My main use case for Uplynk is live channels around the clock. Since we're in the television business, we're constantly showcasing shows, and it's a continuous operation.

Uplynk's best features are its stability and its capacity to handle high volumes of traffic. The stability that stands out most to me is the ability to handle traffic spikes, which I would say is the best feature.

Uplynk has positively impacted our organization by bringing us more viewership. It does not glitch and stays stable during spikes in viewership. We've seen approximately a 15 to 20 percent increase in viewership because there's no lag and nothing fails. It's constant, so viewership increased. It allowed our viewers to have trust in what we were providing due to the software.

To improve Uplynk, it should be made more user-friendly, as it takes a lot of moving pieces to make it work. Uplynk is very complex software with many moving pieces. If you're a big company, Uplynk is for you. If you're a small company, consider YouTube Stream and similar software because you're not at the scale yet to be using Uplynk.

I have been using Uplynk for a few years, but my company has been using it for probably ten years.

Uplynk is very stable. Uplynk's scalability is very high and very well scalable.

Uplynk's customer support is amazing, especially when you run into problems. They know everything about their product and they're always willing to support and stay on top of it with you to ensure that you're able to fix the issue at hand.

I wasn't a part of the pricing, setup cost, and licensing discussions, but from what I heard from my colleagues, they said it was really good and it was fair, so they went with that.

Uplynk is deployed in my organization on-premises and is fully on-site.

Uplynk supports our business continuity or disaster recovery plans because it's really well protected and it doesn't lag or crash when there's a spike in all areas. Uplynk helps us comply with regulatory requirements in our industry by keeping us live.

Uplynk integrates really well with other systems or tools we use. You need a whole team to really run Uplynk because there are so many moving pieces, the code, the app, and other components. My experience with Uplynk's analytics or reporting capabilities is that they are especially helpful to update the teams and our stakeholders.

I would describe Uplynk's flexibility or customization options as really easy, really customizable, and it integrates in many areas. Uplynk helps me deliver content to different devices or platforms by allowing us to upload on and stay live on tablets, computers, and televisions. It allows us to stay live to get those viewerships.

Uplynk is a software that saves time, but you need a solid team to run Uplynk to ensure viewership and everything is moving because there are many pieces to keep. I advise others looking into using Uplynk that it takes many different areas: coding, integration, APIs, and all that. It takes a team to run it, and you need to be a big company. If you're streaming and doing all that at a big scale, use it. If you're on a smaller scale, Uplynk is going to be really hard for you to manage. It's not something that's simple; just use the ones that are basic out there if you're an influencer and things like that. I would rate this product a nine overall.

My main use case for F5 Distributed Cloud Services is WAF protection.

I am using F5 Distributed Cloud Services primarily for securing my infrastructure with layer 7 protection, which F5 provides. The scenarios and use cases I am protecting involve geo-blocking, rate limiting, and allowing specific traffic to my applications. I have OWASP Top 10 protections enabled, as F5 Distributed Cloud Services offers OWASP Top 10 for layer 7 protections, which provides multiple protection capabilities.

I appreciate the UI of F5 Distributed Cloud Services and the backend cost, alongside the actual value proposition that they provide with the load balancer, which is excellent.

In my opinion, the best features F5 Distributed Cloud Services offers include their ability to operate without running on the cloud, which is why they provide good value to Indian customers. This feature benefits my organization by providing overall value and cost with the product. When I say the product is not hosted on the cloud, I mean that the product itself is managed by data centers as most clouds do. However, their seamless management of their own data center and the fact that F5 Distributed Cloud Services holds its own data center is what benefits customers in India.

One area where F5 Distributed Cloud Services can be improved is in API security, which can be enhanced.

Specifically, the confidence level on API security that F5 Distributed Cloud Services provides can be improved, especially if they can discover APIs in a better manner than all of their competitors.

I have been using F5 Distributed Cloud Services for approximately three months.

I have seen specific outcomes where it has improved security. It has not saved time, but it has reduced costs for the first year at least.

I would estimate the cost was reduced by approximately 30 percent in the first year.

F5 Distributed Cloud Services offers a bundle of use cases which are certainly good for a WAF and API. Regarding F5 Distributed Cloud Services's AI capabilities, I think their governance and security are good. I note that they are working on AI but have not yet released anything; they are combining something from AI and working in the backend, so I would say it is progressing well.

I rate F5 Distributed Cloud Services an eight out of ten overall.
