Overall Satisfaction with F5 Distributed Cloud App Connect

We have just started using F5 Distributed Cloud App Connect in a POC for testing out future implementation. So far it has been user friendly and fairly straight forward to configure. The site configuration took the longest simply because of organizational policies we had to work through but once those were sorted we were able to get it up and running in very little time. Impressive to say the least compared to standing up a new box or VM.
  • Ease of use - standing up a new site took very little time, less then an hour.
  • Connecting the dots - the ease at standing up a load balancer and advertising it on CEs was simple and straight forward. Once you get familiar with the field layout it's very comparable to BIG-IP
  • Load balancer between CE's and datacenters
  • having greater load balancing functionality in the cloud
  • Definitely reducing time to deploy
  • Reducing time to patch/upgrade
From what we have been able to test load/responsiveness is quick and when we've tested out reporting and troubleshooting modules they have pulled the correct information in quick timeframes. We haven't been able to test out any software integration with Splunk of other software on our system since we are still in early POC stages but from what we've been told we should be able to implement that in our environment

I thought F5 Distributed Cloud App Connect worked great to bridge the gap between our gcp environment and on prem. We were lacking in cloud funtionality for native load balancers but XC really connected the dots. We would most likely need a hybrid environment until the irules functionality improves for a few of our apps but most could be migrated over the XC.
