    LTM's scope of action goes beyond load balancing. Tools for control, governance, and application enhancement, as well as APIs like iRULE, are very important for day-to-day operations. Furthermore, the F5 BIG-IP WAF offers exceptional security. Advanced firewall and routing functionalities are helpful in more complex environments. O LTM possui um escopo de atuacao que vai alem do balanceamento. Ferramentas para controle, governanca e aprimoramento de aplicacoes e API como iRULE sao muito iportantes para o dia a dia a operacao. Alem disso o WAF do F5 BIG-IP tem uma qualidade de seguranca exceptional. As funcionalidades avancadas de firewall e roteamento ajudam em ambientes mais complexos.

    It is very much suited for organizations that have a great consideration of protecting their data/assets. It is an expensive solution. Hence SMB segments require to find out something which can be similar to achive this. However, there are very few players in the market who has single pane configuration pane, which is one of the key benefits of Forcepoint ONE.

    Pros
    F5
    • My company is kind of like it's a safe thing if you log in and you provide another second login to get the code to log in, confirm that it's a correct that you are logged into the account and it just provides more for the company

    • Forcepoint ONE is particularly effective at identifying and blocking sophisticated threats, including those that attempt to evade detection by traditional security solutions.
    • The platform uses a combination of advanced analytics and human expertise to constantly monitor activity on networks and identify anomalies that may indicate an attempted attack that is why Forcepoint ONE can quickly block threats and prevent them from causing damage.

    Cons
    F5
    • I think a couple of challenges. One, I mean the cost, it's not an inexpensive product, but I think it's probably parity with value, maybe a little on the pricey side of things.
    • As far as features and what we'd like to see more cloud native type experiences like where NGINX and F5 kind of come together, we're moving more of the cloud just like everybody else, and it's a little clunky right now.

    • There is no need for improvement in the solution. The solution is built with all the required features and capabilities that are required for a security service edge solution.

    Stability of product and easy way to have account manager contact. F5 support team is also always available to help with major issues. Last year during the major OS upgrade F5 team and F5 leadership always shared clear information and F5 team was dedicated to help us to have it closed in record time

    Usability
    F5
    It is a good product to use but right now it is lacking the automation of certificates, management of iRules and automation of certain configuration. Also creating an APM policy from scratch with many APM agents take a long time due to slow load times of the GUI and the need to create everything from scratch every time. It's tough to reuse the configuration.

    I've supported F5 for three different companies. Our F5 support has been very consistent, regardless who the customer is. F5 technicians are very experienced and provide good support, even when issues are more related to knowledge than they are with the ability of the product to do what you need it to do.

    We are recently not evaluating, but we have started the deployment for WAF and we're using GTM, LTM, you name it. F5, we are using all of them.

    Ease of use Microsoft Defender was a great product, but it looked like it is too risky to have only one vendor for all our needs. Fortinet has a lot of improvements to make to consider in the enterprise segment.

    • There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the impact of Forcepoint ONE on a business's overall objectives will vary depending on the specific goals and objectives of that particular business.
    • However, in general, businesses that have implemented Forcepoint ONE have seen a positive impact on their overall objectives, with many reporting increased productivity, improved security, and reduced costs.
