"Simple to use and easy to integrate."

"Although FortiADC has multiple features that I like, the global DNS is the most helpful. It is primarily useful for customers with huge environments and at least two data centers.

"The configuration is relatively complex."
"FortiADC is complex to configure so the interface should be improved."
"I had a terrible experience with Fortinet support. I only used support once when I bought the solution. I got no response for two days. However, I believe that it's no longer the case. Fortinet solutions have problems when they're launched. For example, we had issues with Fortinet's authenticator when it came out. We also had trouble with FortiNAC in the beginning."
"Fortinet has some drawbacks, and it can be a bit challenging to scale."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
