F5 Silverline Managed Web Application Firewall (WAF)

Working with F5 Silverline Managed Services provides similar functionalities to Radware, having multiple tools like DNS, DDoS, LTM, and other capabilities. LTM is for the ADC and F5 Silverline Managed Services WAF as well, but it is very simple.

I previously worked with Radware. Currently, I work with F5 technology.

I am currently working with F5 technologies including the ADC tool and application delivery tools, focusing on load balancing, application firewall, DNS, and SSLo. There are multiple tools and technologies, each having their modules. All operating systems are the same but license-based, distributing the service.

F5 Silverline Managed Services is globally recognized, and most companies are using F5 tools for application delivery, firewall, and application firewall, similar to Radware. Another tool that is in demand is SSLo, which distributes the service and manages SSL offloading tasks. This is beneficial.

What I appreciate about F5 Silverline Managed Services is that it has multiple features. We have iRules for traffic distribution, which is unique because no other application provides this type of technology. F5's load balancing with iRules is the best, as many companies do not utilize iRules.

Managing threats is facilitated by having multiple functionalities, such as a bot policy and DoS policy. Each policy has a different profile we create and can monitor accordingly. While managing multiple technology applications can be challenging, we create whitelisting URLs and have multiple options, which is beneficial.

In F5 technology, we have multiple options for fine-tuning the policies compared to Radware because Radware is specific to policy tuning and functioning. With F5 Silverline Managed Services, there are multiple functionalities; we can create custom attack signatures and other capabilities. We have multiple technologies and evasion techniques for mitigation.

The ability to inspect vast amounts of traffic efficiently depends on the CPU and memory allocated to the device for different model numbers and versions.

The impact of F5 Silverline Managed Services' adaptable and flexible security on our organization's threat response time is significant, using multiple web application technologies such as WAF for monitoring end-to-end, including SSL offloading at various levels.

F5 Silverline Managed Services brings many benefits, being a global device. For troubleshooting, their knowledge base articles are helpful. If we encounter issues, we can search keywords and find solutions. Their support teams provide valuable assistance.

The disadvantages of F5 Silverline Managed Services in comparison to Radware include complexities in WAF technology and iRules, which are highly useful. Radware provides straightforward blocking WAF and TPS, which are important features that are easier to implement.

I have worked with F5 Silverline Managed Services for almost four to five years.

F5 Silverline Managed Services has been used to ensure business continuity and protect customer-facing applications from downtime and security breaches. During a volumetric DDoS attack on an e-commerce portal in my company that occurred during a seasonal sales event, F5 Silverline Managed Services performed very well. Normally, this kind of traffic spike would overwhelm the service and cause downtime, but F5 Silverline Managed Services kept the customer-facing application online even under heavy attack traffic.

The best features F5 Silverline Managed Services offers include DDoS mitigation and a Web Application Firewall. These features stand out because of their effectiveness, speed of response, and the balance between automation and human oversight. The layered defense and DDoS consistently block attacks without disrupting legitimate traffic, and the reliability is what makes them shine.

F5 Silverline Managed Services has a very positive impact on my organization. The business continuity application stayed online even during large-scale DDoS attacks, meaning customers never experienced downtime and the new streams remained intact. Specific outcomes and metrics resulting from using F5 Silverline Managed Services include reduced downtime during the major DDoS attack on the e-commerce portal, improved customer satisfaction since customers never saw the attack, and maintained trust and confidence. Post-event surveys showed a five to seven percent increase in satisfaction scores related to reliability.

I did not evaluate other options before choosing F5 Silverline Managed Services.

If someone is considering F5 Silverline Managed Services based on my experience, they should decide what their priority is, whether it is DDoS protection, WAF, compliance for SOC, and remember that the monitoring reporting dashboard is great. The reporting features should be used to track attack metrics and mitigation results.

The reporting dashboard makes it easier to show later the financial and reputation impact, avoiding issues. This transparency is often overlooked but critical for executive buy-in.

Silverline shields the stream, silent stream behind the screen, attacks dissolve, trust remains, revenue safe, no downtime plains. I have given this review a rating of eight out of ten.

I primarily use F5 Silverline Managed Services as a cloud security system for our website. It provides a Web Application Firewall, which helps us detect malicious bots and malicious attacks on our website and also helps us keep our email secure, which protects us from phishing emails. I basically use it as a cloud security system in our organization.

One great thing about F5 Silverline Managed Services is that it provides DDoS protection, and the protection is available 24 hours, 365 days a year, seven days a week. The Web Application Firewall helps us against different API attacks, phishing activities, and malicious bot activities. It detects different bots and websites before they reach our website and helps us keep our email secure. Whenever I forward any phishing email, it helps us detect and delete it immediately. I would say F5 Silverline Managed Services offers a first layer of protection.

