Patch automation has boosted compliance and saves hours in global server maintenance
The best features that Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC) offers include its ability to help make us compliant at 95%, which is a big win if you are able to comply with 95% of devices, and it is also helpful for providing exact error codes, allowing us to troubleshoot accordingly. The features of Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC) impact my daily workflow by saving time and helping in troubleshooting as well. Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC) is very helpful, and I have nothing else to add about its features. Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC) has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to comply with all the servers with security patches, which include many bug fixes and do so in no time. With Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC), we are able to patch servers faster than we used to do via SCCM, and we save at least two to three hours in our global patching.

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) 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."
"It does what it’s supposed to do which is balancing an important intranet site we are using, so if one server dies, the second becomes active straight away."
"I would say, go for it; it has proved to be a pretty reliable system, it hasn't let us down."
"The load balancers have an easy installation and a relatively simple, easy user interface to use, which is valuable because it is not the core business of our engineers to configure network devices."
"Loadbalancer.org is less complex than Citrix."
"It actually makes our whole network more reliable, because of its load balancing capabilities and redundancy."
"Most important for us that it makes sure that the load is distributed and that we always have access to the end servers."
"The user interface precludes need to be well versed with Linux IPVS command line. This make it easy for junior team members to participate in managing load balancing needs."
"My advice to others considering this product is that they will experience a very good, stable product which is very easy to set up."
 

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."
"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."
"Documentation needs improvement because having information is essential for working with advanced configurations."
"I'd like to see scalability improved; it can be costly."
"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."
"They're mostly designed to balance a particular type of traffic. I wanted to load balance DNS, and they just don't do it the way that we wanted to. So they're not used as DNS load balancers."
"It's worth the cost. It's not cheap, but it's a good solution."
"The solution can be a bit pricey."
"An area for improvement in Loadbalancer.org is that sometimes it works fine, but sometimes, it has issues. The setup for Loadbalancer.org is also complex, so that's another area for improvement."
"The configuration is somewhat complicated. Someone who does not know the solution may find this challenging."
