F5
I think it's mostly suited for my company because it has prevented others from phishing into our company account and our user accounts, for example. Then it actually creates another safe because when I have to log in, I just have to connect on my phone to approve or not. So if I don't see that, it's kind of like someone else is trying to log in to my computer.

Cons
F5
  • Recently we have been deploying F5 web application firewall and we have started the deployment. We have already moved applications out there, but we are not yet to the point wherein I could comment any positive feedback or any negative feedback because we are still going through it, right. But as far as I'm concerned, I don't see any drawbacks or any shortcomings on the F5 product lineup.

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.

That's the one thing that really stood out. It was a lot easier to use from an administrator standpoint, so I think that's the one thing that really made our team decide to go with this product versus another competitor. Just ease of use.

We have used HAProxy in our organization earlier for cloud-based solutions but we didn't have good experience with it as it was not that secure and had so many issues related to it. But when we switched to CloudRange, it help to lower the barrier to entry for small businesses who have not yet made the move to cloud technology by providing affordable, easy-to-implement, managed cloud solutions.
