Provides high availability and fault tolerance for web applications, while operating them securely

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. We are able to define policies and use techniques to contain these types of situations when they arise. As a security tool, it is very important. Radware's solutions are very complete, and the integration among some of them—which, in some cases, we have not yet implemented but plan to—has given me peace of mind, knowing we have a robust tool with suitable solutions for all company cybersecurity issues.

Offers flexibility with a kill switch for bypassing Reblaze if needed and provides a reliable Layer 7 defense against attacks

There is still some room for improvement when it comes to bot management from Reblaze because they are relatively new compared to other vendors in the town. AWS WAF, the Web Application Firewall from AWS, has a vast database of bad IP addresses due to its long-standing presence in this business. Reblaze, being a new entrant, is still building its database of bad IP addresses and malicious systems. So, Reblaze needs to work on that aspect. But other than that, I don't think scaling Reblaze has been an issue. There were some initial glitches, but they were all sorted out. So currently, I would say that the bot management and the database are areas they should focus on for further improvement.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The UI is user-friendly."

"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."

"A user-friendly and reasonably priced solution."

"Radware has been characterized by being extremely robust. This gives us the confidence to offer our users a continuous service."

"The most valuable aspect is that it establishes user security."

"The round-robin distribution of the load is quite useful."

"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 product offers high availability."

More Radware Alteon pros

"I very much like the elastic search and reports, allowing us to have a 360-degree view of the customer's activities and enabling us to track down any suspicious bots."

"Reblaze knows how to manage security. For me as, someone who knows little about security, it's good that I have a firm that optimizes everything according to their standards. It's their responsibility and they are fully hands-on."

"The most valuable features were the real-time monitoring and the management. With this kind of product, you need a very good management system to allow you to see false positives in real-time; to see what's happening in real-time... The clarity stood out. It was very visible and very easy to navigate; very easy to find the data we were looking for."

"The best thing about Reblaze, for us, is that it has been a game changer because previously, we were using Google's Web Application Firewall, but it wasn't up to the mark."

"It is a highly resilient product that can handle significantly larger workloads and high volumes of traffic with ease."

"We like the website protection. It's really good. The dashboard is really simple to use."

"The main feature is using the rules and being able to see the traffic. It helps us find malicious traffic."

"The real-time monitoring and reporting are very good. There are information updates in their portal every two minutes. They also have the ability to spill it into Sumo Logic, for example. It's very easy to use."

Cons

"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."

"We are in the process of updating our version of the solution, so judging what should be improved is difficult. But in some cases, the visualization takes a while, especially for mapping issues."

"The reverse proxy piece is a little bit complicated. If the reverse proxy were easier to implement, that would help."

"It can be improved by combining the web application firewall (WAF) facility."

"We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license."

"The GUI needs to be improved. Right now, the solution isn't so user-friendly."

"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."

"The interface implementation can be improved."

More Radware Alteon cons

"I would like to have seen more automated reports. Maybe it has been improved in the last year and I'm just not aware of it. But from a managerial point of view, you want a summary report, a weekly report: How many attacks were blocked? How much bandwidth was saved due to the caching mechanism? What were the top-ten attacks that were tested on the network, etc? I could most likely have found all that data if I logged in to the system and ran different reports. It would be very helpful to get a management report on a weekly basis."

"The WAF features are not as granular as we would expect from a WAF system. There should be more granularity and in-depth rules, out-of-the-box."

"There is room for improvement in helping us understanding session management... We want Reblaze to catch and identify everything. We want to see the various devices doing one activity and to see, in a timeline, what's happened. We would like to see a more human-readable display to understand what's happening in the web app."

"It would be beneficial if it had a workflow or a feature that could fine-tune settings based on high-level requirements."

"They have an interface that you have to adjust to. That is a bit of a downfall because I expect an interface to be very intuitive for someone who knows little about security. But if you know about security, the interface is wonderful."

"The next release should have next-generation automation."

"Up to now the only cons I could find is sometimes getting change management back on track, because it's a company that evolves, and sometimes I don't have the same needs that they have. But besides that, up until now, I am really pleased with their service and I've also recommended them to some of my clients."

"Some of the settings on the dashboard are confusing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Radware Alteon is less expensive than many of the other competitors."

"The solution is cost-efficient."

"I'm content with Alteon's pricing."

"Alteon's price is excellent compared to other solutions. F5 costs around twice as much. We still have about three years left before this hardware reaches the end of its life. We're migrating to the cloud, and phasing some of this out, but it's nice that they've given us a long window to keep their hardware in place."

"The price conforms to what the tool provides. It is not an inexpensive tool and not all companies can afford an ADC solution such as Alteon. However, it justifies its price with the options it offers."

"It is the best in the industry. It was better than the competition, and that is what made us go ahead with them."

"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."

"The pricing is better than the competition. It is getting more pricey as the years go on, as more people are migrating to it, and as the technology gets better."

More Radware Alteon pricing and cost advice

"I believe that for the six instances we have right now, it's costing us $16,000 per month."

"On a monthly basis we pay $750."

"We found the cost to be a bit on the higher side, starting at approximately three to four thousand dollars for a small configuration."

"There is still some room for improvement when it comes to bot management from Reblaze because they are relatively new compared to other vendors in the town."
