Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."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 solution provides high-level services such as availability, redundancy, and load balancing between servers."
"I like the solution's load balance with DNS intelligence."
"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."
"From a technical perspective, it is the most scalable device from Fortinet."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the SSL offloading capacity."
"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."
"The three most valuable features that I noticed are the geo-localization of the user, the IP reputation, and the compartmental analysis."
"I think it would be helpful if Fortinet put more video examples on their cookbook site."
"The solution should improve finding false positives and false negatives. There are a lot of false positives."
"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 user interface could be more friendly and CLI could be more like that of Fortigate."
"There is a mismatch between the number of features they are offering and the device capacity on how much it can handle."
"Technical support and documentation could both be improved."
"Fortinet has some drawbacks, and it can be a bit challenging to scale."
"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 area that should be improved is licensing."
