"I like the solution's load balance with DNS intelligence."
"Although FortiADC has multiple features that I like, the global DNS is the most helpful. It is primarily useful for customers with huge environments and at least two data centers. FortiADC can act as your DNS server. It can check which data center has the lowest latency, and route traffic to that one. It's an intelligent DNS."

"FortiADC is complex to configure so the interface should be improved."
"The user interface could be more friendly and CLI could be more like that of Fortigate."
"The product’s price could be reduced. Also, some of its features need to be more advanced."
