    I have used Barracuda solutions. But my experience is not sufficient to make a fair comparison with F5. I do not have experience in other products as well.

    Similar, very similar to both. The main difference has been existing relationships with F5 as a partner and future potential for layering on future advanced services on top later. Often a difficult sell initially as both competitors have larger networks, but often can outclass …

    I would recommend this if you have many cross-platform services across multiple cloud providers and don't want to manage and update them manually. For a simple setup, use a site-to-site VPN, but if you have multiple apps, this will reduce complexity. Moreover, they have their own fiber network worldwide to avoid latency.

    Pros
    F5
    • No manual VPN configuration, static routes, or BGP routing table is needed. You only need to install their Customer Edge tool.
    • If there is some security incident in one account, second account remains protected.
    • Environment level segregation like Production, Stagging, development.
    • Set up a secure, encrypted tunnel across multiple cloud platforms for communication between them.

    Cons
    F5
    • The support model needs a quite a bit of work. I personally have experienced an outage on the platform. due to mis-configureation Although the outage was due to engineer error it took over 2 hours before we were able to speak to an engineer
    • Proxy v2 protocol to allow our organization to capture and view the source IP address

    Aviatrix operates like a slightly different version of XC. Mostly it relies on routing, where cloud connect takes a whole stack into consideration. Not sure if XC can fully replace Aviatrix, but after a couple of implementations, it may become apparent. There are similar routing features in both. XC has more overall features.
