User Testimonials
	F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM)	FatPipe MPVPN
Likelihood to Recommend	F5 I think that the platform is well suited to many Remote Access VPN solutions, but I also think there is a lot of room for improvement on the backend. If you are hoping to deploy your APM solution across many different datacenters or colos, it may not be the best choice for the final solution. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	FatPipe Networks If you need multiple ISPs for wan aggregation or site to site failover. This box can tolerate failures of ISPs and sites with less than 1-3 seconds of outage time. Incentivized Lou Melograna Consultant Read full review
Pros	F5 SAML 2.0 identity federation support. Integrates with third-party SSO solutions. Bridging modern authentication and authorization (SAML, OAuth/OIDC) and classic authentication and authorization methods. Policy routing Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	FatPipe Networks Load balancing of ISPs Site to site failover SmartDNS Incentivized Lou Melograna Consultant Read full review
Cons	F5 There's some more advanced configurations within OAuth that I think could be fleshed out and easier to approach. There's a lot of things in F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager policies that I find myself recreating every policy. An easier way to copy objects from one to policy to another. Incentivized BF Brandon Finley F5 Engineer Read full review	FatPipe Networks Could use a training manual. Incentivized Lou Melograna Consultant Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	F5 Integration with F5 BIG-IP systems that we plan to keep using for a while. Incentivized Tim Riker Guru Read full review	FatPipe Networks No answers on this topic
Usability	F5 Once things are set up, it is nice and easy to get the Edge Client running on user's PCs. However, that setup process can be a bit daunting at first using the Policy Manager, and reviewing session logs can be difficult at first if you aren't 100% sure of what you're looking for. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	FatPipe Networks No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	F5 It is open platform so support is not good and than F5 and features visibility as not good as F5. F5 Set up and easy to use to admin console. Also have more feature visibility for load balancing, web server accelerator, application server ddos protection and WAF. F5 more efficient to handle concurrent request. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	FatPipe Networks Fatpipe invented SD-WAN over 25 years ago and has been leading the way. Other companies I think have just ridden their coattails. Incentivized Lou Melograna Consultant Read full review
Return on Investment	F5 Single sign on is great for students and faculty and staff Users don't have to log in multiple times Users don't need to remember multiple login IDs and passwords Multi Domain SSO support bridges many internal and external facing products with single sign on Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	FatPipe Networks We have lost ISPs without any business disconnections. Business continuity at its best. Incentivized Lou Melograna Consultant Read full review
