Robust cloud model support and offers competitive pricing with a pay-per-use model
This solution has a robust cloud model, which it supports, and the pricing is also very competitive in terms of pay-per-use. Right now, it seems like ACI is winning a bit in terms of its pricing model. And then, this solution's time to market. So they are generally the first ones to deploy any regulatory changes.

Has faced challenges with visibility and technical support but allows centralized management of multiple sites
The configuration part is complex for F5 BIG-IQ. The simplicity and visibility part needs improvement. The dashboard, especially the analytics part, needs to be more simple and presentable. For the security part, it is difficult to present to our management, so we have to capture it and prepare manual reporting options rather than getting them directly from the system. The automation part in F5 BIG-IQ is limited; we are still using it only for load balancing for some services. We haven't integrated it with our Accesso or implemented any automation options. The setup process for F5 BIG-IQ would rate a five out of ten.
