Overall Satisfaction with F5 Distributed Cloud WAF

We use F5 Distributed Cloud WAF through our Active Directory single sign on as a Corporate VPN in order to access private endpoints in a secure way. The Deloitte F5 client can only be installed in our Deloitte hardware , we have whitlisted all the F5 ip address inour firewall so we can access custom resources in the cloud.
  • VPN access
  • remote work more secure
  • restrictions to unwanted endpoints
  • CLI client will be great
  • there are issues some times when connecting/disconnecting to F5 it can make you loose internet connectivity
  • a centralized management for all the F5 solutions is a significant win
  • F5 can be a single replacement for most VPN solutions in the market
As a user, yes we have been whitelisting our F5 ip address endpoings in all our cloud firewalls so we can restrict access to be established securely only for people that does have our corporate f5 client installed. The solutoin also protects the users when reaching out to malicious endpoints preventing attacks and maliciuos activities from loading at the front end or back end.
Our microservices are distributed across mutlple cloud vendors (AWS,Azure,GCP), on very specific casesin on-prem. They have been hosted in virtual machines or containers running on Kubernetes clusters as a managed service or a self hosted service.

Did F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall) live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall) go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall) again?

Yes

it is well suited for a corporate environmetn where you want to restrict installations access to only corporate hardward. Intergreation with MFA and single sign on does provide a higher level of security. However, it feels like the client memmory print usage could be lighter. It feels when connecting/disconnecting the DNS get's impacted causing network connectivity for a short time.
