I actually have never needed to use their technical support. That said, based on all the other features and services provided by the company, I got to believe the Technical support team that supports the F5 Big-IP really does a good job while dealing with their customers on the daily basis

On the occasions when we've had to engage f5 support, they have been great. They have always resolved our issues quickly and been easy to work with and professional. The reason I give them a 10 out of 10, however, is because when we've had issues that have crossed over between the f5 BIG-IP, our Cisco switches, and our Microsoft IIS server the f5 support representatives have been extremely knowledgeable about every product and device involved and have been able to troubleshoot end-to-end without having to engage other vendors.

Although I rarely have connection problems with this software, there isn't a lot of direction to help with troubleshooting when it doesn't work. I usually just restart my computer and try again. I haven't ever attempted to contact any form of customer support for troubleshooting or technical support when I've had issues.

I was pleasantly surprised by F5 support, with my experience being the best of all the network vendors. I was not speaking to someone across the world, the engineer fully took ownership and followed through to solution without me having to keep calling. The support engineer also was able to resolve an unusual situation, in which most other vendors' engineers would simply give up.
