Cons
"Integration with VAS is something that they need to work on.""There are a lot of scripts available on the internet for people who know how to use them, but with a graphical interface, it would be easier for new users.""F5 BIG-IQ should improve by being a complete certificate management solution because currently, it is only for Venafi. Other automation platforms, should be added.""The solution's rSeries has been made free, and iSeries should be made free as well.""They could use YAML or JSON if they wanted to make it a little bit easier for us.""Sometimes the solution does not work.""F5 BIG-IQ is a complex solution, and it cannot manage everything related to BIG-IPs.""The shell, kernel, or Linux has something like a delay, especially with the Virtual Edition, when you are trying to implement it in the cloud and you want to access it remotely with web management. It would be great if they could improve their kernel. It was difficult for me, especially when I got started with BIG-IP. I was struggling to find which commands work with it. If you want to work with it, you have to be a Linux guy."
