User Testimonials
	F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM)
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
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
Cons	F5 CCU Licenses are limited by device and are not shared between APM devices User sessions are not stored globally, so persistence can be an issue with users all over the world Configuration can get complicated when split up between multiple sites Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Return on Investment	F5 This is really a tough question and I believe F5 should look into the price tags of these products which would help the SMB segments to use this product. As for our industry and the kind of business the ROI is a bit high. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
