We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiADC and Imperva DDoS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."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."
"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 user interface is very easy and integrates with Sandbox easily."
"The product has flexible and interesting licensing options."
"The solution provides high-level services such as availability, redundancy, and load balancing between servers."
"I like the solution's load balance with DNS intelligence."
"TSL and SSL offloading are both very good features."
"Simple to use and easy to integrate."
"Integration with IBM AS/400 and Db2 is okay."
"It's very pretty easy to onboard the URL."
"We have peace of mind that nobody will use malware on us or try to hack our website."
"There is no need to have an appliance in house for the services because it is on the cloud."
"We use Imperva DDoS to stop DDoS attacks and reduce the amount of unwanted queries against web services or web scraping."
"On the site security, I can see which countries have incidents, whether it was a robot attack, a real human user, or non-human user."
"The dashboard is good and user-friendly."
"The complete solution is valuable for everything it delivers and the protection it offers."
"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 product's stability for VMs could be better."
"Fortinet has some drawbacks, and it can be a bit challenging to scale."
"FortiADC is complex to configure so the interface should be improved."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"The solution should improve finding false positives and false negatives. There are a lot of false positives."
"It would be good if they built in a fully functional web application firewall."
"Setup could be easier. The company's homework is to redesign those menus to configure with the smallest number of steps."
"The salespeople tend to exaggerate its capabilities, which can cost you money if you don't verify the information."
"The solution should integrate with something that looks at continuous security management."
"Incapsula services also provides load balancing services for their service IP address environment. So far, with monitoring their services, the IP address was only changed once."
"Imperva always needs to adjust to new versions of cyber attacks, it needs to be faster, improve the resiliency of the software of the solution."
"I would like to have support for SSL management and secure DNS."
"It needs to be improved every time there are new attacks."
"It would be better if we were able to manage and apply changes to multiple websites/web applications, and search WAF logs for multiple websites, via the Incapsula dashboard."
"We had an issue when securing the web applications for DDoS protection."
