    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.

    i believe the solution is needed and can be utilized if you have like multiple environment in your infrastructure (windows and linux) and you want easier and secure remote sessions for your admins. Also if you require comprehensive audit trail logs with good reporting for your audit team, it's also beneficial if you require live monitoring sessions by security department

    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.

    • Initial setup is not straight forward and could do with some simplification.
    • Could do with a specific dashboard for each remote office.
    • An easier way to share filters between users and menus would be useful.

    Usability

    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.

    I think the solution covered a big gap we had, and we could not find a system in the market that covers the same areas with greats features availability, the solution serves three departments in our organization, the Infrastructure, Security and Audit departments, and this demonstrates how critical and beneficial it is.

    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.

    i think manageengine access manager is better overall in the ease of deployment, and the fact that it had native RDP ssh and sql access from a single console.
    The main thing that made the difference is that integrates with the other manage engine solutions ecosystem.
    additionally i believe the overall cost was better in manage engine
