Overall Satisfaction with F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM)

We use the APM to consolidate remote, mobile, network, virtual desktops, and web access. We use it as an authentication module for connections going throughout virtual servers. We have our primary website sitting behind the F5.
  • Secures access to apps, APIs & data.
  • Simplifies and centralizes access to apps, APIs & data.
  • Authentication module for connections.
  • Policy writing is somewhat complex for the novice.
  • Some kind of training is a necessity.
  • Authentication for our virtual servers.
  • Single Management Interface.
  • Manages global access to our network & cloud applications.
  • Improved App performance
  • Simplifies authentication
  • Need to have some programming in your background to get the most out of the product.
We looked at Okta and Netscaler. We already had the F5 in-house for strictly Load Balancing purposes. So since we already had it was an easy solution for Access Management. We also use the ASM (web application firewall).
