Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, F5 and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."Our customers are more than satisfied with the user experience provided by the product."
"The occasion in which we needed technical support, we didn't have problems with them, because they always answered our questions without any trouble."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is IP Intelligence."
"It provides first-tier firewalling, for you application. And it provides server load-balancing, it provides optimization, and it provides a proxy feature, where your users cannot directly access your server. It acts as a fully proxy architecture. It has client-side and server-side connections, both, and they're separate."
"Along with load balancing, we perform a lot of packet inspections, URL rewriting, and SSL interceptions via iRule."
"Routing and load balancing are its most valuable features."
"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."
"Stable and scalable network traffic management solution for applications. It has good performance."
"I think F5's tech support may be better than Citrix's because they mainly focus on the ADC product, but Citrix support covers Hypervisor, XenMobile, FAS, and ADC. And from my experience, sometimes, we face some issues that Citrix cannot handle."
"The tool must be simplified."
"The ASM administration is quite complex. The topic itself is pretty complex, so it is not easy to provide a nice, clean interface. There are a lot of references and dependencies in-between the different subareas."
"BIG-IP LTM is taking a long time to mature in cloud environments. They plan to improve cloud integration in the next version, but it isn't out yet. It's essential because more companies are moving to the cloud these days and using things like Kubernetes or microservices. F5 needs to improve in that direction, and they are."
"The user interface of F5 BIG-IP LTM is old and could improve."
"For a future release, I would like to see more features in the cloud."
"My only point of contention would be that it is a little pricey."
"I would like to see better integration."
"I would like there to be more device security. I would like the tool to support SSL links, along with SSL and TLS."
"There is a need for a more modular version to concentrate on the current monolithic structure of both the virtual and hardware versions."
