As a network admin, the Radware Alteon 5424 SL has been a reliable workhorse. It's load balancing is smooth, handling traffic spikes like a champ across all SPs. Setup is intuitive and SSL offloading boosts our app performance significantly. I also appreciate the security features. The built in protection against DDOS and other threats adds a solid layer of defense, which is very critical for our infra. Plus the analytics give me clear insights into traffic patterns, making troubleshooting way faster and saving time. Advanced configurations can get tricky, especially if you are not deep into the tech weeds. Also i have noticed that firmware updates are smoother. Support is decent, though responses can be quicker for complex issues. Overall, Alteon is reliable, secure and gets the job done with minimum fuss. It's a solid choice for keeping our network humming, even if it takes a bit of know-how to unlock its full potential :)Read all insights and reviews for Alteon

What makes NetScaler to be one, if not, the best Application Delivery Controller is that it optimizes application delivery to end users with excellent performance gains. Aside from the application's performance, it will also be secure. NetScaler has been one of the leading ADCs in the market and a lot of our customers continue to use it for those reasons. However, due to the recent acquisition by CSG, it may have become a bit pricey for our small to medium customers.Read all insights and reviews for NetScaler
