"Fortinet FortiADC is a good product because each and every piece of content is monitored by it."
"TSL and SSL offloading are both very good features."

"The SSL Layer 7 load balancing is valuable."

"The product’s price could be reduced. Also, some of its features need to be more advanced."

"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."
"It would be good if they built in a fully functional web application firewall."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"Possibly a more graphical overview page (with colors) to give a two second overview to see if everything is working fine."

"I'd like to see scalability improved; it can be costly."
"There are many features you can set in the backend of Loadbalancer. They should simplify the configuration. The administrator should be able to configure it more simply. How it is now, you can only configure it if you have a lot of experience."
"It doesn't have the bonding capability feature."
