"If I were to choose one key feature in particular, perhaps it would be the iRule feature. It’s a really versatile tool."
"It has so many features. First of all, it has a full proxy architecture, it has multiple modules. The best feature is the WAF, the web application firewall module. It also has cashing type capabilities. It has all kinds of load-balancing algorithms based on your IT requirements."
"The solution could improve the ease of use, the management could be simplified. Other solutions are easier to use."
"The most valuable feature of F5 BIG-IP LTM is it helps our delivery team to make policies and rules for application."
"It is a very good, flexible solution. It helps us to catch up on flaws in our partner solutions on top of its load balancing feature."
"It supports APIs and virtual additions for cloud and VMware."
"In terms of stability, it is stable."
"Good application firewall."
"We discussed problems with the network products with the Indian teams. The support center for network products is located in India. There are language barriers and issues with the time difference, so we sometimes face restrictions when dealing with this team."
"There is room for improvement in the user interface."
"Security enhancement should be more user friendly."
"The management interface is unclear, complex, and not concise. I would like a better user interface."

"We need best-practice information. They have something called DevCentral and a blog. But we want something from F5 itself regarding how to tackle the false-positive configurations. If you go into detail with so many configurations it will find so many false positives from the moment it is enabled that it will quickly impact your applications, and it will not work."
"It would possibly help to get more training, even better in local languages."
"To improve the product, they could add more load balancing solutions in Kubernetes."
