F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition vs JFrog DevOps Cloud Platform comparison

"I have a specific issue with the network interface connector, the NIC. We're limited to a maximum of two NICs in a virtualized environment. It's a limitation of the tool."

"It's easy to use, and they have good support."

"It has DoS layer 7 protection, which not many vendors have."

"The integration capabilities of the product are easy to use, and there is no complexity involved in it."

"The features that I like include LTM and Global Traffic Manager (GTM)."

"The tool's investment is less than a physical device."

"They have a professional service team that works alongside their engineering and performance teams."

"The most valuable features include task tracking and reporting capabilities."

"I appreciate the features in JFrog DevOps Cloud Platform, especially the efficient file management where downloads and uploads are optimized, saving time. The storage efficiency is also great as it avoids redundancy, which is crucial for our team. It is also quite easy to use, especially for basic commands through the command line. It's straightforward for us internally, and our data is well-hosted on their servers, which makes data location and querying fast and efficient. Moving our storage to JFrog has streamlined our development cycle by eliminating duplicated data, which previously took up extra space locally. This efficiency is crucial for our workflow, although network speeds still play a significant role in performance."

"On-the-go upgrades are an option that the tool currently lacks, making it an area where improvements are required."

"It's expensive and could be cheaper."

"BIG-IP could improve in supporting microservices, for example, in Docker and Kubernetes environments."

"I have a specific issue with the network interface connector, the NIC. We're limited to a maximum of two NICs in a virtualized environment. It's a limitation of the tool."

"F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition is a heavy system that needs a lot of CPU, memory, and hard disk."

"The tool has limitations with respect to code and RAM."

"We have encountered stability issues lately, particularly with frequent 500 internal server errors. Despite efforts from our DevOps team to adjust settings, these issues persist, affecting our workflow, especially with machine learning data uploads. Overall, while it's beneficial for storage and accessibility, stability issues need improvement for seamless operations. The occasional occurrence of internal server errors takes several minutes to resolve on their own and can disrupt workflows. Another concern is that sometimes files appear to be successfully uploaded, but then they cannot be downloaded, with no error message indicating the issue during the upload process. This inconsistency needs to be addressed by JFrog to ensure reliable functionality for users like us."

"Our locations are in different environments, so the remote server takes time to catch up, causing replication delays. The engineering team suggested that this issue would be resolved, but I'm not sure if it has been addressed yet. This is more of a feature enhancement that we suggested."

"The product could benefit from enhanced integration capabilities with older software systems and more customizable reporting options."

"I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, with ten being expensive."

"My company's customers need to make payments for the licensing charges attached to the product. It is an expensive product."

"The pricing is standard."

"F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition is an expensive solution, but it's worth the price."

"Regarding pricing, I focus on the platform's interface and user communication rather than costs."

"The product pricing is competitive but worth negotiating for volume discounts or longer-term contracts."
