Find out in this report how the two Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The web application firewall is a great feature."
"I am impressed with the tool's integrations."
"I particularly appreciate its load-balancing capabilities as it allows us to manage multiple instances and support a global presence effectively."
"The solution is good."
"It inspects the traffic at the network level before it comes into Azure. We can do SSL offloading, and it can detect abnormalities before the traffic comes into the application. It can be used globally and is easy to set up. It is also quite stable and scalable."
"You can assign as many web application firewall policies as you want to the same instance of Front Door."
"Has a great application firewall and we like the security."
"The most valuable feature is that you can implement resources globally. It does not depend on location and ability or something like that. This is to connect clients around the world."
"The product offers high availability."
"The most valuable feature is the load-balancing reverse proxy."
"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 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."
"I found the link load balancer and server load balancer are the most valuable."
"The features that mitigate attacks are very valuable."
"The most valuable features of Radware Alteon are the reverse proxy functionality and the SSL offload and hardware."
"I am finding SSL-TLS acceleration the most valuable function, with certificate management. It is easy to generate certificates and assign them to services"
"This is a relatively expensive solution."
"The product needs to improve its latency."
"I'm responsible for the governance and cost control of Azure. I'm not a specialist in any products and therefore I couldn't really speak effectively to features that are lacking or missing."
"My suggestion for improvement would be to enhance the Data Export feature to include specific tables, particularly the Azure Diagnostics table."
"The product's features are limited compared to Cloudflare. The tool also doesn't work well in a hybrid environment. I would like to see a way to add personalized APIs in the system."
"We should be able to use Front Door defenders with multiple cloud vendors. Currently, they can be used only with the Azure cloud. Azure Front Door should also be able to do global load balancing and provide internal front door services. Microsoft should clearly define what Traffic Manager, Application Gateway, and Azure Front Door products do. These are similar products, and people get confused between these products."
"There's a limitation on the amount of global rules we can add."
"The user interface needs improvement as it is difficult to create the mapping to link the problem with your private address sources."
"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."
"The reverse proxy piece is a little bit complicated. If the reverse proxy were easier to implement, that would help."
"You need to have pretty good internal knowledge of the solution."
"The community portal does not have a place to find scripts."
"We are having a difficult time with the security module, and how to implement the Radware security."
"The solution could be more robust."
"I would like for the load balancing to work with premier and the cloud, a mix of premium and cloud."
"I would like to see the loading documentation improved."
