We performed a comparison between A10 Networks Thunder ADC and F5 VIPRION (EOL) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."A10 explained why the latency dropped significantly on a site that we have."
"It helps with the efficiency of application deployments and data security."
"The solution is stable."
"The Deterministic CGNAT feature is valuable for us."
"It is very useful to have a simple dashboard where you can login and look into what your traffic patterns are, then look and see what times of day you're experiencing the heaviest traffic. You can quickly identify if you are possibly having a security issue or security breach. It makes it very easy to use the box."
"A10 Networks Thunder ADC is an easy-to-use and flexible solution."
"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."
"We do have the option of creating virtual chassis, so that gives it a bit more security. If we find an application which is not going to play well in the main pool, we can easily create a virtual chassis and have that application in that virtual chassis. With the virtual chassis we can also create system partitions and have a test system for test applications, and have the others elsewhere."
"There are several levels of module so a company can upgrade if necessary."
"The most valuable feature is the vertical scaling of the application infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the SSL upload."
"The solution itself is perfect. It's easy to configure and we haven't had any initial issues with the hardware or power supply."
"The user interface is not as pretty as it could be."
"The costs can be quite high."
"They need to make the user interface (GUI) a bit more usable and intuitive. Some features can be a little difficult to find at times. Sometimes, the workflow in the GUI doesn't match the workflow of an actual workflow. E.g., if I want to create a load balancer application, sometimes you've got to do things a bit out of order in the GUI in order to make it work right."
"The user interface is what people complain about most of the time, particularly if they don't use it very often. Then they complain that it's a bit clunky."
"In my opinion, they need to improve their cloud support. There is support for cloud, but not all functions are there, such as high-availability."
"The setup depends on certain situations. In certain scenarios, it may be more complex than others. For example, while the initial configuration may be easy, the environment itself may be complex and that may limit the ease of deployment. It is easy for those who understand their environment."
"A graphical dashboard for analyzing performance is needed."
"There are competitors that have more features."
"The initial setup is complex but it is manageable."
"The pricing for this solution should be reduced so that it can be more competitive."
"It's hard to scale down the solution. You need to buy another product in order to do this."
"It's unfortunate that the network firewall isn't really a next generation firewall."
