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."Because ADC is the intermediary between the servers and the end-user application, it gives thorough information about the traffic, what the problem is."
"The most valuable feature is the SSL offloading capacity."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiADC is a good product because each and every piece of content is monitored by it."
"Ease of use in deploying and having it up and running requires minimal knowledge."
"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."
"The main feature that we use is GSLB (Global Server Load Balancing). GSLB makes the customer's network more reliable by scaling applications across multiple datacenters. GSLB as a disaster recovery solution can direct traffic based on site availability."
"his solution allows me to secure applications, by blocking suspicious traffic based on the signature that has been enabled for that particular application."
"The solution has been very stable."
"Security is one of the most valuable features that I like. It is easy to use and easy to configure."
"The interface is easy, it's friendly, and has good alerting."
"The best part is that we are able to manage it easily. It is easy to manage and easy to integrate with third-party applications."
"I like the concept of self-service, that I can do everything on my own."
"The most valuable aspect is that it establishes user security."
"The device blocks threats and allows legitimate users to work correctly."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"There is a mismatch between the number of features they are offering and the device capacity on how much it can handle."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiADC should include an advanced-level SD-WAN."
"The solution should improve finding false positives and false negatives. There are a lot of false positives."
"The product’s price could be reduced. Also, some of its features need to be more advanced."
"The product's stability for VMs could be better."
"Issues with SSL and encrypted traffic."
"We recently had a problem with the tables Obsolete ARP which was observed by the support team. It would be good to diagnose and solve this problem with a patch since it is not documented that it will be solved in later updates."
"Scalability should be based on customer requirements."
"It can be improved by combining the web application firewall (WAF) facility."
"The service could be improved by better customer support."
"Radware Alteon could improve the troubleshooting from the command line interface, they could do a better job making it easier."
"I would like this solution to have an integration tool that will convert configuration from other software, into readable values for this product during implementation."
"We are in the process of updating our version of the solution, so judging what should be improved is difficult. But in some cases, the visualization takes a while, especially for mapping issues."
"Performance could be improved."
