Inherited deployment tool has required clunky iPad rollouts but has automated remote updates
I do appreciate the best features that Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC) offers. One feature that stands out to me as useful is that it applies some application firewall for security, which I found valuable. Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC) has impacted my organization positively as it is more of a necessity, not just because we do have all of our iPads in Ivanti MDM, but to be able to deploy properly. It certainly does save time and resources compared to doing things manually because 90% of our mobile devices are all remote and in the field, and our endpoint users are technically challenged; therefore, trying to get anyone to update or be able to do anything actually on their iPad outside of using an application would be near impossible.

High availability and strong security have supported our apps but advanced traffic control still improves
LoadBalancer Enterprise can be improved because the layer seven programmability is not as powerful as it could be. We cannot write code and programming on it. Additionally, access management and identity options are not available here like they are in F5 VPN. The WAF depth and analytics, such as in-depth logs and the WAF learning option that we have in other load balancers, are much easier to configure and to harden the policies and polish them. That option is not here. Fine-tuning is a bit difficult compared to other solutions. The automation and API maturity does not appear to be at the level of other load balancers. The main limitation is that there is nothing here with regards to F5 APM. There is no iRules option or policy option to manipulate the traffic according to requirements, which is a bit difficult. If an organization is basic and does not want very advanced features, then it is acceptable. However, if advanced features such as iRules are required, and complete detailed WAF monitoring is desired along with policies that can be learned and then implemented afterwards as you have in F5, then LoadBalancer Enterprise lacks these capabilities.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The strict security features of Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC) stand out for me because essentially, you can have the hashing of all the programs that you can launch, the signature to check, the very deep analysis of the project, and the very deep log that helps you develop and analyze security."
"Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC) has impacted my organization positively as it is more of a necessity, not just because we do have all of our iPads in Ivanti MDM, but to be able to deploy properly."
"Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC) is a very good tool that companies should use, as it is very reliable, very fast, and allows you more time to work on other cases because Ivanti handles everything smoothly."
"I would say, go for it; it has proved to be a pretty reliable system, it hasn't let us down."
"The performance is good."
"Now, we achieve about 99% availability across all servers thanks to the health check feature in the load balancer."
"With basic network knowledge, our required system functionality can be configured and maintained.​"
"We can more easily set up a test environment, because you can easily configure your forms. It makes it more flexible for us, to convert our test environment to a production environment, without having to change DNSs on the outside. You just configure the forms on the inside. So without changing the actual endpoint for the end user, we can create completely different networks in the background."
"My advice to others considering this product is that they will experience a very good, stable product which is very easy to set up."
"It helps us to route the traffic to the available servers. If we didn't have Loadbalancer we would fail to set the end-user and it would cause a failure in the cluster."
"From a customer point of view, they have what I would call an unbreakable service."
 

Cons

"To improve Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC), I would suggest integrating something to fix the registry of a server, as including any steps that fix the registry or any DLL files causing issues where patches did not install properly would be beneficial."
"Customer support for Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC) has been very lacking, which is one of my biggest issues because we have had not great experiences with their customer support over time."
"I chose eight out of ten for Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC) because from the point of view of the configuration, it took so much time on the security side to configure."
"We could enhance the security aspects of the load balancer."
"The configuration is somewhat complicated. Someone who does not know the solution may find this challenging."
"​I would like a notification when a new version of the software is available. They told me to sign up for their newsletter, but I have not received any notification for a newer software version.​"
"We have had one or two small crashes on them, nothing major, but I guess that would be the only thing stopping it from being a 10."
"It doesn't have the bonding capability feature."
"You can run into an issue when one engineer passes the case over to another engineer after their shift and they don't know what the first engineer worked on up to that point."
"The customer support for LoadBalancer Enterprise is good; however, it could be better. They need to improve their customer service and response time."
"I would like it if Loadbalancer had the ability to make rules for specific shared bots."

"It was easy to upgrade the license for unlimited clusters and servers. Pricing is fair."
"They're not the cheapest, not the most expensive, but I think value-wise, they're 100%."
"For now, it's stable."
"It filled a requirement for our project, and it did so at lesser cost than their competitors.​"
"It is inexpensive, and even their “unlimited” version, the VA MAX is still far cheaper than competitors."
"Licensing fees are paid annually."
