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.

Building AI-assisted disposable research tools has transformed how I automate data gathering
I believe IntelliSense is a good tool to work with, but I wish it could be strengthened in terms of auto suggestions and code rectification. It is efficient at this moment but has room for improvement. Firstly, there is room for improvement in IntelliSense auto suggestion and auto compilation. Although it is very good and robust, it can be improved. Secondly, I have noticed that it sometimes takes a little time to start up and can be a bit slow, perhaps because it consumes lots of RAM or CPU resources. If that can be improved, it would be beneficial. Regarding Visual Studio Professional 2022's AI capabilities, I believe it needs some improvement in accuracy and reliability. At the moment, while AI provides suggestions, I have to review and edit them. Although it has its concerns, it is good in that AI now gives a first draft, whereas in the past, humans had to write everything from scratch.

Pros

"F5 BIG-IP [Private Offer Only] is the best option on the market without any question."
"For performance, reliability, and flexibility, F5 BIG-IP [Private Offer Only] is significantly ahead."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"F5 BIG-IP [Private Offer Only] data plane is very powerful; traffic is processed very quickly."
"Capability in Visual Studio Professional 2022 means it is supporting all things like testing for my testing purpose, as well as the development; everything is integrated in Visual Studio Professional 2022."
"Visual Studio has pretty good support for Git conflict resolving features."
"The benefits that Visual Studio Professional 2022 provides combined with the pricing makes it a good choice."
"Visual Studio Professional 2022 is a fully functional IDE with advanced capabilities that provide an edge over other platforms."
 

Cons

"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 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 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."
"Apart from the editing feature, I would like to see improvement in Visual Studio Professional 2022 because performance has dropped significantly, making it currently about 100 times slower than Qt Creator, which is unreasonable to use in a multi-core environment such as the 128 cores that I use."
"One area I could suggest regarding improvements in deployment efficiency using Visual Studio Professional 2022 is that the context-aware code suggestion should be more tailored."
"Currently, Visual Studio Professional 2022 is not supporting the .TS, TypeScript code, which is a disadvantage, because with Playwright, we can do that in C#, but having Playwright code with TypeScript, I am not able to see any project or any suggestion about the .TS code."
"Regarding Visual Studio Professional 2022's AI capabilities, I believe it needs some improvement in accuracy and reliability."
