Pros
"F5 BIG-IP DNS is useful, depending on how you use it.""The solution is easy to configure and deploy. It is scalable and works without any downtime. F5 BIG-IP DNS is a flexible solution.""F5 BIG-IP DNS has been rock solid in terms of stability for years.""BIG-IP DNS effectively handled a traffic surge. For example, we have application forms replicated across our DCs. If our primary application becomes unavailable, BIG-IP automatically fails over to a client-unaware secondary application.""The management is very easy.""BIG-IP DNS's best feature is the Global Traffic Manager (GTM).""F5 technical support is quite good and they follow up if there are any issues.""The security features, DDoS mitigation facilities, and SQL configuration are the most valuable aspects of this solution."

More F5 BIG-IP DNS Pros →

"I use it as a WAF, which is basically a web firewall to monitor and block traffic to our web server.""It significantly eases the workload and streamlines the initial setup required to protect a website.""The initial setup was very easy.""The most valuable part is the analytics and visualization.""Domain name scanning since it allows us to scan all our domain names and determine whether it has malware or if is reported as phishing.""The initial setup was straightforward. Straight forward because the plugin can simply be installed and then it does its job. It's not complex, there is no learning curve. The online scan is simple, you put in the website address and the scan gives us a report on the browser itself. It's simple to use."

Cons
"I would like to see the login facilities improved, as well as more troubleshooting.""The initial setup is a step-by-step process, so it can be a bit complicated for someone who's using it for the first time.""The solution can improve by adding cloud integration through plugins or additional configurations so we can use F5 BIG-IP DNS to communicate with the cloud.""The tool needs to improve its UI.""There is room for improvement in pricing. It is very pricey.""The monitoring capabilities of F5 BIG-IP DNS could be improved.""The initial setup could be easier.""I sometimes encounter issues with the porting of F5 BIG-IP DNS."

More F5 BIG-IP DNS Cons →

"Sucuri could provide help for specific security alerts in-line instead of requiring users to search for it in the help section.""I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. The reason is that we have found sometimes customers or Google saying that there is something wrong with the website but Sucuri says that the site is clean so we do have to look at the site manually which means that the Sucuri scan does not pick up anything and everything.""The main improvement I would like to see is support for .NET applications. If they could include this feature, I would include more sites in the protection.""In terms of improvement, the cost factor is always there.""It would greatly benefit customers if they implemented an online chat or messaging system for quicker assistance.""Confident score: Currently it does not have one and there are cases that most websites flagged are false-positives."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This product is quite pricey but if you compare the feature set and its compatibility with similar products on the market, you would understand why it's that price."
  • "Cost is a factor. It is really costly."
  • "In some cases, it is expensive."
  • "BIG-IP DNS is more expensive than its competitors like Citrix, but it gives good value for money."
  • "The on-prem version is only available on a yearly license, but the cloud version can be paid for on a day-by-day basis."
  • "They are competitively priced."
  • "I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, with ten being a low price."
  • "You cannot do much around DDoS protection without an additional license from F5."

  • "I’d simply say it’s really worth it."
  • "Sucuri offers different plans, both the standard plan and an advanced plan. So there are different plans to choose from."
  • "The ROI has been very good. Because of the solution, I have a tax break. The site developers were not always experienced people. We used to pay more for cleaning up the site when it was infected. Now, we have peace of mind knowing that the solution will clean up the site and that we won't have to go through the unnecessary process of restoring it from a backup. The protection on the WAF and the measures for backups have also prevented our site from going down."
  • "It stands out as a more cost-effective option compared to other cloud-based security services like Cloudflare or JetPass."

    Top Answer:The IP intelligent services are good for mitigating threats, but there are also false positives. So, it's not a standalone solution that can cover everything. F5 can consider enhancing the security… more »
    Top Answer:The initial setup was very easy.
    Top Answer:The pricing is very reasonable. Sucuri offer other features as an add-on, such as backup, but these have an additional cost. We host the sites ourselves, so I don't take it because it was redundant.
    Top Answer:The main improvement I would like to see is support for .NET applications. If they could include this feature, I would include more sites in the protection. In future releases, perhaps Sucuri could… more »
