Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."A lot of our SSL management is done on the front-end side, so there is one pane of glass for a lot of our security certificates. It gives us visibility. It also falls under when certificates are going to expire. Even for servers that are coming down, we can see how that affects the traffic flow by using the services map."
"The SLB and GSLB load balancing are the most valuable features. They meet our need to do server-side load balancing and global site load balancing so we can distribute traffic, not only intra-data center, but inter-data center."
"The solution is user-friendly and the CLA troubleshooting is easier compared to other solutions."
