Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."One of the greatest things about F5 Load Balancer is that it provides additional capability for handling huge workloads and routing them to an SAP or non-SAP application. It is capable of supporting a large amount of user workload and application connectivity workload. This was the main reason why we chose F5."
"Routing and load balancing are its most valuable features."
"The solution is easy to install. It's a straightforward process."
"One of the best features of the solution is the operating system."
"BIG-IP can do anything. It's like a Swiss Army knife."
"Along with load balancing, we perform a lot of packet inspections, URL rewriting, and SSL interceptions via iRule."
"The F5 interface is easy to use."
"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 most valuable feature is the reporting, which provides a good level of detail with respect to vulnerabilities."
"It is fully automated."
"Tenable provides the end analysis results covering all the published vulnerabilities and information on the market."
"The solution's instant reports feature is the most effective for detecting threats."
"Our customers adopt this solution because of the replication testing and the vulnerability assessment it can do. It is a multi-faceted product."
"We use the tool for our websites. We have a vulnerable subdomain. The tool helps to scan it for vulnerabilities."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"We can get detailed information about vulnerabilities."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"The pricing model has caused some frustration. My clients implemented the solution and later wanted to upgrade the features but the pricing structure was complicated. There are other solutions with better pricing models."
"To improve the product, they could add more load balancing solutions in Kubernetes."
"Based on my experience using F5 and by only taking into consideration the last seven years, I have found that the reporting mechanism is bad."

"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is not very user-friendly and you need a lot of information to get proper reports. The tool's support is not very responsive."
"I would like for them to add proxy filtering, where you can transfer and alter the package. It is fully automated. Other web application testers programs are actually proxy software, and the proxy software gives you the flexibility of modifying the outgoing package, which will actually help you in exploiting any vulnerability in detail."
"The dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning conducts a general scan, which wastes time. The scan needs to be specific."
"They have a general dashboard for web application scanning, but the dashboards and reporting can be improved. They probably have some features in their roadmap."
"The cloud and the on-premises versions have their own controllers, and there is no way to centrally manage controllers."
