The product has been extremely great to use. Its Application Delivery Controller along with SSL offloading is great and and its very easy to scale. The AXAPI feature has helped us integrate with CICD. which has been very helpful during patching of real servers.

Devices have proved to be reliable and perform well. API and documentation is complete but difficult to navigate and not without bugs.

A10 Thunder ADC Likes & Dislikes

Like

Server Load Balancing, SSL Offloading, Aflex scripting & Client SSL with Server Name Regex

Like

Devices are reliable and performant. Once configured they have proved to be workhorses that handle all the traffic we can throw at them. A10 offers virtual appliances running their OS that provides a path to running without requiring proprietary boxes to be racked.

Like

A10 ADC offers high performance, superior scalability (multiple form factors are available) out of the box and security features while you can also add Fastly WAF as a subscription on top.

Dislike

With the current usage, I haven't come across any issues.

Dislike

The management API is comprehensive but poorly documented and contains some bugs. Client libraries are provided for only a narrow range of programming environments. Support is slow to answer questions about integrating with the API and doesn't always provide correct answers to queries about details of its operation.

Dislike

The UI is less attractive compared to the competitors however management and operations are pretty straightforward.
