Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."Content caching and content compression are good features."
"The most valuable feature is the SSL offloading capacity."
"Simple to use and easy to integrate."
"It's a good product because it supports all the features that ADC solutions in the market can support, like F5 solutions, for example, such as the LTM of F5."
"The product has flexible and interesting licensing options."
"Key features include SSL Offloading, VM availability, and L7 load balancing."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiADC is a good product because each and every piece of content is monitored by it."
"I find the interface easy to use."
"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."
"The solution already has security profiles and it can protect from DDoS attacks and other kinds of attacks."
"The product allows the users to adjust the thresholds."
"This solution can protect Layer 3, Layer 4 and Layer 7 attacks of applications for us."
"We have researched them all, and it's a good solution all around."
"The solution is very user-friendly and very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud DDoS scrubbing capability."
"The user interface could be more friendly and CLI could be more like that of Fortigate."
"The product's stability for VMs could be better."
"Issues with SSL and encrypted traffic."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's WAF needs an upgrade because it is not as good as FortiWeb, VMware, F5, or Imperva."
"The solution should improve finding false positives and false negatives. There are a lot of false positives."
"The configuration is relatively complex."
"The web interface could be much better."
"Alerts and reporting features must be improved."
"All the thresholds that need to be configured should be included in the default so that user will not forget or misconfigure."
"I find that there have been issues in the past year with the solution hanging. It freezes often."
"I would like to see analytics, big data."
"There aren't really any aspects of the solution we are unhappy with. It's been a positive experience overall."
"The tool needs to focus more on the area of application traffic management, where it currently has some shortcomings."
"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."
