Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."One of the greatest things about F5 Load Balancer is that it provides additional capability for handling huge workloads and routing them to an SAP or non-SAP application. It is capable of supporting a large amount of user workload and application connectivity workload. This was the main reason why we chose F5."
"The detail that you have available when setting up iRules."
"I was able to simply and quickly set up the WAF rules and security, and also set up easily complex policies and rules which gave me some great features to redirect."
"The most valuable feature is the proxy."
"There is a lot of documentation available."
"it has TCP LAN and WAN optimization features. It has has caching."
"The solution is robust and reliable."
"It is a stable product from a stable company. Recently, they have been more focused on security as well."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."
"The deployment could be simplified."
"I would like F5 to incorporate the ability to create your own custom roles and customised permissions within the product set. I have seen many customers wanting to give a certain level of access for the purposes of out-of-hours servicing to out-of-hours staff or teams that fulfill an operations type role."
"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."
"A more intuitive interface would be helpful."
"The solution could improve the documentation."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"Bugs are the part of program and they are fixed with every release, as with any vendor."
"A lot of functions that are attributed to iRules can actually be simple profile changes. iRules do have a certain performance impact. Therefore, instead of writing simple iRules, they can create certain profiles for classes that will perform the same function."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else."
