Cons
"Most customers encounter stability issues with the product's Big-IP logs.""The user interface (UI) seems a bit outdated. Making it more user-friendly would be beneficial.""The solution could improve by having an independent capture module. It has a built feature that you can deploy the capture on your published website. However, it's not very user-friendly. When you compare this feature to Google Capture or other enterprise captures, they are very simple. It needs a good connection to the F5 Advanced WAF sandbox. When you implement this feature in the data center, you may suffer some complications with connecting to the F5 Advanced WAF sandbox. This should be improved in the future.""The solution's dashboard could be improved. When you're moving from policy to policy, the logs and the integration of the logs in other systems aren't straightforward.""The solution should include RASP for another level of protection at the code itself.""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.""I would like to see a better interface and better documentation compatibility with other products. It's more complicated with OWASP.""I would like to see the API Protection improved."
