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 …

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 …

F5 Distributed Cloud Network Connect

F5 Distributed Cloud Network Connect Would be incredibly useful when having to juggle multiple cloud providers. Also XC would be fantastic for standardization and consistency of the whole networking stack. It may be less useful for incredibly specialized cases where very specific traffic manipulation is needed. Any use-cases with heavy APM usage would have to be carefully considered as those features didn’t make it into XC yet.

Cons
  • 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

Performance
The SaaS control plane and reporting analytics run on a high-speed cloud backend, so pages load quickly and complex global telemetry reports compile in just a few seconds. Furthermore, the platform acts as a lightweight overlay that offloads processing to F5's private backbone, meaning it won't introduce latency or slow down your integrated applications.
