Featured Reviews

Arshad Nr - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Security Consultant at CyberNxt Solutions LLP
Provides comprehensive executive vulnerability scanning report for applications
Dashboards are very helpful for showcasing Top 5 attacked applications, Top 5 Vulnerable applications, and Top 5 Vulnerabilities affected in Applications. It helped me to prioritize the resources to secure and showcase the same to management. We don't need to analyze manually to identify all the applications and logs to find top priorities. The Apptrana helped to identify it.

Information Security Engineer at BOK
Displays flexible, user-friendly interface with minor licensing challenges
The product could be improved with a more intuitive interface for complex configurations and more advanced analytics. Additionally, enhanced security features, like a more robust Web Application Firewall, and stronger APIs for better automation would be beneficial. Overall, the main areas for improvement are in strengthening the advanced features to better meet the demands of large-scale enterprise environments. key features for the next release should focus on three areas. First, an enhanced, next-generation security suite with a more powerful Web Application Firewall (WAF) and integrated bot protection. Second, more advanced and customizable analytics dashboards to provide deeper insights into application performance. Finally, greater support for modern, cloud-native environments, including better APIs for automation and seamless hybrid-cloud traffic management

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use Indusface AppTrana as a firewall."
"AppTrana helped us to protect the public-hosted Web, API, and Mobile applications by acting as a strong WAF solution which has Machine learning compatibility that analyzes and blocks the Behavior DDoS attacks."
"I can sleep at night because of the Kemp Load Balancer, just knowing that in case of a failover, the email will keep flowing and our users will have access in the morning."
"Managing and maintaining multiple servers is done in a single place."
"Security is considered the most effective feature in Kemp LoadMaster."
"Edge Security Pack is valuable because of the way it separates between critical infrastructure and the public internet."
"This is a very competitive solution - they have a very solid product and it's cheaper than other solutions."
"Switching to Kemp has made our lives so much easier."
"It's been a great reliable product for us, and I would recommend it to anyone!"
"At this time, the only features that the organization needs are the synchronization of emails to mobile devices and Outlook, so overall, we are satisfied with this product."
 

Cons

"AppTrana should improve its backend and frontend connections and loading speed. It is slower compared to other cloud solutions and sometimes it does not sync properly with front-end options and backend."
"The solution should add an enhanced dashboard to make it easy to navigate."
"It would be very helpful to get all the http/https session logs by default in the log monitor without activating debugging mode like an apache web sever natively does"
"Reporting and monitoring need serious improvement."
"It would be nice if the historical metrics were easily exportable from the interface."
"In the web interface, there are a lot of settings in the different menus and it would be helpful if there were an interactive help system or tooltips to help the administrators find and configure the right settings."
"Some documentation is out of date versus the new version, and things have been moved​."
"Obviously, there are a lot of moving parts and fieldssettings on Kemp LoadMaster. Not all the settings are easily understandable."
"I would like to see more automation and control of overactive and inactive resources. If I could schedule these around our updates then it would be all automated. I would like to set up an automated script to coincide with the scripts I use to update resources and servers."
"Certificate installations could be simplified and modernized, and allowed to be monitored for expirations/issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Indusface AppTrana is an affordable and cost-effective solution."
"KEMP gives away free trials for 30 days. This can be stretched if you want. During the test, you will have access to KEMP support.​"
"The product definitely provides what the organization needs and its cost is reasonable considering the value it brings."
"The price is lower than other options."
"Less expensive than Citrix."
"From a cost perspective, Kemp is very competitive and is not hard to justify by any means."
"At $2,500 USD, this is absolutely a fantastic buy for the money!"
"The costs for the Kemp Load Balancer solution are okay because, for a good product, you have to spend money."
"The pricing is alright and we pay a monthly licensing fee"
