"The price is very good, and it's not very expensive."
"Barracuda's technical support is good - whenever we have an issue, they immediately connect and resolve it."
"The product has flexible and interesting licensing options."
"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."
"The solution provides high-level services such as availability, redundancy, and load balancing between servers."
"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 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."
"Fortinet FortiADC should include an advanced-level SD-WAN."
"The product’s price could be reduced. Also, some of its features need to be more advanced."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"Fortinet has some drawbacks, and it can be a bit challenging to scale."
"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."
