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.

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.

"Comindware Tracker features a clear layout with a clean, professional interface that people can use with ease."

"It helps very well with project management, and the workflow process is very easy and fast."
"Features like AFM, the gateway, and Global DNS are the coolest features that save work for us."
"The reporting feature is quite good."
"Overall, this is a good solution and I would recommend it but they need better integration with VAS."
"The best aspect of the solution is that we can have everything integrated with a rather large capacity in order to personalize and configure specific rules."
"We mainly use F5 BIG-IQ to protect our web-based applications, such as our email and website, so we use it as a web-based application firewall for those services."
"The customer service is great."
"There is a lot less risk involved in having applications available on the Internet."
"Their technical support is perfect, they were so supportive, the guys are great and they would do anything for you."
 

Cons

"The OpenAPI is good, but it is not enough. It lacks out-of-box integrations with popular web services."
"Figuring out how to integrate defined teams or groups into this system is difficult, and there are no contextual menus."
"If your organization has only a few team members then this tool is not suitable."
"The initial setup seemed a bit complex, and there is no great documentation."
"It would be wonderful to have newer version releases more frequently, but it is quite a minor con."
"I am expecting new updates to improve the software."
"There are not very many report templates, and if there were more, it would really help."
"It lacks workflow samples, which would make it even easier for non-technical users to build their own apps."
"The solution's rSeries has been made free, and iSeries should be made free as well."
"They could use YAML or JSON if they wanted to make it a little bit easier for us."
"Sometimes the solution does not work."
"Integration with VAS is something that they need to work on."
"You do need to have a good and solid background or foundation for networking and you need to understand how to configure F5 appliances in order to properly use it."
"The solution should improve pricing. It's expensive in comparison to other American solutions."
"For stability, F5 BIG-IQ rates a two or three because currently we are integrating it with our third party as a port forwarding service. We created many VIPs, but on average, weekly, we lose three to five connections, making the troubleshooting part a headache for us."
"A bug caused me to lose all the configuration."
