I am using F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) along with Bot Management, API Gateway, API Security, and F5 Cloud.

I am using F5 Advanced WAF, but I switch between ZTNA solutions such as FortiSASE, Prisma Cloud, Palo Alto, and Cloudflare ZTNA.

My customers are using AWS, Cloudflare, and Azure.

This solution serves as a SASE component.

I am using Advanced Web Application Firewall (WAF).

F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) provides excellent WAF and bot defense solutions.

We are using on-premises or cloud solutions with the Big-IP platform.

The most valuable features in F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) are the policy manager and public web access controllers.

My customers are using the Single Sign-On feature with SAML, RADIUS, and multi-factor authentication.

F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) is not running Anycast; it operates on-premises or multicast, though Anycast capability is required.

F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) is not user-friendly and operates slowly.

Additional features for architecture such as Anycast would be beneficial.

The ability to run the Anycast feature would be valuable, as the current solution only operates on-premises.

The interface is slow, and the speed needs improvement.

I have been working with F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) for over 10 years.

The solution is stable overall.

I replaced F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) with other vendors.

The replacement was necessary because other vendors provide SASE solutions, while F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) is limited to APM functionality.

For cases where F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) doesn't fit the budget, I would recommend a new interface that is very user-friendly and faster, along with functionality such as public host, private host authentication, IPsec, and access control broker.

I am familiar with F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) and its capabilities.

I consider Cloudflare when evaluating centralized access control features; Cloudflare utilizes multi-factor authentication and full API support, while F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) needs to enhance its API support.

I recommend F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) for large companies such as Tüpraş and Ford. Tüpraş is one of the biggest companies in Turkey, along with other customers such as Tofaş, Euroko, Koç Holding, and more.

For on-premises deployment, I would rate it a 10. For cloud deployment, I would rate it a seven.

I primarily use it on-premises.

I rate F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) eight out of ten.

Mostly, we are using Check Point Remote Access VPN solution to provide our employees remote access to our private network so they can easily access the organization's private resources through remote access. Whenever they are working from home or from outside the organization network, they can easily access and work on whatever they want.

The best features Check Point Remote Access VPN offers are its security features, which stand out to me. Whenever we are giving the remote access VPN to any employees or vendors, we can specify and control particular access.

The ability to control and specify access with Check Point Remote Access VPN, such as limiting to particular IPs or applying antivirus and anti-spyware, makes our environment safe from cyber threats and any types of malicious activities or accessing our private data. We control this through the feature by applying security policies that allow particular users.
