User Testimonials
	F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM)	remote.it
Likelihood to Recommend	If you already have an F5 implementation or use the LTM for load balancing. Then APM is the most obvious choice for you. It is just an add-on subscription/license to your existing appliance. In this day and age, where remote work is considered the norm then APM is a good solution to ensure your users have the required access wherever they are. Incentivized Mohammed Younus Siddiqui Load Balancer Administrator Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	Source and destination IP Base policy Source and application base policy Ssl VPN with load balancing and fail over policy working fine. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	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	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	Integration with F5 BIG-IP systems that we plan to keep using for a while. Incentivized Tim Riker Guru Read full review	No answers on this topic
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.

Alternatives Considered	BIG-IP product is well known in the industry for its robustness, which was one of the prime reasons for selecting the same. Also as a certified professional, I have hands-on experience. The other products were evaluated, however BIG-IP outweigh them all. In regards to performance, I would say this device particularly performs very well. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Positive is that due to how much F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager can do, the F5 is the landing spot in our environment for MFA authentication. It has allowed a technology the company originally bought for load balancing to be used for multiple purposes. F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager has made the environment more trusting of F5 as a MFA.
