Overall Satisfaction with F5 BIG-IP

We use BIG-IP for a lot of different reasons and feel conglomerated with other solutions. We use it for a lot of load balancing. We use it for a lot of geolocation balancing and a lot of basically front end for stuff. It's a fabulous solution.
  • It works particularly well. I mean, unlike a lot of others, it works reliably. It's relatively easy to set up and configure and you don't need to go through a big long configuration just to make simple things work.
  • Honestly, I'd probably have to think about that one. I mean, it's not that they're not there, just that's not on the top of my head.
  • N/A
  • Overall, it meets a need rather than having a lot of point solutions and difficult configurations. It's done a good job consolidating all those. So I can't give you numbers for ROI, but it is absolutely consolidated solutions down to single points that are monetarily optimized.

I can't really speak to the less appropriate, but we do a lot of geo-location load balancing. So with where you are in the world, go here, go there. We do a lot of front-end to other services like reverse proxy type services of that kind. A lot of testing with link testing. So in other words, always going out and validating that things are working right.
