Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."Good application firewall."
"We like is how they integrate nicely with the Oracle PeopleSoft application."
"In my team, we work in a very agile environment and the solutions from BIG-IP, including BIG-IP WAF, suit us well when developing and serving our applications."
"The product is very stable. We put a decent amount of stress on it given our load."
"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."
"Users can see a remarkable performance difference from a qualitative sense."
"We are using Application Security Manager (ASM) as a web application firewall, where there is a security signature to avoid a web level breach."
"The solution has good load balancing capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the virtual VPN concentrator."
"In the Philippines, VPN usage may not be widely known, but we leverage VPN effectively within my organization. I've shared our in-house systems with other district offices, as I cover fifteen municipalities and cater to the entire province. This platform is a valuable tool for us, enabling collaborative work, and allowing us to update our services remotely."
"The SpeedFusion feature is the most valuable."
"Our customers find it to be an interesting and tempting solution."
"The SpeedFusion feature is good. It allowed us to move away from IPsec between the sites. It is also a really easy product to deploy."
"It is a very stable product."
"The valuable feature is that, after reading about its capabilities and using it for a while, Peplink SpeedFusion employs eight technologies within its SD-WAN profile, addressing issues like packet loss and latency. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support team gives quick response and efficient local support."
"Native support for containers should be added to future releases, as this is the future of load balancing."
"There are not very many areas for improvement, but the price is high."
"Technical support is somewhat slow and could be improved."
"To improve the product, they could add more load balancing solutions in Kubernetes."
"The user experience for dashboards and reports can be improved. They should make dashboards and the reporting system easier for users. They need to add more reports to the dashboard. Currently, for complicated reports, I have to do the customization. It should have more integration with network firewalls to be able to gather all the information required for traffic management."
"It requires a particular skill or training before being able to manage it."
"I think the logging could be improved."
"The analytics should provide insight into latency across various traffic routes and virtual servers."
"They don't have next generation firewall, UTM, like the other competitors."
"There is room for improvement in enhancing security features, such as incorporating intrusion detection blocking capabilities and integrating artificial intelligence to bolster security aspects on the device."
"The product needs to aggregate the bandwidth of different ISPs. It needs to improve scalability as well."
"Its pricing is the main issue. The pricing could be improved. I would like to see an outbound policy based on the application. It is a very good feature, and most of the customers are looking for that. They can also include stronger firewall features. This would help the customers in choosing this product as the only device for the SD network."
"Their hardware support isn't the greatest. We've had one unit go down, and it took a while for them to replace it. It was in the Caribbeans, so it might be a location-related issue."
"I believe there could be some enhancements in the enterprise segment, offering greater options or something similar."
"The stability has room for improvement."
