"The support experience is better than average.""This solution is an enterprise-class firewall that provides both load-balancing and security.""There are a lot of good features.""The initial setup was was easy to install.""In terms of F5 Advanced WAF's most valuable features, I would definitely say its stability. F5 is one the most stable products. Either as the load balancer or the web application firewall, it is very stable.""I like all of the features, but the main one is the attack signatures.""The most valuable feature is artificial intelligence and to get extra internal access.""The solution is easily accessible on mobile and laptop devices."

Cons
"The tool must be simplified."

More Airlock Cons →

"The BNS module needs improvement.""People who want to work with the device have to be pro in Linux""The BIG-IQ is supposed to centralize the management for all of the boxes but it's not very effective.""I would like to see additional controls.""The pricing could be more flexible.""I would not expect traffic details to pass through the web application firewall across the length of the whole application. I think that there is a web application where it can let the application function without traffic going in into the WAF.""Nevertheless, F5 products are generally considered to be hard to deploy.""The solution is tedious. It takes a lot of discrete settings so one needs to get detailed and granular when they use the solution. It takes you a whole lot of energy and concentration to configure. It needs to be much more straight-forward, like other web solutions."
