"The feature that we find most valuable is the ability to integrate multiple IDs for on-premises Active Directory."

It should also improve technical support."

"F5 BIG-IP APM disconnects when you leave it for long enough, but that is natural for IT solutions to do. That's a little bit frustrating."
