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.

ManageEngine Access Manager Plus is ideal where you have numerous external contractors who need privileged temporary access to secure systems, it is also ideal for the elevation of privileges of internal users. Access can be controlled very precisely and sessions can be recorded and access can be revoked at any time.

  • An easier way to share filters between users and menus would be useful.

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.
