Overall Satisfaction with F5 BIG-IQ Centralized Management

In my opinion, it has been pretty undependable and is the most difficult product to keep up to date. In my experience, upgrades are a giant pain and never go well. I believe central manager is going to be the product to replace this, but I want to be sure it is nothing like this this product. "Big IQ 3.0" if you will.

Pros

  • It does work for licensing well, though tons of custom SKUs
  • It does work for backups

Cons

  • Everything else about it is no bueno
  • It has caused issues with BIG-IP's trying to get stats, so we turned this off
Because at least it does ok at licensing and backups
