A10 Networks Lightning ADC Reviews

We sell a couple of boxes to Comodo Federal and Bank of Brazil, which are the biggest banks here in Brazil. They also have a F5 tool.

The best one is the load balance application with the security part. It allows you to secure the application while balancing the connections for many other customers, reducing CPU usage and server load.

It helps avoid overloading the server with too many applications.

There is room for improvement in the customer service and support team. 

The support from A10 should be improved. 

I have been working with this solution for more than five years. 

The stability of the solution is okay. 

It is a scalable solution. We can expand it as much as you want by purchasing additional licenses. 

For the other components, I buy the boxes individually, depending on the required capacity. For example, I purchase one box for ten-gigabit ports, another for forty-gigabit ports, and so on.

Sometimes we face issues with stability. And when something goes wrong, I contact support, and sometimes they say, "Oh, the new version doesn't have that feature anymore. We removed it from the manual." It's frustrating when they remove important features like full encryption.

The initial setup is simple; it is not complex. 

The configuration itself is simple and can be done in a couple of hours. However, the migration of the system to A10 Networks takes longer due to critical applications. Clients prefer to move them one by one, which is why it takes a significant amount of time. The configuration itself is simple, especially for this application.

For this product, we usually involve two engineers because there are numerous boxes, more than 20.

I would rate the licensing model five out of ten. It's neither too expensive nor too cheap. So it's somewhere in the middle.

I would rate it an eight. It has performed well in most areas and meets our requirements effectively.
