Overall Satisfaction with F5 BIG-IP DNS

F5 BIG-IP DNS is the perfect solution to efficiently stop DNS-related attacks and distribute user traffic intelligently to multiple service-consumption points. With its tight integration with the local traffic management capabilities of BIG-IP LTM, it becomes super easy to direct excess traffic during peak usage periods to places such as a pay-as-you-go cloud (cloud bursting) so that user experience can always remain at its best! With its many implementation options, such as Intelligent DNS resolution (GSLB with WideIP), and Accelerated DNS resolution (DNS Express for Authoritative Answers, hardware-accelerated DNSSec, LDNS caching resolver) it offers flexibility and simplicity to integrate performance and security to any DNS environment.
  • Direct clients to the best possible app experience
  • Secure DNS infrastructure against attacks, including DDoS
  • Easily integrates into any environment
  • I'd like to see better reporting capabilities on the decision-making process for DNS resolutions. Currently there are plenty of log messages for that, but I'd like to see tighter integration into the GUI.
  • It could be an improvement to better discriminate features intended for AA vs LDNS functionality within the GUI.
  • Protection against security threats using DNS as a vector.
  • Protection against security threats targeting DNS itself.
  • Provide top user experience to application clients, by directing their requests to where they will be treated with the best performance.
