We performed a comparison between Radware Alteon and Rapid7 AppSpider based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."The interface is easy, it's friendly, and has good alerting."
"The most valuable feature is the load-balancing reverse proxy."
"The strength of this solution is the application delivery controller."
"The device blocks threats and allows legitimate users to work correctly."
"I found the link load balancer and server load balancer are the most valuable."
"The integrated application protection provided by Alteon is very good. It really helps to avoid false positives in some cases. It provides important granularity to avoid a situation in which security or cybersecurity scenarios escape us."
"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 best part is that we are able to manage it easily. It is easy to manage and easy to integrate with third-party applications."
"AppSpider's most valuable feature is reporting - everything is stored in the local database so it can be sent to other machines."
"The entire solution is interactive and has a point-and-click user experience, which makes it easy to find items or drill down on information. You don't need specialized skills to use the product."
"The initial deployment is very straightforward and simple. The product is stable if configured properly."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting, which is compliant with international standards."
"When it is set up properly, it can do scanning on web apps with multiple engines automatically."
"Rapid7 AppSpider is good at managing different applications. It uses applets and generates reports to cover the PCA/GDPR compliance requirements."
"The setup is usually straightforward."
"It scans all the components developed within a web application."
"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."
"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."
"Radware Alteon could improve the troubleshooting from the command line interface, they could do a better job making it easier."
"The community portal does not have a place to find scripts."
"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."
"Support is very important because if we get good support, we'll be able to sell and supply more numbers."
"We don't integrate anything with it because most things don't integrate with Radware. If it were F5, we could integrate it. We can integrate F5 with practically anything that integrates with a load balancer, but that's not the case with Alteon."
"Scalability should be based on customer requirements."
"The dashboard and interface are crucial and they need some improvement."
"AppSpider has some problems with the RAM needed while scanning."
"The enterprise interface is too simple. It should be more customizable."
"The solution is too slow. It could take a full day to scan. Competitors are much faster."
"Implementing Rapid7 AppSpider requires scanning and self-identification mechanisms. You can add different types of authentication to each scan."
"One of the challenges I have with AppSpider is that it gives you a lot of false positives, especially when compared to other solutions."
"Integration could be better."
"Support response times are slow and can be improved."
