Pros
"The most valuable feature is the load-balancing reverse proxy.""The strength of this solution is the application delivery controller.""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.""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 features that mitigate attacks are very valuable.""The most valuable aspect is that it establishes user security.""The interface is easy, it's friendly, and has good alerting.""The product offers high availability."

Cons
"Support is very important because if we get good support, we'll be able to sell and supply more numbers.""The reverse proxy piece is a little bit complicated. If the reverse proxy were easier to implement, that would help.""A feature that I would like to see included in the next version might be a better analysis when working with crypt issues. Right now, it is very manual; you load it into Alteon and it runs. It would be interesting to see a more dynamic process.""The solution could be more open to additional third-party add-ons being integrated into it.""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.""We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license.""I would like for the load balancing to work with premier and the cloud, a mix of premium and cloud.""Their support can be better. The Radware management is very proactive. We can connect to anybody in Radware Management in India. We can even connect with the MD of Radware India. However, their lower level staff should be more proactive towards the customers."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It has a good price point and is more reasonable than other comparable products"
  • "Radware Alteon is less expensive than many of the other competitors."
  • "The pricing is better than the competition. It is getting more pricey as the years go on, as more people are migrating to it, and as the technology gets better."
  • "I'm content with Alteon's pricing."
  • "Alteon's price is excellent compared to other solutions. F5 costs around twice as much. We still have about three years left before this hardware reaches the end of its life. We're migrating to the cloud, and phasing some of this out, but it's nice that they've given us a long window to keep their hardware in place."
  • "The cost of Radware Alteon is mid-ranged."
  • "Its pricing is very good. It is very competitive. Radware Alteon is the leader in the market. At a lesser price, we get a good product and also good support. Other vendors who are providing load balancers charge separately for two items. You have the hardware cost, and you have the support cost, whereas, in the case of Radware, you get both in a single package."
  • "The solution is cost-efficient."
  • More Radware Alteon Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
