"One of the most valuable features is the Local Traffic Manager."
"The most valuable features of F5 Advanced WAF are the balancer and you can change policies very easily."
"The web application firewall itself is most valuable. It provides positive security and negative security.

"The most valuable features of F5 Advanced WAF are SSL uploading, signature, and anomaly detection. It is overall a high-quality solution."

Cons

"People who want to work with the device have to be pro in Linux"
"This solution can be made more user-friendly."
"I would like to see the API Protection improved."
"The reporting could be clearer and embedded to include our movement data."
