Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."The solution provides high-level services such as availability, redundancy, and load balancing between servers."
"From a technical perspective, it is the most scalable device from Fortinet."
"The GSLB, the DR side, is the best part. Because we had our main side in one city, we created another, and we had a complete MPLS over the internet. We used the GSLB and data loss for our business applications."
"The main feature that we use is GSLB (Global Server Load Balancing). GSLB makes the customer's network more reliable by scaling applications across multiple datacenters. GSLB as a disaster recovery solution can direct traffic based on site availability."
"Key features include SSL Offloading, VM availability, and L7 load balancing."
"I am impressed with the product's load-balancing feature."
"The user interface is very easy and integrates with Sandbox easily."
"Ease of use in deploying and having it up and running requires minimal knowledge."
"The product's initial setup phase was really easy."
"This solution can protect Layer 3, Layer 4 and Layer 7 attacks of applications for us."
"The solution already has security profiles and it can protect from DDoS attacks and other kinds of attacks."
"Among its key features: Detects and mitigates DDoS attacks at L3 to L7; negligible to zero false-positives; Generates and sends reports without the need for an expensive third-party solution."
"It allows me to see all the traffic on my network."
"The solution is very user-friendly and very easy to use."
"I find the interface easy to use."
"The product allows the users to adjust the thresholds."
"The configuration is relatively complex."
"The product's stability for VMs could be better."
"Setup could be easier. The company's homework is to redesign those menus to configure with the smallest number of steps."
"The product’s price could be reduced. Also, some of its features need to be more advanced."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"The L7 Persistent load-balancing algorithm has not worked for me after having tested it many times with my customer's in-house application. I'd like to suggest that the company make sure that all load-balancing algorithms work properly with most applications, even those that are in-house apps."
"Technical support and documentation could both be improved."
"FortiADC is complex to configure so the interface should be improved."
"The primary area for improvement is the on-premises capacity limit, currently fixed at 10 GB."
"I find that there have been issues in the past year with the solution hanging. It freezes often."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly and it can be more affordable."
"All the thresholds that need to be configured should be included in the default so that user will not forget or misconfigure."
"The web interface could be much better."
"The tool needs to focus more on the area of application traffic management, where it currently has some shortcomings."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"The only thing they need to do is to automate it. Today, you must create tools that do not require the use of an expert or anyone with special skills."
