Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."There is a lot of documentation available."
"The most valuable feature is the F5 LTM (Local Traffic Manager). This is the part of the product most organisations will be using most. It provides the core functionality to be able to load balance services and the means and the intelligence to be able to load balance based on advanced logic, e.g., TCL scripting."
"We always use technical support and the team helps us very well. They're able to effectively find and fix issues and they respond very quickly."
"Initial setup is easy and pretty standard."
"It is a scalable solution."
"NetFlow balancing and traffic balancing are good features."
"It is a stable product from a stable company. Recently, they have been more focused on security as well."
"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."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution's instant reports feature is the most effective for detecting threats."
"The solution is stable."
"The most effective feature of the product is the ability to scan the entire environment."
"The most valuable features of Tenable.io Web Application Scanning are the integration into specific use cases and scanning. All of the features of the solution are useful."
"We can get detailed information about vulnerabilities."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is very easy to use."
"It collects the vulnerabilities on the hostnames and sends them to the Tenable.io cloud. Tenable has its own cloud where Tenable.io is running, but there are many connectors to other cloud solutions. Tenable can do vulnerability scanning for other cloud managers such as Azure, Amazon, and so on."
"Logging is a bit of a problem. Logging and monitoring are only in plain text. You have to search and you have to know what you are searching for to find anything. So of course, monitoring and getting alerts for abnormal situations is hard. There are no tools for monitoring and alerts"
"This is a very expensive solution."
"I would like F5 to incorporate the ability to create your own custom roles and customised permissions within the product set. I have seen many customers wanting to give a certain level of access for the purposes of out-of-hours servicing to out-of-hours staff or teams that fulfill an operations type role."
"I'm not very sure about the security with F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM). We have our own private data center, but we are going to migrate our private data center into the Azure cloud environment. Security will then be a major concern when we migrate our own whole infrastructure to the public cloud."
"In terms of pricing, it could be more competitive."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"F5 could improve the rule-setting capabilities in the GUI, and they need to simplify web management. For example, the menus in the Citrix GUI are easier to navigate, with a clean structure and layout."
"LTM's cloud capabilities could be improved. Cloud providers all offer load balancing, but you can't get the same level of security. F5's cloud service is still not on par with its on-prem service."
"It would be great if there were a dashboard that is more user-friendly."
"The report customization needs to be better."
"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 reporting has a very limited customization capability."
"The dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning could improve by offering faster fuzzing."
"The cloud and the on-premises versions have their own controllers, and there is no way to centrally manage controllers."
"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."
