Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."From a technical perspective, it is the most scalable device from Fortinet."
"The solution provides high-level services such as availability, redundancy, and load balancing between servers."
"The product has flexible and interesting licensing options."

"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."
"Because ADC is the intermediary between the servers and the end-user application, it gives thorough information about the traffic, what the problem is."
"The most valuable feature is the SSL offloading capacity."
"Key features include SSL Offloading, VM availability, and L7 load balancing."
"Integration with IBM AS/400 and Db2 is okay."
"The dashboard is good and user-friendly."
"Provides Anti-DDoS protection, as well as other protections like SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting, and antiscanner. These types of protection are valuable to the business due to the daily attacks on our portals, and that often cannot be seen without a tool like this."
"On the real time, you can see live traffic, which is flowing into our website."
"Scalability is pretty easy on the base platform. You just add another, and you're ready to go."
"The complete solution is valuable for everything it delivers and the protection it offers."
"We use Imperva DDoS to stop DDoS attacks and reduce the amount of unwanted queries against web services or web scraping."
"Its unique interface for managing security performance and ease of use are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Technical support and documentation could both be improved."
"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."
"FortiADC is complex to configure so the interface should be improved."
"The solution's WAF needs an upgrade because it is not as good as FortiWeb, VMware, F5, or Imperva."
"The user interface could be more friendly and CLI could be more like that of Fortigate."
"Issues with SSL and encrypted traffic."
"I had a terrible experience with Fortinet support. I only used support once when I bought the solution. I got no response for two days. However, I believe that it's no longer the case. Fortinet solutions have problems when they're launched. For example, we had issues with Fortinet's authenticator when it came out. We also had trouble with FortiNAC in the beginning."
"Users would benefit from better documentation. There is official documentation, but sometimes we need more detail. We have some use cases that are not so run of the mill. It would be great if there was a knowledge base that we could go to for more answers."
"Incapsula services also provides load balancing services for their service IP address environment. So far, with monitoring their services, the IP address was only changed once."
"The salespeople tend to exaggerate its capabilities, which can cost you money if you don't verify the information."
"The rules surrounding the making of web applications could be improved."
"The cost could be lower; our end clients need to have a high budget to purchase this solution."
"The product could use a broader scope in the area of policies."
"I am not sure if this application has a policy where you can create your custom policy and run it as our firewall. We should have some ability to also create some custom policy, then run it as a firewall."
"We had an issue when securing the web applications for DDoS protection."
