Overall Satisfaction with F5 BIG-IP

So the Big IP one is the load balancer and with most of our clients, I have seen the products being used. Our clients are pretty happy with Big IP and we also do a lot of offensive testing against Big IP, which seems to be very good and pretty good with what it does.
  • I think it does pretty well with the role balancing.
  • So one is it does what it does. I mean load balancing pretty well. But I think when it comes to distributor denial of service, I think it needs to sort of have a little more breakdown on the products that are affordable. It's very expensive to have a distributed denial service solution. If you could implement distributed denial service features at a low-balancer level, that would be awesome. I don't think any company has achieved it successfully. But because this brand has a background in these kinds of products, I'm pretty sure you can come up with something that we are looking for.
  • I think it's more geared toward positive impact. I don't think it has any negative impact. Unless someone has misconfigured it, then it can have a negative impact.
