Featured Reviews

Excellent task manager software - supports both management and workflow
Excellent task manager software - supports both management and workflow. Time tracking is available and much used in our firm. Integration with Microsoft Outlook is also a great feature, along with the ability to access from mobile. Being able to use Comindware Tracker for common processes or standalone tasks for crucial in our decision to test the software. The software is flexible and computer-novice friendly, making training required minimal and efficient to implement.
Ravindra-Mali - PeerSpot reviewer
Key features like SSL uploading strengthen file handling
From the study material point of view, there are multiple certifications available. The challenge is there is hardly any study material available that can be referred to or used as a study material. Of course, from the knowledge perspective, multiple courses and details are available. However, from a hands-on experience perspective, more resources should be available on the Internet, like labs and lab preparations.

"The most valuable features are load balancing and WAF."
"The customer service is great."
 

Cons

"The initial setup can be quite slow and finicky."
"This solution lacks API integration with some popular websites."
"The UX/UI could be reviewed and revamped to meet new the criteria of Digitalization and Innovation."
"I would like them to offer a one-time payment plan that one can choose."
"It would be wonderful to have newer version releases more frequently, but it is quite a minor con."
"Figuring out how to integrate defined teams or groups into this system is difficult, and there are no contextual menus."
"The OpenAPI is good, but it is not enough. It lacks out-of-box integrations with popular web services."
"We are using the backdated version of this software. That is why we lack of some features. I hope when we update the version, then all the problems will be solved."
"I had trouble with high availability deployment in my environment."
"The solution's rSeries has been made free, and iSeries should be made free as well."
"From a hands-on experience perspective, more resources should be available on the Internet, like labs and lab preparations."
"Sometimes the solution does not work."
"Integration with VAS is something that they need to work on."
"They could use YAML or JSON if they wanted to make it a little bit easier for us."
"F5 BIG-IQ should improve by being a complete certificate management solution because currently, it is only for Venafi. Other automation platforms, should be added."
"The shell, kernel, or Linux has something like a delay, especially with the Virtual Edition, when you are trying to implement it in the cloud and you want to access it remotely with web management. It would be great if they could improve their kernel. It was difficult for me, especially when I got started with BIG-IP. I was struggling to find which commands work with it. If you want to work with it, you have to be a Linux guy."
