Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."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."
"From a technical perspective, it is the most scalable device from Fortinet."
"Content caching and content compression are 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."
"Ease of use in deploying and having it up and running requires minimal knowledge."
"Simple to use and easy to integrate."
"Key features include SSL Offloading, VM availability, and L7 load balancing."
"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."
"Since we are using this tool for protection purposes we really appreciate the hybrid security abilities; the main idea here is that we powerful protection our application needs."
"Fortinet has some drawbacks, and it can be a bit challenging to scale."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"I think it would be helpful if Fortinet put more video examples on their cookbook site."
"The L7 Persistent load-balancing algorithm has not worked for me after having tested it many times with my customer's in-house application. I'd like to suggest that the company make sure that all load-balancing algorithms work properly with most applications, even those that are in-house apps."
"The solution's WAF needs an upgrade because it is not as good as FortiWeb, VMware, F5, or Imperva."
"The solution should improve finding false positives and false negatives. There are a lot of false positives."
"The user interface could be more friendly and CLI could be more like that of Fortigate."
"It would be good if they built in a fully functional web application firewall."
"There is a need for expanded licensing terms and options. There's also a need for improved and more agile customization features. The user needs to be able to manage each policy as required; the functionality needs to empower the user. There should be a complete suite of desktop provider policies available to users. Overall, it needs to be more user-friendly."
