Radware Alteon VA

What do you like best about the product?

The most useful aspect of Radware Alteon Application Delivery and Security is its ease of use and implementation, coupled with the great support it offers; its frequency of use is highly satisfactory thanks to the large number of functions and how easily they integrate.

What do you dislike about the product?

Perhaps the disadvantage I see is that it is just starting to strengthen in the use of artificial intelligence.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The business problems we solved with Radware Alteon Application Delivery and Security were load balancing and application security.

What do you like best about the product?

It is a very comprehensive tool, which has multiple application balancing methods.

What do you dislike about the product?

The learning curve is very steep, learning to configure it is complicated and requires quite qualified personnel to be able to do it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Complexity in implementation

What do you like best about the product?

Yes — beyond the usual load-balancing and uptime benefits, one thing I particularly like about Radware Alteon Application Delivery and Security is how it’s moving toward a more cloud-augmented security model. The newer Alteon Protect approach combines local enforcement with cloud intelligence for WAF, bot, API, and Layer 7 DDoS protection, which feels much better aligned to modern hybrid environments.

I also like the operational side of it. Centralised control, REST APIs, and infrastructure-as-code support make it easier to manage at scale, which matters a lot in a large telecom environment where consistency and speed are important.

Another positive is the flexibility around scaling and licensing. Radware positions Alteon with one license pool across environments, which helps with predictable operations and can reduce the pain of overprovisioning for peak demand.

What do you dislike about the product?

The biggest one is simplifying advanced configuration. Basic setup is manageable, but deeper policy tuning, certificate handling, and troubleshooting could be made more intuitive so teams don’t need as much specialist knowledge.

It could also improve on cost transparency and flexibility. The platform is strong, but clearer licensing and more scalable pricing options would make it easier to justify in environments where budgets are tight or needs change quickly.

Another area is day-to-day visibility and automation. Better analytics, cleaner dashboards, and more guided workflows for common operational tasks would help reduce the time spent digging through settings during incidents.

For a telecom environment, that would make it easier to support both resilience and speed without adding unnecessary operational overhead.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Radware Alteon mainly to distribute traffic evenly across our servers so none of them get overloaded. This helps us avoid bottlenecks and keeps everything running smoothly, even if one server has an issue. Having this resiliency in place means our services stay available and perform well for our users

What do you like best about the product?

Its GUI is quite simple and easy to navigate. It is easy to manage and stores SSL certificates to manage SSL requests. It provides Server Load Balancing as well as Link load balanicng.

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing as such, but the NAT setting is quite complicated when WAN multiple links are available.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is easy to Manage and Provide us to manage clients' requests. It takes the SSL offloading headache to itself, so the Application servers do not access loads and serve customers more efficiently.
