I believe it covers everything related to the applications' security aspects, but there are a lot of improvements that need to be made. For example, better granular controls like bot categories listed on the distributed console and a granular URL-based control for the rate-limiting option are needed.

Cons
F5
  • More accurate detection of advanced persistent threats (APTs) targeting APIs.
  • A greater emphasis on checking APIs' schema and contract may prevent them from accepting misconfigurations or malicious input.
  • More customized, dynamic, and targeted protection for high-value APIs or high-risk user groups.

We ran a short POC with Salt. Its data classification and attack replay features were impressive. What held us back was the limited support for hybrid deployments and poor integration into our CI/CD pipelines, as F5 did.
