The main drawback of F5 is the cost, which can be a challenge.

F5 Advanced WAF is not a cost-effective solution. Although they are attempting to reduce prices with their VE and cloud options, they are more expensive than other solutions. The solution is more expensive on average. If you are interested in F5 Advanced WAF, it is billed on a yearly basis and based on the number of requests for the service. For example, if you purchase 200 megabytes, there is specific pricing for that capacity. Every year, we will renew the service and provide support for the solution. F5 Advanced WAF does not offer local support services unless the customer is discussing it with a vendor or partner. These services are typically provided by other partners. F5 Advanced WAF could improve in two main areas: pricing and partnerships. The current pricing of F5 Advanced WAF can be quite high, and while they do offer options like the VE or infrastructure service, they could make further efforts to make their solutions more affordable for everyone. I rate the price of F5 Advanced WAF an eight out of ten.

F5's hardware product line is called BIG-IP, and they have many software licenses for IP DNS, Advanced WAF, APM, anti-spam, etc. We have around 10 licenses.

Their pricing is very good for the quality of the product they have delivered in the market. It is a standard licensing cost annually.

As far as the pricing of F5 Advanced WAF I would rate it a four out of five depending on what features I am looking for. Imperva is more expensive. The price has remained consistent at a constant rate. There have not been any increases or any unforeseen increases when we're renewing our license. The price is fixed.

There is a perpetual license that comes with your hardware. There is also an additional fee for support.

Pricing for this solution is higher than average in the market, when compared to its competitors. They should revise their prices in the market. There is no additional cost besides the licensing, and it will also depend on the service delivery model: VM-based or hardware-based. The licensing model, however, is similar among all the vendors.

There are various plans available for Fortinet FortiWeb Cloud WAF as a Service, including a trial version. You are only charged by the total data transferred, and there are hourly charges for the protected web application.

Its price is fair. We have done a couple of deals where they were able to give some kind of discount to the customers. The price was initially high for the customers, but after a couple of negotiations, it came within their budget. They were happy with that.

F5's licensing varies. I do not know exactly what the individual WAF component costs because they bundle up services and the bundle is what I pay for. I do not pay for individual components.

The solution isn't too expensive. The license allows you to license what you need and leave out what you don't need.

I think the price is very high. This is what I hear from the customers. Sometimes we cannot sell the product because it is a higher price.

I think it's a good product but the F5 uses shells, so the people who want to work with the device have to be pro in Linux. If they can put everything in the UI so every regular security engineer can work with it, it's fabulous.
