F5 Distributed Cloud Network Connect App World Review

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Help clients to address connectivity of applications across multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud environments. Specifically helps with consistency and simplicity in deployments without sacrificing resiliency and choice.

Pros

  • Provides a sometimes critical solution to security, protected paths for traffic.
  • Provides low level (infrastructure level networking) when needed.
  • Provides the ground work for higher level application features and security to be layered on later.

Cons

  • Cleanup of offering names, and organization in portal for usage can help with client adoption and understanding.
  • More validated designs and guidance on recommended practices in the public.

Likelihood to Recommend

This is best suited whenever a client is looking to ensure consistent, secure delivery with multiple locations involved (on-premise private clouds, public cloud environments from different vendors). Especially when multiple traffic types are present and Network level protection is required (L3/L4 DDoS). But even when simply working to provide more manageable (simplified) ingress strategy for a larger ingress footprint, with design goals of more optimization down the road (more/possible east-west rather than only north-south traffic patterns).

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We primarily use F5 Distributed Cloud Network Connect for on prem and cloud applications for campus and some health care computing. Specifically for load balancing. There are some good tools for troubleshooting connectivity and slowness. And to be honest, it's rarely, if ever, the F5. Solid products and I love to see the improvements that have been made.

Pros

  • Fairly intuitive and easy to navigate.

Cons

  • I'm not an expert, and sometimes trying to find proper documentation can be a bit arduous.

Likelihood to Recommend

Nothing specific. It's just a solid product.