One thing that stands out about F5 Silverline Managed Services is the DDoS protection that it provides, which is available 24 hours, 365 days. The service is a layered offering, so it scrubs all different volumetric attacks, which is very much advantageous in this day and age.

One of the best features that F5 Silverline Managed Services offers is the Web Application Firewall and also the bot and fraud defense that it provides. These are the two best features according to me.

One immediate result that I have noticed from the Web Application Firewall and bot and fraud defense of F5 Silverline Managed Services is that many false leads, false bot websites, or bot attacks that happened on our website earlier are being greatly stopped. I am seeing an improvement of about 30% in our overall efficiency and performance of the website, which has helped us get more sales. I would say it is indirectly related to our sales, but I have seen a 30% efficiency improvement in our website performance after the introduction of F5 Silverline Managed Services.

One thing that was a hassle for us regarding F5 Silverline Managed Services was the deployment of this particular software. The deployment is completely done from their team, and it took about 15 days for it to be completely deployed, which was a tedious process for us. Perhaps that could have been shortened, but apart from that, feature-wise, I do not have any complaints. Everything is excellent with the software.

The onboarding process of F5 Silverline Managed Services took a lot of time, but apart from that, I do not have any complaints.

Everything is great with F5 Silverline Managed Services. Perhaps the integrations with other F5 tools could be better for me to have a centralized view of all F5 offerings. Apart from that, I do not have any complaints with regards to F5 Silverline Managed Services.

I have been using F5 Silverline Managed Services for about a year to 14 months.

So far, I have not seen anything suspicious with its accuracy or output. Everything is consistent and good, which is what I also want from this. It is very consistent.

The 30% efficiency improvement has definitely resulted in increased revenue for us. With our website performing much better, I am able to achieve faster cycle times in terms of lead to conversion. It has indirectly helped our sales grow, which is directly related to our revenue. Our revenue has grown substantially after the introduction of F5 Silverline Managed Services.

I would urge others looking into using F5 Silverline Managed Services to obtain the services immediately for their organization and website, because data threats are real issues right now. Businesses that invest in data security and cloud security have higher chances of achieving higher revenue, which I have been able to do. I would suggest starting to invest in this area to see more returns in your business.

F5 Silverline Managed Services is excellent software, and in my opinion, it is very much needed. The level of security that it provides is unmatched in the market. The 24/7 support that it offers is also very good. I would urge everyone to start using it. I give this product a rating of 10 out of 10.

I work with F5 Silverline Managed Services, and I'm doing the presales engineering of that product, which is a WAF solution.

F5 Silverline Managed Services, a Web Application Firewall solution, is used for protecting web services. Organizations put that product in front of web services to load balance the traffic and create a secure environment, especially for web services operating in HTTPS.

The best aspect of F5 Silverline Managed Services is its two-way security environment for web services. One part is positive security, which allows you to know vulnerabilities in depth, and you can implement CAPTCHA and MFA for logins, while also preventing known threats with included signatures.

F5 Silverline Managed Services utilizes real-time threat intelligence; the traffic flows through the product, allowing us to see all the traffic in clear text, which enables real-time intelligent threat signature analysis and supports a learning mode for codebase evaluation.

The adaptable and flexible security can help prevent threats in learning mode, but admins need to be cautious about false positives that could affect production due to unrecognized vulnerabilities.

One negative aspect is that the product is expensive.

I have been selling F5 Silverline Managed Services for about two years.

Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week expert support is available for F5 Silverline Managed Services, and while the product mostly has no issues, configuration problems largely arise from customer misunderstanding, leading to cases opened for configuration aspects where AI has become increasingly useful.

The installation is easy; if the admin has some basic network and website knowledge, anyone can set up that product without too much difficulty.

F5 Silverline Managed Services is recognized as one of the best solutions in Gartner for WAF; I believe it can effectively manage vast amounts of traffic better than other brands like Citrix or FortiGate's WAF solution.

If the company is a government entity, they primarily use the hardware solution; smaller companies mostly utilize the DVM solution.

The deployment model does not affect visibility and control over security; the difference is only in performance.

The performance is generally good; it depends on the topology, but if the topology is okay and the product is efficiently used, it's acceptable.

I would rate the scalability of F5 Silverline Managed Services as a nine.

I would rate technical support as a seven point five.

I rate technical support as seven because F5 Silverline Managed Services lacks a TAC team in Turkey, which means escalation takes time, and I don't typically give high ratings to any vendor.

I rate this product an overall eight.
