Dimitrov Nikolay - PeerSpot reviewer
Tech Lead and Senior DevOps Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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.

Centralized data has supported daily transactions and reporting across all business teams
One area I would like to see improved in SQL Server 2022 Standard on Windows 2025 | Support by SupportedImages is the licensing and feature limitations in the standard edition. Some of the more advanced capabilities are now only available in the Enterprise edition, which can be frustrating when our requirements grow. Another challenge is managing database upgrades and compatibility, particularly when we are moving older applications to a newer environment. We sometimes have to spend extra time testing everything to make sure existing applications continue working properly. I would also appreciate if Microsoft would simplify some of the configuration options and make troubleshooting error messages easier to understand. The product works well for our regular operations, but these improvements would make life easier for our development and DBA teams.
