Cons
"Firstly, geolocation currently relies on manual updates. It has to move to automatic updates. There are no automatic updates for this feature. If some IPs, countries, or service providers move to another country, now you will be allow IPs that you previously denied.

This is really a very important area that they need to improve.""It doesn't compare to next generation firewalls""Deployment times vary according to the customer. It needs to be heavily configured. You need to look and you need to observe the behavior of the traffic before you can start configuring everything. It can take time.""For configuring the firewall, every single vendor on the planet has pretty much the same logic when it comes to firewalls, and F5 has a completely different approach and completely different behavior.""We needed to protect the database but the solution didn't offer a certain feature to do so.""The solution’s initial setup is not easy.""There is room for improvement in Advanced Firewall Manager's dashboard statistics, especially during attacks.""F5 BIG-IP Advanced Firewall Manager's pricing and technical support services need improvement."
