Find out in this report how the two Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 solution provides high-level services such as availability, redundancy, and load balancing between servers."
"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."
"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."
"The product has flexible and interesting licensing options."
"Ease of use in deploying and having it up and running requires minimal knowledge."
"The user interface precludes need to be well versed with Linux IPVS command line. This make it easy for junior team members to participate in managing load balancing needs."
"The performance is good."
"I found scalability in Loadbalancer.org valuable."
"With basic network knowledge, our required system functionality can be configured and maintained."
"Most important for us that it makes sure that the load is distributed and that we always have access to the end servers."
"The load balancers have an easy installation and a relatively simple, easy user interface to use."
"It does what it’s supposed to do which is balancing an important intranet site we are using, so if one server dies, the second becomes active straight away."
"For now, it's stable."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Setup could be easier. The company's homework is to redesign those menus to configure with the smallest number of steps."
"Fortinet FortiADC should include an advanced-level SD-WAN."
"Technical support and documentation could both be improved."
"Because it is so generic, the documentation requires special attention. A person who has not worked on Fortinet FortiADC or a similar product will struggle to understand what the document is trying to say. The documentation could be more specific, and more detailed."
"Issues with SSL and encrypted traffic."
"It would be good if they built in a fully functional web application firewall."
"The configuration is relatively complex."
"The automatic refresh of the System Overview webpage: It sometimes has an extra webpage reload (after a change) before you see it is executed. This can be confusing."
"It would be great if there was a way to gain access to the graphing data, to create custom reports. If we had a way to use the graphing data, we could use it to present certain information to our client, such as the uptime status for their service."
"Possibly a more graphical overview page (with colors) to give a two second overview to see if everything is working fine."
"You can run into an issue when one engineer passes the case over to another engineer after their shift and they don't know what the first engineer worked on up to that point."
"The configuration is somewhat complicated. Someone who does not know the solution may find this challenging."
"I would like a notification when a new version of the software is available. They told me to sign up for their newsletter, but I have not received any notification for a newer software version."
"The configuration is somewhat complicated. Someone who does not know the solution may find this challenging."
"I would like it if Loadbalancer had the ability to make rules for specific shared bots."
