Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

  • "Every scenario we have put the solution through it has been able to handle it one way or another."
  • "The initial setup isn't too difficult."
  • "Its security features are very good. It has normal security, and then it has add-on security with a separate license, which I find very good. It is also very stable."

Room for Improvement

  • "The installation is complex but not more than other competitors."
  • "The most difficult thing that we have to deal with is SSL Hardening. Vulnerabilities are found in various ciphers, getting them removed, identifying them, et cetera."
  • "It can have more features on the cloud side because we are moving a lot of servers to our cloud. Its support and scalability also need improvement. Currently, their technical support is slow, and its scalability is complex.It should have integrated SSL decryption with some special machine algorithm to tell us about certain kinds of security issues. Currently, it can decrypt, but it should also provide more information. It can have some kind of algorithm to inform us about how the packets should or shouldn't be. It should inform us when certain things are happening. When users are going to the internet and it sees an abnormal behavior or abnormal type of traffic, it should alarm us about this. It should tell us that there is some kind of strange traffic, and it shouldn't be like that. Currently, it lacks in this aspect."

Consistent and stable with a straightforward setup

Pros

"The initial setup isn't too difficult."

Cons

"The most difficult thing that we have to deal with is SSL Hardening. Vulnerabilities are found in various ciphers, getting them removed, identifying them, et cetera."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for securing public internet communications.

What is most valuable?

Just the very functionality of the load balancer has been very useful to our organization. It's been essential for our operations to stay up and stay operational. There have been few problems where a particular node has been offline for whatever reason - yet we've been able to maintain consistently due to the fact that we have five load balances and everything. That's been very effective.

The initial setup isn't too difficult.

The solution has a very good community the surrounds the product. 

The solution has been quite stable over the years we've had it running.

Secure, highly reliable, and scalable

Pros

"Every scenario we have put the solution through it has been able to handle it one way or another."

Cons

"The installation is complex but not more than other competitors."

What is our primary use case?

My organization uses the solution by having the endpoint as the F5 and we run some clear traffic on the private internal network behind it. This allows us not to have to keep the SSL channels open, we do not have to deal with that overhead.

What is most valuable?

I have limited use of this solution but I know we rely on it heavily for our traffic load balancing and security. Every scenario we have put the solution through it has been able to handle it one way or another.

A stable solution with good security features, but needs more cloud features and better support and scalability

Pros

"Its security features are very good. It has normal security, and then it has add-on security with a separate license, which I find very good. It is also very stable."

Cons

"It can have more features on the cloud side because we are moving a lot of servers to our cloud. Its support and scalability also need improvement. Currently, their technical support is slow, and its scalability is complex. It should have integrated SSL decryption with some special machine algorithm to tell us about certain kinds of security issues. Currently, it can decrypt, but it should also provide more information. It can have some kind of algorithm to inform us about how the packets should or shouldn't be. It should inform us when certain things are happening. When users are going to the internet and it sees an abnormal behavior or abnormal type of traffic, it should alarm us about this. It should tell us that there is some kind of strange traffic, and it shouldn't be like that. Currently, it lacks in this aspect."

What is our primary use case?

We did SSL decryption for our F5 load balancer. It is done not only for the server but also for the users who are going outside of the solution.

What is most valuable?

Its security features are very good. It has normal security, and then it has add-on security with a separate license, which I find very good. It is also very stable.
