"From a technical perspective, it is the most scalable device from Fortinet."
"Ease of use in deploying and having it up and running requires minimal knowledge."
"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."
"The GSLB, the DR side, is the best part. Because we had our main side in one city, we created another, and we had a complete MPLS over the internet. We used the GSLB and data loss for our business applications."
"Simple to use and easy to integrate."
"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."
"Content caching and content compression are good features."
"Since we are using this tool for protection purposes we really appreciate the hybrid security abilities; the main idea here is that we powerful protection our application needs."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"FortiADC is complex to configure so the interface should be improved."
"The configuration is relatively complex."
"It would be good if they built in a fully functional web application firewall."
"There is a mismatch between the number of features they are offering and the device capacity on how much it can handle."
"There is a need for expanded licensing terms and options. There's also a need for improved and more agile customization features. The user needs to be able to manage each policy as required; the functionality needs to empower the user. There should be a complete suite of desktop provider policies available to users. Overall, it needs to be more user-friendly."
