Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."Content caching and content compression are good features."
"TSL and SSL offloading are both very good features."
"The most valuable feature is the SSL offloading capacity."
"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 product has flexible and interesting licensing options."
"The solution provides high-level services such as availability, redundancy, and load balancing between servers."
"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 user interface is very easy and integrates with Sandbox easily."
"The complete solution is valuable for everything it delivers and the protection it offers."
"There are quite a few useful Imperva Incapsula features. For example, one of them is the reports. The graphics are very good and it's easy to configure. The whole process is very fast and reliable too. They have good tech support as well."
"The solution is very good at intercepting traffic before it gets to our data centers."
"It is an effective threat mitigation tool."
"Simplifies putting everything in code."
"It's very pretty easy to onboard the URL."
"The dashboard is good and user-friendly."
"Technical support provides good, quick responses."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"There is a mismatch between the number of features they are offering and the device capacity on how much it can handle."
"The solution should improve finding false positives and false negatives. There are a lot of false positives."
"I think it would be helpful if Fortinet put more video examples on their cookbook site."
"The solution's WAF needs an upgrade because it is not as good as FortiWeb, VMware, F5, or Imperva."
"Technical support and documentation could both 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."
"Fortinet has some drawbacks, and it can be a bit challenging to scale."
"The product could use a broader scope in the area of policies."
"There’s nothing that’s missing in terms of features."
"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."
"I am not sure if this application has a policy where you can create your custom policy and run it as our firewall. We should have some ability to also create some custom policy, then run it as a firewall."
"I miss being able to integrate the dashboard with other BI tools we are using. We have to export and import data to be able to present it, and doing so is a lot of work."
"The solution should integrate with something that looks at continuous security management."
"The cost could be lower; our end clients need to have a high budget to purchase this solution."
"Imperva should have more points of presence in Africa."
