"We extensively use the solution every day. The solution is very stable; we haven’t seen any glitches."
"Does a good job preventing web application attacks."
"With Alteon, the load-balancing options are practically unlimited. We haven't had any issues with offloading, decryption, putting in cookies, or any other load-balancing features. We can check URLs, etc., on the back end for load balancing instead of running a TCP check. We're also doing some certificate stuff on there. Alteon covers all of the standard load-balancing techniques, and we employ most of them daily."
"The most valuable feature is the load-balancing reverse proxy."
"I like the concept of self-service, that I can do everything on my own."
"Radware has been characterized by being extremely robust. This gives us the confidence to offer our users a continuous service."
"The most valuable features of Radware Alteon are the reverse proxy functionality and the SSL offload and hardware."

"The GUI needs to be improved. Right now, the solution isn't so user-friendly."
"The service could be improved by better customer support."
"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."
