybe our on-call tools would be very helpful because it would just give us a holistic picture of everything."
"We're missing links to their modules for installation and configuration. They have most of them available already, but there were situations for mobile applications that, when they released a new version, were not stable. We had to ask them to send a link by email, and that could be made accessible in the portal."
"I would like more ability to configure custom rules. Currently, I need to open a ticket with support to request a specific rule that isn't available in the console. In some cases, I don't have visibility into the logs or they are too complicated to analyze."
"Bot Manager is doing its job, but I think the behavioral modeling could be improved by adding fingerprinting and automation. Remediation should be automated so that it doesn't require any intervention by the user."
"It would be beneficial to have a link from the WAF to the Bot Manager portal available so we do not have to log in again."
"Radware Bot Manager is a little costly but not too expensive. It's in the middle."
