Simple to use and easy to integrate; we had issues with SSL and encrypted traffic
Pros and Cons
  • "Simple to use and easy to integrate."
  • "Issues with SSL and encrypted traffic."

What is most valuable?

I like all the products in the Fortinet family, they are simple to use and you can integrate a virtual server in a couple of minutes. If you have the topology, if you have the network, you can make a virtual server batch in a couple of minutes. It uses the same FortiOS regardless of the product. 

What needs improvement?

The product needs more development because it has issues with SSL traffic and encrypted traffic. It's been a little while since I used it and maybe things have improved but with Fortinet you can use a lot of features near the load balancing mechanism.

Fortinet decided to cut the product into two pieces, because FortiWeb has a lot of security features, but FortiADC has a load balancing mechanism. Customers need a fast solution with a load balancing solution and a web application firewall. If you are using FortiWeb, you can use FortiGuard Intelligence Service. But in the FortiADC, it has more load balancing features, but it lacks security features. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I used this solution for one year. 

What other advice do I have?

In comparison to its competitors, I rate this solution a five out of 10.
