Likelihood to Renew	F5 Architectural change with a focus on multi-cloud Incentivized Diego Apas Ibrahim Analista Read full review	Juniper Networks No answers on this topic
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. Incentivized Yegor Devyatovskiy Lead Network Engineer Read full review	Juniper Networks No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	F5 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.
