Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."Key features include SSL Offloading, VM availability, and L7 load balancing."
"The solution provides high-level services such as availability, redundancy, and load balancing between servers."
"From a technical perspective, it is the most scalable device from Fortinet."
"Simple to use and easy to integrate."
"The product has flexible and interesting licensing options."
"The user interface is very easy and integrates with Sandbox easily."
"Content caching and content compression are good features."
"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."
"Real-time monitoring is also a great tool, as you may watch several parameters in real time."
"It is an effective threat mitigation tool."
"The most valuable features are DDoS protection."
"It is a stable solution."
"Setup was straightforward, very simple. I only entered the domain and Incapsula returned the DNS data that I needed to change for the protection to be configured."
"They're quite easy to install and quite easy to set up. Clients really like that. Especially when you're dealing with the cloud, it's really easy."
"There is no need to have an appliance in house for the services because it is on the cloud."
"We use Imperva DDoS to stop DDoS attacks and reduce the amount of unwanted queries against web services or web scraping."
"The solution's WAF needs an upgrade because it is not as good as FortiWeb, VMware, F5, or Imperva."
"The product’s price could be reduced. Also, some of its features need to be more advanced."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The configuration is relatively complex."
"Setup could be easier. The company's homework is to redesign those menus to configure with the smallest number of steps."
"The user interface could be more friendly and CLI could be more like that of Fortigate."
"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."
"It needs to be improved every time there are new attacks."
"Imperva DDoS does not provide version control."
"Some maintenance must be performed by our IT team."
"Users would benefit from better documentation. There is official documentation, but sometimes we need more detail. We have some use cases that are not so run of the mill. It would be great if there was a knowledge base that we could go to for more answers."
"Incapsula services also provides load balancing services for their service IP address environment. So far, with monitoring their services, the IP address was only changed once."
"Imperva should have more points of presence in Africa."
"It would be better if we were able to manage and apply changes to multiple websites/web applications, and search WAF logs for multiple websites, via the Incapsula dashboard."
"The cost could be lower; our end clients need to have a high budget to purchase this solution."
