Overall Satisfaction with F5 BIG-IQ Centralized Management
Was intending to use as the product name suggests, that being a Central Management tool, to support a few hundred BIG-IP devices, including centralized SSL/TLS certificate management, configuration management, backups, licensing, etc.
Pros
- backups
- license management
Cons
- ability to easily push configuration changes to managed devices
- platform is not very user friendly when it comes to trying to save and re-use configurations deployment jobs; they must be re-created every time even though you are trying to execute the same job.
- Not significant impact positively; it's been more of a disappointment than anything else.
- F5 BIG-IP
- F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM)
- F5 BIG-IP DNS
- F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM)
BIG-IQ is inferior to most other F5 platforms that I've used extensively.
