We use [F5] Shape [Security] to protect against automated threats to our digital environment, supplementing other F5 controls. We manage the deployment in the cybersecurity org for various IT assets.
- Strong anti-bot protection against middle-level threats
- Analysis and alerting on known problem areas
- Customer support - before and after installation, [F5] Shape [Security] has supported us actively to see the product realize value.
- On a technical side, we've had a lot of deployment issues. This is not a one-sprint solution.
- We ran into undocumented failure modes and had to rely on L2 and L3 customer support, delaying troubleshooting significantly [in our experience].
- Accurate log ingestion is a larger challenge than one would want in a security tool.
