"The most valuable features are load balancing and WAF."
"The reporting feature is quite good."
"F5 BIG-IQ is a central management system for the BIG-IP."
"F5 BIG-IQ reduces the propensity for error."
"The GUI is fine, at least from an engineer's perspective."
"We use this solution on a daily basis, and it is very stable."
"The backup, monitoring and logging are the best features."
"The interface of the solution is very user friendly and it is easily accessible via a simple URL. This makes it easier to complete the UI based tasks but using other features require expertise in languages like Java. But along with that, there are limitation in terms of network connectivity testing and administrator faces regular challenges in conducting connectivity tests due to these limitations."
"Orchestration is commonly utilized by major corporations. The process of linking methods in ServiceNow, known as the RTS chain to parent methods, is executed seamlessly and efficiently. It's quite impressive and significant in its impact."
"The product has a flexible interface for development."
"It's scalable."
"This is a user-friendly solution where scripts can be made with ease. There are also many integration options, including Microsoft products, which gives the product a competitive edge."
"The data visualization is good."
"The solution effectively automates business processes."
"Great with IT processes and business processes."
"Sometimes the solution does not work."
"There are a lot of scripts available on the internet for people who know how to use them, but with a graphical interface, it would be easier for new users."

"The shell, kernel, or Linux has something like a delay, especially with the Virtual Edition, when you are trying to implement it in the cloud and you want to access it remotely with web management. It would be great if they could improve their kernel. It was difficult for me, especially when I got started with BIG-IP. I was struggling to find which commands work with it. If you want to work with it, you have to be a Linux guy."
"I had trouble with high availability deployment in my environment."
"The solution should improve pricing. It's expensive in comparison to other American solutions."
"Integration with VAS is something that they need to work on."
"They could use YAML or JSON if they wanted to make it a little bit easier for us."
"There is still room for more integrations. Or, it would be nice to bundle multiple products together rather than selling everything as a model as that turns out to be a bit costly."
"The flow rate for releases and updates is very, very slow and does not meet customers' objectives for scalability."
"I would like a user experience module to be added."
"Efficiency of some features could be improved."
"There can be gaps in integration."
"We cannot perform GUI automation using the tool."
"The deployment requires awareness among the project staff."
"Frequent upgrades may negatively impact the performance of instances. Therefore, for now, I don't recommend any additional upgrades."
