"F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall, being a new product in the market or comparatively related to a new product, currently supports less number of PoPs. They should introduce more PoPs. The current number of PoPs that they have is around 10 or 12, which is still relatively less as compared to 2,400 plus PoPs that Akamai offers. The user latency or the number of hops a user needs before reaching the actual web application is less in Akamai because it has its internal fabric to route the traffic. They need to spin up more data to increase its traffic handling capability. They can also include the bot detection capability, though it is a pretty advanced functionality. If they could include DataDome like functionality, that is, bot prediction, then F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall will be top-notch in the market."
"The product could be improved on the global load and the integration with the other solution like Cisco and Dell. As a representor of the operation, we prefer to have one platform which can accommodate all type of integration. We are also looking for more improvements in the security policy configuration."
"F5 Silverline Managed Services can improve by reducing the price."
"There is room for improvement in the stability of the solution."
"We'd like more AI to be used. Right now, they don't use it enough."
"In terms of the scalability, this part is always so confusing because they are checking for packet count. Also, after an attack, they said that the throughput must be from gigabits but then I check my bandwidth and it is already done in gigabits. So it is a little bit confusing."
"Support is an area that needs improvement."
"We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license."
"The user interface can be improved."
"I would like to see future enhancements in security, specifically in threat protection."
"Scalability should be based on customer requirements."
"The community portal does not have a place to find scripts."
"The reverse proxy piece is a little bit complicated. If the reverse proxy were easier to implement, that would help."
"The solution could be more open to additional third-party add-ons being integrated into it."
