The round-robin distribution of the load is quite useful. It's fantastic. We've never faced any issues. The load balancing technology has improved our service performance. We are using the server load balancing and then for Internet load balancing. We have two ISPs in my company which provide the internet. I am using 100 Mbps on one, 100 Mbps on the other. If one is running at 80%, the other is running 60%, I'm getting almost 150%. So instead of using a single link, I'm able to use both. Since business performance is critical, we like that we can take advantage of high availability. Since implementing the solution, the performance has increased in my stores. It's helped us serve customers better and faster by at least 25%. I've seen a 10% improvement in time to value.

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. Another benefit of using Alteon is the support that Radware, as a company, provides. They are very fast and that is key because the availability of our exposed services is always very important to us. We realized these benefits immediately, with highly available servers without service interruptions. We have two servers, which, thanks to the virtual services that Alteon has, can be quickly balanced. Our services are always up. The time-to-value was almost immediate. The high availability of services helps avoid losses and any instability that might result in intermittent services. We have high availability for both our servers and services, thanks to the virtual service that Alteon manages. We have two Alteon teams internally, so if one data center suddenly has a problem, the other data center still functions. That means we have an immediate solution. When one is not there, the other immediately takes control. We go to the analytics, to the graphs and to the logs, where we can identify problems and failures. We have it configured to send us notifications and alerts when a service is slow or does not respond for some time. With the alerts and the logs, we are able to further verify the graph of the services and their states of health. That helps us a lot to quickly find out if we have a problem and find solutions. We can save 80 percent of the time it used to take to investigate a case because it makes it much easier and simpler for us to find an issue.

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Oct 5, 2024

Valuable Features

"SSL offloading feature is one of the most important features. Traffic distribution is also done very well by Radware."
"Alteon helps us troubleshoot issues. It provides us statistics on application, server, and load balancer response that we can use to identify problems or latency."
"I like how easy it is to create policies in Alteon. Debugging and SSL offloading are also simple, and the global load-balancing part is good. Load-balancing and SSL offloading are the two features that ensure your virtual services work perfectly."

Room for Improvement

"Radware should work on the vulnerabilities part. There are third-party security solutions that do the security vulnerability assessment (VA). The assessment part needs to be worked on and improved. There should be more solutions. If any issue comes up and if any vulnerability is reported, the Radware team should do an R&D on that and work on that. They should give the solution to the customer."
"Alteon's user interface could be improved. F5's user interface is more user-friendly than Radware's, but Radware's hardware performs better."
"Multiple software bugs exist. Most of the time, they're issues with Radware's patching. The organization has a vulnerability and penetration team attempting to upgrade the system to version n minus one. If we have deployed the software to the n-minus-one range, the device isn't performing well because it's already in the testing version."

Pricing

"It is cost-efficient. That is why we have gone with Alteon. As a product, it is efficient and robust. We have not faced any issues with the device."
"We have three-year contract with Radware. It is beneficial to have a longer-term contract because you can obtain more discounts. It seems to be a much cheaper alternative."
"It is the best in the industry. It was better than the competition, and that is what made us go ahead with them."
