Overall Satisfaction with F5 Distributed Cloud API Security

We use Distributed Cloud to showcase it to our customers. Some of the business problems are mostly application security that our customers are looking to harden off. We have used API to simulate attacks and how XC can prevent it.

Pros

  • Remediate attacks
  • Automatically provision LBs
  • Creation of WAF policies

Cons

  • Better walk throughs
  • Links to kb
  • We can showcase actual attacks to our customers
  • We have the ability to do creation in real time
It is pretty useable, the main issue being some errors do not give good feedback on how to resolve them.

It’s well suited for a customer that is deploying this greenfield. A customer with an existing F5 product is less likely to switch over, unless they don’t want to use hardware anymore.
