The solution is highly stable. I have deployed several F5 Advanced WAF sites since 2016, and they are running without any issues, such as crashes or corrupt systems. To ensure stability, all that is required is to keep the solution updated and manage the patches in a timely manner.
Over the past 10 years, they have grown and increased its strength, adapting to the ever-changing market. They have incorporated Terraform and NGINX, showing their commitment to growth and stability.
I rate the stability of F5 Advanced WAF a ten out of ten.

The product is very stable. It is a PCI company, so there are 10,000-12,000 people using the solution.
My TLS connection is unlimited, so I have a lot of clients because of internet payments. All of the internet payments are behind the ASM for the F5.

It is stable. Actually, it evolved from ASM, what they call the Application Security Manager, and now they name it Advanced WAF. It's been around for a while. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

We can scale the F5 Advanced WAF very easily. We could configure it to be a canned solution or a customized solution. It goes from canned to full customization to what we need.

In general, it is stable and reliable. Over the past few months, several vulnerabilities were found in the product, but which product doesn't have vulnerabilities? The main question is how fast do you get the fix for it, and they provided the fix quite quickly. We had to upgrade it as soon as possible to mitigate the risks.

There is no solution that is bug-free, but when comparing it with other vendors, I would say that F5 is less buggy than the others.

I have had no issues with the stability. Even my friends with bigger installation systems are satisfied with the stability. I believe it depends on how many features you use. I have also had no issues with clusters or software update signature updates. I believe this program is even more stable than the Windows server.

This is an enterprise-class product, and as long it is deployed properly it is quite stable. We have not had any issues post-deployment. This is one of the reasons that customers are paying for F5.

The stability is perfect. 10 out of 10. We've not had any trouble with any deployment ever. And they are very big deployments: service providers, TelCos, banking, everywhere. Even on distant parts of the network, we have not had any kind of performance issues. Of course, as long as the sizing is within the appliance performance range. But it never has had a failure in performance or degradation of service or anything like this, as long as the full-time traffic is within the box capability, we've never had an issue.

The stability of this solution is not great. It's stable, but you are aware of the performance stability when you are relying on a VM-based environment, so there is another layer of performance of the infrastructure itself which you need to take into consideration when talking about stability.
Sometimes the product performance is good, but the infrastructure you are using causes some performance issues.
Now VMware is doing great when it comes to performance, so the performance of the F5 Advanced WAF licensed on our VMware environment is good as well.
