Advanced automation and powerful traffic controls have improved application security
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 support is something that definitely could be improved in F5 BIG-IP [Private Offer Only]. I mean HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 protocol support, as well as security for them too. For F5 BIG-IP [Private Offer Only] to have better support for them would include load balancing, but also better WAF (Web Application Firewall) support for these two protocols. Improving the mentioned HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 support and the GUI would be beneficial. If they improve those things and add machine learning and AI, I want it to have some kind of AI on the box because everyone is going to AI, and they have to add some AI security to be able to check the traffic using AI models. HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 protocol support, AI, the GUI to be changed, and inline AI where the device downloads pre-built AI models from a SaaS cloud to check the traffic for security is something I think is very needed because using AI models as a replacement for signatures will be better. I think WAF signatures are a thing of the past. I would also like to see HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 in the future as additional features, and anything else I would improve would definitely include HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.

Automation has accelerated deployments and standardizes pipelines while reducing operational errors
To improve Jenkins on CentOS 10, there are some challenges we ran into, especially when we first started using it. We missed clearer documentation, both for Jenkins as code and for some environment configurations. As a result, a lot of configurations were learned manually through tests with the team. We also missed more stable plugin updates. We had many problems with incompatibility between plugin versions in Jenkins on CentOS 10. What makes those situations challenging is that we had problems starting and restarting the Jenkins on CentOS 10 application when we needed to reuse plugins from the previous version. Once we updated some plugins to the required version, others became incompatible with the current version. It became a cycle where we had to update Jenkins on CentOS 10, the versions of the plugins we used, and the versions of the plugins they depended on, which made configuration and startup quite difficult in some cases.

Pros

"F5 BIG-IP [Private Offer Only] is the best option on the market without any question."
"The customization that iRule gives is far beyond what is available in the market when comparing to their competitors including Radware, Array, and other vendors."
"The best features for me in the product are that geotagging is very nicely incorporated and rule creation for incoming traffic is very user-friendly."
"For performance, reliability, and flexibility, F5 BIG-IP [Private Offer Only] is significantly ahead."
"F5 BIG-IP [Private Offer Only] data plane is very powerful; traffic is processed very quickly."
"F5 BIG-IP [Private Offer Only] is an application delivery controller that does what it says on the tin, and we use it as a firewall, routing device, WAF, and more, leveraging a full set of its capabilities."
"With Shared Libraries, I do not need that. I can have one controller and call it in other pipelines as well. I declare it in Jenkins, indicate the repo where it is, and any pipeline that wants to use it just needs to call that method, because when you start the build, it already loads into memory what you need to use. That is really cool."
"The plugin I consider indispensable, which has greatly facilitated integration with other systems, is the Atlassian plugin, which is exactly the plugin for where we have our source code repository."
"The Pipeline as Code aspect I mentioned is the most useful feature for us."
"Jenkins on CentOS 10 has had a very positive impact on my organization. It gave us predictability and automation."
"We are able to do things that we normally cannot do in other pipelines, such as GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or GitLab CI itself."
"That level of detail helps me a lot because I can understand the stage that is running and what is actually happening, literally, in that stage."
"The best features Jenkins on CentOS 10 offers in my experience are the automation aspect and CI/CD, which I use a lot."
"Jenkins on CentOS 10 has had a positive impact on my organization by improving speed, as the team can roll things out without having to watch manually."
 

Cons

"I would appreciate improvements in the UI because F5 BIG-IP [Private Offer Only]'s traditional UI differs from others that have made their interfaces more user-friendly; F5 BIG-IP [Private Offer Only]'s approach is still traditional, with upgrades that are still manual, while competition has made upgrades easy with one-click processes."
"I am not sure whether putting all eggs in one basket is a good thing."
"F5 BIG-IP [Private Offer Only] is expensive; it is very expensive, but they are the leader, so everyone buys F5 BIG-IP [Private Offer Only]."
"I see a drawback with F5 BIG-IP [Private Offer Only]: pools and nodes are two features that are very similar and shouldn't be divided like that, because they are almost the same thing."
"I think F5 BIG-IP [Private Offer Only] can be improved, particularly on the metric side."
"One of the areas for improvement in F5 BIG-IP [Private Offer Only] is the licensing part, as the cost is comparatively very high."
"I give Jenkins on CentOS 10 a score of 8 because I see that some plugins are maintained by the community and are not actually supported by Jenkins."
"I believe Jenkins on CentOS 10 can be improved with enhancements such as the Docker image in the Docker container."
"The difference from what I have presented is that they are easier to deal with regarding AI. GitHub Actions is already integrated with Copilot itself; if there is a build error, it explains in detail where it was and why it happened, and it asks if you want it to make the change. Azure is the same thing. I don't feel that in Jenkins on CentOS 10."
"Stability in Jenkins on CentOS 10 could be enhanced."
"I think Jenkins on CentOS 10 could be improved with more known features and plugins because we have a lot of plugins in my organization that I do not completely understand, and we face numerous alerts and security notifications that I do not really have knowledge of."
"I believe Jenkins on CentOS 10 could be improved by updating its interface, making it a bit more intuitive and modern."
"For improvements to Jenkins on CentOS 10, I believe its plugins need to go through some reviews."
"I believe Jenkins on CentOS 10 can be improved by allowing some customizations in the dashboard in a more immediate way."
