Sometimes, there are multiple ADC components running at the same time which causes problems relating to the load balance in traffic leading to the matrices being pushed back towards the harmony site. This is an area for improvement that I have seen. It's not like AWS or Azure. The documentation is pretty much closed and I think A10 crashes sometimes because initially, I was not able to set up lighting ADC. Eventually, I figured it out myself. The problem was that there was a mismatch with the docker version, that's why they were not communicating with each other — lightning ADC and Harmony. A10 documentation is not as open and accessible as AWS and Azure documentation is. For a beginner, it takes a bit of time to get used to it. The ADC devices that I have seen so far, seem to follow in the direction of an iOS. It's pretty much an operating system — you have to perform your own configurations depending upon the use cases that you want to use it for. Kubernetes is different from Lightning in this sense.

What is an application delivery controller (ADC)? An application delivery controller (ADC) is a network component that is primarily used to optimize and manage traffic flow as well as client connections to both web and application servers. ADCs also help with application acceleration and assist with application security. They are typically housed in a data center and their capabilities can be implemented using a hardware or software device. Because they can be installed via hardware or...
There is room for improvement in the customer service and support team. The support from A10 should be improved.
We would like to see some improvement in the rapidity with which we can customize security facts within the solution.
