Overall Satisfaction with F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall)

I use F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall) for Web Application Protection Gaps. Need to increase the security posture from the external incoming connections to protect the Web Access. Meet strict and mandated government rules and regulations to continue to do business in the specific countries. Meet the compliance and audit requirements both for the protection of data for the enterprise and also offer a sense of assurance to the customers.
  • Granular Configuration
  • Pre-configured Templates
  • Built in policies read to deploy
  • Ease of use
  • Friendly user interface
  • Performance for scalability
  • Lower Cost of Ownership
  • One Single Vendor solution
  • Saves on managing all functionality in one box
Easier to replicate the policies to other F5 deployments in other regions. Can be used to update the polices that have been changed due to security gaps and zero day attacks and push these policies to all the deployments in different regions.
Yes - Can easily push a tested and working policy in one production deployment to other regions readily since all regions supports similar applications in the distributed environment. Can ever perform pushing of upgrades and signatures to form one deployment to others with a great sense of assurance since it as caused no issues on the first deployment.
No purchase of additional hardware
Not affected by supply chain issues during the pendemic
Only need to enable the module and purchase of license was required.
No overhead from the infrastructure deployment team and the networking teams for installation and connectivity.

F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall) is most suited in enterprises with average / normal traffic due to resource limitations as this is a added functionality it may affect performance. Good for small businesses where the F5 can be deployed for not only what it does best natively (ie load balance) but all provide other added security posture (WAF, Bot, DDos etc)
