An exceptionally stable and scalable solution for load balancing
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The DGP, routing, L2, and L3 switches are the most valuable features of the Radware LinkProof.
What needs improvement?
The solution lacks HA configuration. In comparison, Alteon has a better HA configuration. Plus, the 30.5 version and 30.0 version of Alteon have some differences in relation to the HA configuration.
The HA configuration feature is important as it enables a failover with a cluster of more than LinkProof.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution since 2017. My company has a partnership with Radware LinkProof.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution. Two administrators are using the solution presently.
How are customer service and support?
I contacted their technical support regarding the SysTrack migration. Still, they could not give a proper solution as I could not give them the exact data.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was straightforward. The deployment takes around half an hour if you go into all the specifications and functionality. Only two people are needed for the deployment process.
Initially, we configure the solution and test for functionalities like HCR and whether the load balancing is happening correctly. Once that is checked, we move into production and then upload the device for one week. If it is functioning well, then we remove the existing device. We are following the same procedure for all servers, storage, and firewalls, as we have faced issues with power fluctuations before this.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Price-wise, the solution is a reasonable one.
What other advice do I have?
Contact the technical support team and implement the suggested steps in case of migration. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, the production will get impacted.
I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.
Provides better protection for our web applications by delaying access to the interface and limiting access to specific web applications
What is our primary use case?
We use Radware Alteon for data protection and security compliance.
How has it helped my organization?
Radware Alteon's integrated application protection is a good choice. It provides better protection for our web applications by delaying access to the interface and limiting access to specific web applications. This centralized and limited access makes it easier to manage our web applications, even if we have multiple users or customers. We have also provided suggestions for a release that includes the customer's recommended modifications and edits. This release is sufficient for cloud-based applications.
Radware Alteon's out-of-the-box integration feature is good.
The automation script libraries for each orchestrator are of good quality. Our team can apply the updates and configure them.
Radware Alteon has improved our organization by providing an interface for connecting 10 Gigabit Ethernet transceivers. This allowed us to increase our network bandwidth and improve the performance of our applications.
Radware Alteon Analytics saved us around 15 percent of the time troubleshooting. The dashboard provides a helpful overview of active alerts and warnings, and we can easily investigate and add new ones as needed. This has made it much easier to identify and resolve issues quickly.
What is most valuable?
The UI is user-friendly.
The cloud features are valuable.
What needs improvement?
The interface implementation can be improved. If any features of the current version need to be upgraded, such as those related to net flow, we need to reboot the system properly. We also need to be able to upgrade any Radware updates related to the version.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Radware Alteon for one and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Radware Alteon is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Radware Alteon is scalable. The solution is deployed in multiple mobile locations with over 1,000 users.
How are customer service and support?
Radware Alteon's technical support is excellent.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment took two days and two people to complete. We received training from the Radware team.
What about the implementation team?
The implementation was completed in-house.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The cost of Radware Alteon is mid-ranged.
The GEL licensing is flexible. The GEL license has helped save us around 25 percent.
What other advice do I have?
I give Radware Alteon a ten out of ten.
We have seen time to value especially around the data security and compliance of Radware Alteon. We saw time to value after one and a half weeks of implementing Radware Alteon.
Radware Alteon is a scalable and available application delivery controller that can be used by organizations of all sizes. It offers a wide range of features, including automation, optimization, and migration from older to newer versions.
Radware Alteon is easy for organizations to switch to because it has training portals that provide all the necessary information, which minimizes the learning curve.
The maintenance is completed on a quarterly basis by the vendor.
I recommend Radware Alteon, but it is always a good idea to do a proof of concept before switching solutions.
