Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."We have good customer support."
"The work balancing applications are the most valuable feature."
"The advantage of Citrix Web App and API Protection is just its graphic user interface for beginners. The solution is nothing special, but we have to use it for the corporation. Another advantage of Citrix Web App and API Protection is that we have our copy to test things and get the know-how of it."
"Citrix is good for application protection."
"I prefer this solution because of its user-friendly interface. I find it simple and close to what I am currently using, which is Citrix Fortiva Access for Multi-Factor Authentication. I appreciate the familiar user interface and troubleshooting tools it offers."
"The stability is good. If there is a problem, the load will be shifted to other sites automatically, which has been a good experience for us."
"The web application firewall which protects our services on the internet, and then of course services like our ability to provide high availability for the services we are offering are the most valuable features."
"When our primary link goes down I can still get to my Cisco devices and the NetScaler devices on-prem because of the SDN solution. If the internet connection at one of the branches goes down, we can still route them, they still get internet based on the SDN solution through one of the other sites. They can carry on working."
"The user interface is very easy and integrates with Sandbox easily."
"The product has flexible and interesting licensing options."
"From a technical perspective, it is the most scalable device from Fortinet."
"Simple to use and easy to integrate."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the SSL offloading capacity."
"I am impressed with the product's load-balancing feature."
"Key features include SSL Offloading, VM availability, and L7 load balancing."
"The solution's pricing is a big concern and should be improved."
"The user interface could be more friendly. Some wizards and other documentation for administrators, as well as some use cases, helps us to understand the solution."
"The product could be improved by making it easier to use and easier to implement."
"Citrix Web App and API Protection could improve in the area of licensing"
"The setup was not simple."
"The configuration for its web application firewall is complicated."
"Their upgrades are not very backward compatible, and sometimes they mess up."
"Security could be improved because then I can get rid of my Cisco firewalls. If they improve the security then I could run my security, my proxy, my firewalling and my SDN solution on one device instead of having to have multiple devices."
"The configuration is relatively complex."
"Fortinet has some drawbacks, and it can be a bit challenging to scale."
"Technical support and documentation could both be improved."
"I think it would be helpful if Fortinet put more video examples on their cookbook site."
"FortiADC is complex to configure so the interface should be improved."
"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."
"The solution should improve finding false positives and false negatives. There are a lot of false positives."
"Fortinet FortiADC should include an advanced-level SD-WAN."
