Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."The combination of ADC and WAN is good."
"The scalability of the solution depends on the sizing of the network. Generally, the scalability is quite good."
"F5 BIG-IP is used with good applications and functions as an application firewall with additional features. We will not use any feature or any service unless there is a business case and there is a need for implementation."
"It offers features Kemp doesn't provide. For example, there are predefined templates for handling Office 365. You can download them for automatic configuration."
"It is a fast and available solution."
"The most valuable features are DNS, APM, and ASM. Additionally, it is easy to use and you have a lot of flexibility to use the solution within a network."
"It is an easy way to build application policies (graphical)."
"Secure and scalable traffic management solution for applications. Good for bigger environments."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."
"Initial setup is tricky, if you do not understand the design of this product."
"It reaches a point where scaling is no longer possible."
"F5 has another solution to load balance servers on the cloud, which they got after the purchase of NGINX. It is deployed as Kubernetes or something like that, but the problem now is that they have two solutions for two situations. They should make F5 deployable on the cloud."
"There are not very many areas for improvement, but the price is high."
"Security enhancement should be more user friendly."
"An expensive solution for the minimal features we use."
"BIG-IP LTM is taking a long time to mature in cloud environments. They plan to improve cloud integration in the next version, but it isn't out yet. It's essential because more companies are moving to the cloud these days and using things like Kubernetes or microservices. F5 needs to improve in that direction, and they are."
"Technical support could be improved."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else."
