What do you like best about Azure Application Gateway?

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.

What do you dislike about Azure Application Gateway?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Azure Application Gateway:

Since this is the only native option offered, we are stuck using it but read the documentation thoroughly first, and then it will be less cumbersome. The Azure Application Gateway is quite powerful but needs some work which I have no doubt the Microsoft Azure team is already taking care of so hopefully, it will be easier to use in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Application Gateway solving and how is that benefiting you?

We deploy multiple workloads using the application gateway and host a SaaS application on Azure which incorporates the Azure Application Gateway in its pipeline. The main benefit is that it is a native service, so it integrates well with other components, and once you get familiarized with the tool, it is pretty simple to configure and use if you have all the required details handy. The deployment has the added benefit of being automated and this can benefit multiple workloads which needs to be deployed. The gateway documentation is complete but very tedious to browse through.

What do you like best about Azure Application Gateway?

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.

What do you dislike about Azure Application Gateway?

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

Recommendations to others considering Azure Application Gateway:

It makes zero sense to build load balancing on your own, when you can have Azure Application Gateway doing this on behalf of you. The cost of 30 dollars a month easily is paid back by removal of all the worries about stability and scaling of the solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Application Gateway solving and how is that benefiting you?

To have a business application that can scale for public use from all the way from zero use (0 instances load balanced) up to a very large number of serving instances. Normal maximum for our deployments has been 10 instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Application Gateway?

WAF is integrated with Application gateway whereas there are other third party products available and thus increase overall cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Application Gateway?

Type and Version is sometimes create confusion such as V1 and V2 cannot be cleared described in the portal to confirm which version of App gateway are we using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Azure Application Gateway:

If you have basic requirement of WAF and using any third party products then you can replace with App gateway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Application Gateway solving and how is that benefiting you?

Earlier we were using Barracuda WAF which is having BYOL and thus adding more cost to our solution, after using App gateway we reduced our cost and it fits to our basic WAF requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Application Gateway?

The best part I liked about it was the routing of an HTTP request based on the URI, which made it easier for me to make routing calls to different APIs.

One more thing that I liked about it was the more straightforward integration with other endpoints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Application Gateway?

The things I disliked about app gateway were I felt the price was on a higher side, there should be more data packet filtering options available on the app gateway level.

Logging needs to be more refined for the app gateway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Application Gateway solving and how is that benefiting you?

Basically we are using Azure Application Gateway for solving our routing problems with different URIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Application Gateway?

re-uploading root certificate to an existing Application Gateway doesn't undergo any downtime, and hence the best part, in my view Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Application Gateway?

1) Moving your Application Gateway from SKU tier standard to SKU tier standard_v2 or vice versa needs downtime as Azure won't allow you to do this if the subnet used for both are the same.

2) If using Application Gateway (SKU tier standard_v2), it becomes mandatory to use a static Private IP, and I can't create the Private IP's dynamically using terraform

3) If using Application Gateway (SKU tier standard_v2), it becomes mandatory to use a Public IP even if I do not want to use the same and want to communicate to the other application internally via Private IP.

Public IP sits without any listener associated with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Azure Application Gateway?

It's good to use for load balancing, and you will get rid of your webserver. I also liked the logs monitoring and the metrics collected. The redirection of http to https is easy to be applied. It has also many features like TLS/SSL termination, routing decisions based on URI path, and WAF. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Application Gateway?

It was all great except for Websockets. The WebSocket was not returning data, but the application established the connection. I was unable to discover why. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Azure Application Gateway:

If you are working with WebSockets, make sure that it's working fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Azure Application Gateway solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have a spring boot application that has an embedded tomcat server. The application is exposed through a public URL by Nginx. I tried to remove this layer (Nginx) of proxying to have a more reliable connection from external clients accessing my application.

I need to deploy VM scale sets, so I decided to use the Azure GW to route traffic between servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
