856,873 professionals have used our research since 2012.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The tool is scalable. We can start with a small license. Depending on our needs, we can scale up to bigger installations. It is very easy to upgrade if we are using a VM. Scaling will be difficult if we have hardware. For example, if we buy a 2600 series and then decide to increase the number of users, we can’t do it. We must buy another hardware device.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support must be improved.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The product is easy to implement.
What other advice do I have?
People who want to implement the product must ask for a POC and see if it fits their network needs. F5 is more than happy to provide a POC with a partner. We can check if everything is okay and decide whether they must buy the solution. My customers are fine with the functionalities that F5 provides. Overall, I rate the solution an eight and a half out of ten.
