I recommend Fortinet FortiADC. My experience with Fortinet has been very positive. Our company has been using it for around five years. We mainly use FortiADC for the load balancing of application traffic for our customers. It equally balances large volumes of traffic between any number of servers.
FortiADC constantly seems to be coming up with some new machine-learning based innovative features. For example, FortiADC offers a load balancer with DNS intelligence. We also like its content caching and content compression, SSL offloading capacity, and its firewall. FortiADC provides a great secure layer when it comes to SD-WAN and has other security capabilities such as firewalls.
During peak load balancing times, FortiADC sends logs to FortiAnalyzer, where they undergo an automated SOAR. Whenever FortiADC detects an attack, it will automatically trigger an alert on the service ticket and send it to the appropriate recipient.
Another reason to use FortiADC is its simplicity. Once it is set up, it’s very easy to manage.
FortiADC offers many models for a multitude of environments. Using FortiADC, It is possible to easily integrate a virtual server in a couple of minutes.
Below is a list of features and benefits that FortiADC provides its users with:
Load balancing: FortiADC provides load balancers for application traffic, equally balancing traffic between multiple servers. FortiADC can run different load balancing algorithms based on user configuration.
Efficient storage: FortiADC provides content caching and content compression.
Stability: Once FortiADC is implemented, the risk of overloading a web server, rendering it unresponsive, is eliminated - preventing potential monetary and reputation losses.
Attack prevention: FortiADC monitors balancing traffic. Logs are sent for analysis and an automated SOAR, security orchestration and automation for the incident response. If an attack is detected, an alert is automatically triggered and sent to the appropriate team.
Security: FortiADC has an inbuilt firewall as well as a web application firewall feature.
Virtual server integration: FortiADC allows users to easily create a virtual server batch on the network.
Scalable: FortiADC offers different appliances to cover low performance, medium performance, and big-box data that supports large capacities.
User friendly: FortiADC is very easy to manage and easy to configure.
FortiADC does have a couple of drawbacks:
The technical support needs to respond more quickly. Often the response time can be within a day or two after opening a ticket. In addition, it would be helpful if FortiADC would provide good technical documentation. I would find it helpful to have step-by-step directions on how to configure some of the FortiADC features.
The WAP functionality is outdated.
Overall, FortiADC is a reliable and secure product. I rate it an eight out of ten. It does what we need it to do, and I would recommend it to other users.
