Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."The most valuable feature is the SSL upload."
"The most valuable feature is the vertical scaling of the application infrastructure."
"There are several levels of module so a company can upgrade if necessary."
"The solution itself is perfect. It's easy to configure and we haven't had any initial issues with the hardware or power supply."
"Ease of use in deploying and having it up and running requires minimal knowledge."
"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."
"I like the solution's load balance with DNS intelligence."
"Fortinet FortiADC is a good product because each and every piece of content is monitored by it."
"It's a good product because it supports all the features that ADC solutions in the market can support, like F5 solutions, for example, such as the LTM of F5."
"Because ADC is the intermediary between the servers and the end-user application, it gives thorough information about the traffic, what the problem is."
"TSL and SSL offloading are both very good features."
"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."
"It's hard to scale down the solution. You need to buy another product in order to do this."
"The pricing for this solution should be reduced so that it can be more competitive."
"The initial setup is complex but it is manageable."
"It's unfortunate that the network firewall isn't really a next generation firewall."
"I think it would be helpful if Fortinet put more video examples on their cookbook site."
"Technical support and documentation could both be improved."
"FortiADC is complex to configure so the interface should be improved."
"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."
"The product’s price could be reduced. Also, some of its features need to be more advanced."
"The solution should improve finding false positives and false negatives. There are a lot of false positives."
"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's WAF needs an upgrade because it is not as good as FortiWeb, VMware, F5, or Imperva."
