| Associate Vice President at Novac Technology Solutions | 4.0 | I use F5 Silverline as a cloud WAF, with load balancing, threat intelligence blocking bad IPs, and DDoS scrubbing. Setup is easy, stability is ~99.95%, and support is 7/10; sizing matters. It’s affordable but ROI is only 10–15%, and it should add India DPDP compliance. |
| Senior Network Security Consultant at NTT DATA | 4.5 | I use F5 Silverline Managed Services for managing malicious IPs and subnet range applications. It is user-friendly with valuable monitoring features. However, automating processes could improve efficiency by reducing manual effort in policy creation and blocking IPs. |
| Design & Delivery Senior Network Security Architect at Qiddiya Investment Company | 4.5 | I use F5 Silverline Managed Services for application delivery and security, benefiting from features like load balancing, flexibility, and reliable DDoS protection. Improvements in profile optimization could enhance performance. It provides significant time and cost savings, achieving a 100% ROI. |
| Network And Security Consultant at TD SYNNEX | 4.0 | I’ve sold F5 Silverline WAF for two years; it secures HTTPS web services with positive security, real-time threat intelligence, and learning mode. Setup is easy and scalability strong, but false positives need care. Support is 24/7 yet slow to escalate, and it’s expensive. |
| Presales Engineer at Exclusive-networks | 3.5 | No summary available |
| Security Engineer at Amazon | 3.5 | I use F5 Silverline Managed Services for DDoS protection and web application firewalls. The UI is easy to understand, but navigation can be challenging. Control over the backend is limited due to its cloud-based nature, requiring reliance on support for complex tasks. |
| Head of Infrastructure at AIA | 4.0 | We use F5 Silverline Managed Services primarily for our web application firewall (WAF) to support application deployment for our CBN application. While it effectively handles most traffic, the solution's stability could be improved. |
| Senior Network Security Consultant at NTT DATA | 3.5 | I use F5 Silverline Managed Services to protect applications from SQL injection and cross-access scripting vulnerabilities. Its cloud-native functionality and high protection are valuable, but it could improve by adding features similar to Palo Alto. It's deployed on Microsoft Azure. |
