Overall Satisfaction with F5 BIG-IP

We use F5 BIG-IP to perform load balancing for internal and external applications. We also use the product for reverse proxy.
  • Load Balancing
  • Reverse Proxy
  • Fast data transfer through the appliance.
  • The downtime during upgrades
  • The number of operations it takes to complete administrative a tasks
  • IRules are hard to follow sometimes.
  • We have used the device to improve throughput on application load balancing that other products could not perform.
  • The ability to do RBAC has allowed us to have users manage their own pools and reduce the F5 administrative overhead
  • We have most application owners wanting to use the product to reduce their downtime for upgrading their servers.
I prefer the F5 over all of the other products. I have had more success with F5 than another of the above listed products.
