"The most valuable thing for me is TCP/IP Layer 4 stuff you can do with HAProxy. You can go down to the protocol level and make decisions on something."
"The technical support has been, in one word, perfect. Every time I call, I’m on the phone with a representative within five minutes who is highly skilled and willing to help, whether in the case of critical issues or simple advice."
"Stability is number one."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that it works for my use case of application load balancing. I'm using it for PeerSense, and it's easy enough for PeerSense."
"Load balancing is valuable, and we are also using the WAF feature."
"It is a crucial tool in ensuring smooth service provision without any interruptions."
"I am also able to make configuration changes during the day, in production, with no worries of problems and/or downtime occurring."
"I like the concept of self-service, that I can do everything on my own."
"I like the web GUI. It's very intuitive and easy to use."
"The most valuable aspect is that it establishes user security."
"It is easy to expand. Our clients are enterprise-size."
"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 device blocks threats and allows legitimate users to work correctly."
"Security is one of the most valuable features that I like. It is easy to use and easy to configure."
"The integrated application protection provided by Alteon is very good. It really helps to avoid false positives in some cases. It provides important granularity to avoid a situation in which security or cybersecurity scenarios escape us."
"There is no standardized document available. So, any individual has to work from scratch to work it out. If some standard deployment details are available, it would be helpful for people while deploying it. There should be more documentation on the standard deployment."

"I would like to see future enhancements in security, specifically in threat protection."
"The user interface can be improved."
"The community portal does not have a place to find scripts."
