Something that sets this solution apart from other products is that the hardware has a much higher capacity than other vendors. That's the edge of Array Networks. Their technical support services are also very good."

"The stability is excellent."
"BIG-IP LTM's most valuable feature is that it allows you to seamlessly add more servers without impacting your application's configuration."

"Great load balancing."
"It has made it a single entry point for all users, verging across all the VPCs. It is more of an SSO solution versus multitier user loggin."
"The v11 clustering is a new technology they have brought in that does not require improvement. They are the leader in it."
"Bandwidth optimization and capacity awareness of the bandwidth are valuable features. Its video streaming capabilities are also very useful."
"I would like to see more granular reporting and monitoring features, and I believe our clients want to see them as well. Also, SD-WAN would be a good addition."

"Bugs are the part of program and they are fixed with every release, as with any vendor."
"They could improve the product's ease of use. There is some confusion how to operate it."
"Internet and cloud support could be improved."
