"Our customers are more than satisfied with the user experience provided by the product."

More Airlock Pros →

"I rate Microsoft Azure Application Gateway's scalability a ten out of ten. My company has more than 1000 users who use it daily.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is its ease of use.""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 does an excellent job of load balancing.""I find Application Gateway’s WAF module valuable because it helps prevent layer 7 attacks.""The pricing is quite good.""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.""Some of the key features of this solution are the low-level maintenance required, floating proxy service, and load balancing."

Cons
"The tool must be simplified."

More Airlock Cons →

"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 could be more stable, and support could be better. It would also be better if they offered more features. For example, it lacks security features. Before we used another English solution, and we realized that some of the rules were not set up correctly and passed through the Application Gateway's English controllers. But the problem, in this case, is if you send ten rules, for example, six rules hit some issues. IP address blocking could be better. The rules, for example, don't work properly. If you have one issue, one rule or another rule will not work. This sounds like total madness to me.""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 doesn’t support wildcard-based and regular expression-based rules.""The graphical interface needs improvement because it is not user friendly.""The security of the product could be adjusted.""Implementing and standardizing the solution across the IT landscape in a heterogeneous environment is painful.""We have encountered some issues with automatic redirection and cancellation, leading to 502 and 504 gateway errors. So, I experienced some trouble with containers."
