| Cyber Security Engineer at Paysafe / IBM | 4.5 | I use F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition for web application firewalls and VPNs. It supports AutoDiscovery for cloud environments and offers strong security features like DoS protection. However, it requires significant resources and its management could be improved. |
| Manager | Engineering | Cloud Managed Services at Sify Technologies | 4.0 | I use F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition to address our customers' virtualization needs, particularly in payment gateways. Its strong virtualization concepts are valuable, though improvements are needed for on-the-go upgrades without requiring new instance creation for increased resources. |
| Founder at Torres & Torres Tech | 5.0 | I use F5 BIG-IP LTM for global load balancing in our Latin American financial bank's data centers. Its valuable LTM and GTM features excel compared to previous solutions, though improvement is needed for microservices support in Docker and Kubernetes environments. |
| L3 Project Engineer at Inspira Enterprise | 4.0 | I use the F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition for two applications and appreciate its virtualization capabilities similar to cloud services. However, its limitation of two NICs is a drawback. Previously, we found F5 superior to Redware and Palo Alto. |
| Cyber Security Analyst at Link3 Technologies | 3.5 | I appreciate F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition for its lower investment cost compared to physical devices, but it has limitations in code and RAM. I have not used or considered other solutions, and no specific deployment or cloud provider was mentioned. |
