Strengths
The vendor´s suite of ADC services is highly integrated with the AWS cloud offering.
Has fostered a large community of developers that are very familiar with its API and suite of functionalities.
Is the fastest-growing major vendor in the market.
Shown an increasing commitment to developing and delivering enterprise-centric features.

Investment in R&D to deliver a technology driven by easiness, performance and security.
ZVNcloud services support hybrid clouds and reach 70,000 HTTP req/sec on public clouds.
Is a complete ADC (Application Delivery Controller) that could manage all kinds of network protocols (UDP, TCP, HTTP/S, SCTP, SIP, T/FTP, …) but also with a combination of all of them simultaneously and multiport capabilities; and it’s not oriented to licensed features.
Its operating system is fully optimized for networking so it is capable to move in layer 7 more than 140 thousand concurrent users and in layer 4 more than 10 million concurrent users with only 2 dedicated cores.
Ability to create configuration backups, easy cluster configuration, automatic replication from one node to another and stateful cluster with real time sessions replications that permits a failover between nodes without losing any connection.

Weaknesses
Cannot fully address ADC for workloads not deployed within the AWS cloud.
Lacks several key Level 7 enterprise features compared to other ADC vendors.
In volatile usage scenarios that entail traffic, customers may need to contact AWS before so that the vendor can prewarm.
Young brand as an open source company and yet to develop a big influence than other more established vendors.
Needs to develop a broader partnership network.
