We used high quality BeppoSAX data of 6 Seyfert galaxies to test realistic thermal Comptonization models. Our main effort was to adopt a Comptonization model taking into account the anisotropy of the soft photon field. The best fit parameter values of the temperature and optical depth of the corona and of the reflection normalization obtained fitting this class of models to the data are substantially different from those derived fitting the same data with the power law + cut--off model commonly used. The two models also provide different trends and correlation between the physical parameters, which has major consequences for the physical interpretation of the data
