"The most valuable feature of F5 Silverline Managed Services is the benchmark performance."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create signatures on-demand."
"All of our traffic has to pass through the appliance, so we can very quickly mitigate the attack. This is a very valuable feature. On top of that, it's not only volumetric attack protection that the solution offers, but also layer 7 attack protection as well."
"The pricing is reasonable. It's not overly expensive."
"A flexible affordable solution for defense against DDos attacks."
"The product integrates well with Cisco."
"As a service provider, we use the SecOps dashboard feature. That's where we check the time of attacks to see if an attack is happening at the moment or if it has already happened... It is very dynamic and helps us know when an attack occurred, how long it lasted, and what type of attack it was."
"This solution is extremely scalable and has the highest level throughput (100G) which complies with Telco deployment."
"Technologically simple and effective."
"There is room for improvement in the stability of the solution."
"The price of F5 Silverline Managed Services could be better."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with their tech support. I am not sure F5 Silverline Managed Services can be classified as having tech support."
"We'd like more AI to be used. Right now, they don't use it enough."
"The product could be improved on the global load and the integration with the other solution like Cisco and Dell. As a representor of the operation, we prefer to have one platform which can accommodate all type of integration. We are also looking for more improvements in the security policy configuration."
"F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall, being a new product in the market or comparatively related to a new product, currently supports less number of PoPs. They should introduce more PoPs. The current number of PoPs that they have is around 10 or 12, which is still relatively less as compared to 2,400 plus PoPs that Akamai offers. The user latency or the number of hops a user needs before reaching the actual web application is less in Akamai because it has its internal fabric to route the traffic. They need to spin up more data to increase its traffic handling capability. They can also include the bot detection capability, though it is a pretty advanced functionality. If they could include DataDome like functionality, that is, bot prediction, then F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall will be top-notch in the market."
"F5 Silverline Managed Services can improve by reducing the price."
"I just hope the price can be cheaper."
"I would like to see better implementation of a zero-day attack implementation strategy with self-mitigation."
"The solution is a little more pricey than other options on the market."
"It would be ideal if they could expand protocol support to cover emerging communication standards and ensure comprehensive protection against diverse attack vectors."
"APSolute Vision needs to be more granular so that it's possible to get real-time information."
"The inability to access local technical support during our business hours poses a significant inconvenience."
"I would like to see more focus on layer seven protection."
"They should add artificial intelligence to the platform. It is currently missing the machine learning piece."
"It could incorporate more intelligence for reacting with web site visitors."

I highly recommend Cloudflare. We switched from Akamai Prolexic to Cloudflare and couldn't be happier. We also got the worlds fastest DNS and speeded up our site load times with the 200+ edge locations near to our customers.
You can have a look to Imperva Cloud WAF, the anti-DDoS mitigation is under 1s and works very well. I observed a lot of DDoS attacks that were well managed (even not seen by the customer) by Imperva, I can recommend it (try it with a trial, you'll be able to have your own opinion).
