    it is great for automating tasks like deploying VMs, running BigQuery and managing cloud resources at scale. It is much faster than the UI for repetitive actions and allows you to easily script and scale progress. However it is not ideal for beginners

    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

    Google Cloud CLI is highly usable once you’re past the basics, especially for engineers and DevOps teams who live in the terminal. It’s powerful, consistent, and scriptable, which makes it excellent for repeatable workflows, automation, and day-to-day cloud operations. The command structure is generally logical, tab-completion and help flags are solid, and it integrates cleanly into CI/CD pipelines—huge wins for productivity

    Performance
    F5
    Overall, F5 Distributed Cloud Network Connect is responsive and has many features. There is minor clunkiness in how certain scroll bars are layered. This may cause some adverse experience when trying to manage this product through a zoomed browser. Page loading and refresh timers were all very much responsive. There is a good amount of feedback from the interface 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 Akamai in terms of capabilities, when against Cloudflare it is most difficult when no existing relationship exists to not consider Cloudflare's larger footprint.

    Google Cloud CLI stacks up well against other cloud and infrastructure CLIs by balancing power, consistency, and automation readiness, especially in production environments. Compared to AWS CLI, it’s more opinionated and readable, with better defaults and a more coherent command structure across services. Compared to Azure CLI, it’s less beginner-friendly but offers deeper control and is better suited for complex, large-scale workflows.
