Azure Application Gateway Reviews & Product Details

Advanced capabilities of parsing and understanding a http request, basically operating at layer 4, 5 and 7 of OSI model and taking routing decisions on that. Moreover, it is an ideal solution to sit in between Azure DNS service and Azure Kubernetes service for modern workloads and application architecture. You can use scripting - PowerShell or ARM templates to programmatically configure Azure Application Gateway Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Azure Portal Blade for load balancer can have a more intuitive UI. As well as improvement in documentation with live tutorials would be a big help. A Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Azure Application Gateway(AGW) is a helpful tool for web traffic managers & it works similarly like AWS Application gateway wherein we can make routing decisions based on URI or host headers. e.g we can route traffic based on the incoming URL. If /images or /Videos are in the URL, we can route to the specific set of servers configured for Images or Videos. It can also be used for SSL/TLS temination as well. In some cases unencrypted communication to the servers is not acceptable because of security standards/compliance etc, In those scenarios AFW is helpful for end-to-end TLS/SSL encryption.

Azure provides end to end life cycle. Starting from the development to automated deployment, you will find [a] bunch of options. Custom hook-points allow [integration] on-premise resources as well. Excellent documentation around all the services make it easy for any novice. Overall support by [the] community and Azure Technical team is exceptional.BOT Services, Computer Vision services, ML frameworks provide excellent results compared to similar services offered by other giants in the same space. Azure data services provide excellent support to ingest data from different sources, ETL, and data consumption for BI purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reliability of hardware is low as [compared] to AWS. Sometimes processes of allocation, deallocation of resources take quite a long time without having any intimation. If the instances are costly, such delay in stopping incurs extra cost. The overall cost is much higher for ML and BI Services. Essential storage and compute cost is also a bit more as compared to AWS. Azure can surely do better with overall DevOps support. Cloud formation needs a lot more maturity and features.

The gateway works as expected once appropriately configured. The tool is a native of the Azure platform so works well with other services and no issues were encountered while configuration or after deployment. Another benefit is that you can automate its deployment once you know the entire configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation is a little bit incomplete and confusing. The terminologies are also somewhat confusing for complete newbies. The major drawback is that you require all the information beforehand before configuring the Gateway otherwise you'll have to go round and round configuring it again and again. The automated deployment template gives off some issues and needs fixing sometimes. Also, the deployment time is also quite long and needs some improvement. The gateway documentation is complete but very tedious to browse through. This could be improved as this causes delays when we need to quickly deploy something and some error is encountered.

The best things in Azure Application Gateway is the way it autoscales to the needed load. Cloud is supposed to be exactly about this; automatically scaling resources for the demand. Azure does this probably best in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Different application gateway Tiers can be confusing, as they represent something only existing in Azure world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
