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

I'm a reseller and have experience with our customers using it. APM has been a breeze to replace things like Azure's native API Gateway, I just wish the APM module was available in F5 Distributed Cloud.

Pros

  • Displace native cloud provider's versions of APM
  • Clean & authenticate the traffic coming through
  • Make life easier for customer's SecOps & NetOps teams

Cons

  • Bring the module to XC
  • nothing else I can think of in my experience with it
  • Overall, it's made displacing F5's competition relatively easy
  • I've been forced to sell BIG-IP VEs in an environment where XC would run better, but the customer needed APM so XC wasn't an option.
It's simple to set up, configure, and tweak
  • F5 BIG-IP
  • F5 Distributed Cloud API Security
I selected APM as it's the main thing preventing me from selling more Distributed Cloud.
