Overall Satisfaction with F5 BIG-IP
We use F5 BIG-IP in our environments to increase the availability, performance, and security of several of our applications. We have been building applications into the LTM to allow for any downtime related activities for our application servers. The use cases for our applications include being able to take servers down for maintenance without needing additional outage windows, being able to understand additional performance metrics of our applications, and we also build tetration data from our security teams that allow for us to make intelligent business decisions. BIG-IP has been the best choice for our solutions because of the focus and commitment that F5 has to its reputation as the leader in load balancing products.
- Application Availability
- Application Performance
- Application Security
- Support response times
- Functionality differences between CLI and GUI
- More clear troubleshooting pathways
- These metrics are not available due to the process and cycles within our organization
- F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM), Infoblox DDI (BloxOne) and NetScaler Intelligent Traffic Management
F5 BIG-IP Vs Netscaler Traffic Manager by Citrix I would say there is no comparison. Netscaler was difficult to use and no one easily understood the configurations. It led to many times where our engineers would need to reverse engineer the configuration before they could make simple or small changes to the load balancer configuration.
