We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure Application Gateway and Radware Alteon based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"It has a filter available, although we are not currently using it because it is not part of our requirements. But it is a good option and when it becomes part of our requirements we will definitely use it."
"The most valuable feature is WAF."
"This is a SaaS product, so it is always up to date."
"The health probe is pretty good for your backend health. It tells you whether it's communicating and talking to the endpoint correctly. It is quite useful."
"Good customization; able to report and take action on alerts."
"Application Gateway automatically redirects unwanted users and takes care of the security aspect. It also handles the performance side of things, which is why we use it."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is its ease of use."
"The features that mitigate attacks are very valuable."
"The link load balancing is a great feature."
"The solution has been very stable."
"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 feature is the load-balancing reverse proxy."
"Radware has been characterized by being extremely robust. This gives us the confidence to offer our users a continuous service."
"I like the web GUI. It's very intuitive and easy to use."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"The working speed of the solution needs improvement."
"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."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway could improve by allowing features to use more third-party tools."
"For the first-time user, it is difficult to understand so the user-interface needs to be improved."
"The product's performance should be better."
"The monitoring on the solution could be better."
"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."
"I believe that there is room for improvement in terms of additional functionality. It is an advantage to have features readily available for configuration without needing customer-defined rules."
"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."
"The GUI needs to be improved. Right now, the solution isn't so user-friendly."
"We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license."
"The service could be improved by better customer support."
"Support is very important because if we get good support, we'll be able to sell and supply more numbers."
"We are having a difficult time with the security module, and how to implement the Radware security."
"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."
"Performance could be improved."
