Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."One of the most valuable features of this solution is the server load balancing. Something that sets this solution apart from other products is that the hardware has a much higher capacity than other vendors. That's the edge of Array Networks. Their technical support services are also very good."
"We like the capability to combine the content switching with the intrusion prevention and adding the security roles, so we can expose certain sub-pieces outside without exposing everything."
"The most valuable feature is the proxy."
"Users can see a remarkable performance difference from a qualitative sense."
"Along with load balancing, we perform a lot of packet inspections, URL rewriting, and SSL interceptions via iRule."
"The combination of ADC and WAN is the most valuable feature."
"The solution has good load balancing capabilities."
"Valuable features include Link Controller and Server Load Balancer."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I would like to see more granular reporting and monitoring features, and I believe our clients want to see them as well. Also, SD-WAN would be a good addition."
"Not everything is intuitive."
"There is a need for a more modular version to concentrate on the current monolithic structure of both the virtual and hardware versions."
"The cost of the solution is pretty high. It would be ideal if it was more reasonable."
"We would like to see load balancing between the cloud and the on-premise, a straightforward deployment feature."
"BIG-IP LTM's sandboxing integration could be improved."
"I would like to see F-5 implement a regular routing like in other Linux-based devices. When we try and integrate in some complex networks, we have to use some additional routing scenarios from a Layer 3 perspective, then we have some problems. It would be great if this were fixed somehow."
"Technical support could be improved."
"To improve the product, they could add more load balancing solutions in Kubernetes."
