We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Most competitor's environments will have their appliance do a hard stop. This means they weigh traffic from real customers and that affects the overall business experience. F5, on the other hand, uses contextual information to be able to specify what is malicious traffic and what is real traffic. That comes from its pool of intelligence, and from its threat intelligence team.""The user interface was recently changed in one of the latest versions, but we find it to be very good. The change was an improvement."
