I do recommend A10 Networks Thunder ADC. It's very user-friendly, easy to configure, and flexible. It is a very useful solution - especially now, when a lot of employees are working remotely. I have been using the solution for approximately four years.


ADC is excellent for desktop virtualization and application delivery. We are able to deploy applications without uploading them to the cloud. Instead, everything is hosted and processed in the data center. Rather than updating software on all our users laptops, we just do it once in the data center and everybody uses that same version. Because the maintenance is all happening at the data center, there is a lot more control and a lot less complications.


With ADC, you do not have to worry about securing the data, since everything is stored in the data center and not exported to other users' machines. Since the processing is not all done locally, ADC is a very lightweight client that just handles the feed on your laptop.


Another thing that we like is that only certain people get access to certain applications. Users only access the applications they need. It is really easy to set up groups based upon Active Directory and then define who gets access to each application.


ADC is stable - I have not experienced any ongoing bugs or glitches.


Here is a list of A10 Networks Thunder ADC benefits:



  • Easy setup: The initial setup of ADC is straightforward and very user-friendly. It is easy to deploy and customize.

  • Central control: All operations and data are handled in one central location, ensuring all users have access to the same version of the application.


  • User-friendly: ADC is flexible and easy to use and configure.




  • Secure: ADC enhances security, since all information is kept in the data center and not downloaded by the users.


  • User control: With ADC, It is easy to create groups and access levels. Users can only access applications they have permissions for.


  • Customer support: ADC has very professional and knowledgeable support staff that are always happy to guide us through various setups and tasks.




  • Stability: ADC is reliable and has a low failure rate.


  • Lightweight: The ADC client is lightweight since it does not handle any processing. All processing is done in the data center.



Room for improvement


A10 Networks Thunder ADC is a reliable and high performing product. However, there are a few improvements I would be happy to see in the next release, such as:



  • A slightly better two-factor authentication: While ADC does have a two-factor authentication feature, it could be a bit more robust.



  • ADC’s user interface needs some enhancements.

  • ADC could use better integration options.

Overall, I would rate A10 Networks Thunder ADC an eight out of ten. We find its various features very useful and are very happy with its ease-of-use and flexibility.
