Protects web applications with comprehensive security features
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
All features are valuable. In a multi-cloud or distributed cloud, there are many protection possibilities from data to web application or API protection, including bot mitigation. This is a comprehensive package for web application security. The main benefit is Web App Security, offering a complete security package from DDoS to web application firewall, API protection, and bot mitigation.
What needs improvement?
It's a long way to be perfect, of course, as with all solutions. The main issue is integration with other parts or products of F5, like on-premise WAF. There are some problems, mainly from the perspective of implementation and customer expectations, which sometimes differ from reality.
For how long have I used the solution?
I worked for an F5 partner, not as a customer. We used the Services line for DDoS protection. It was the main use case for Silver Line for about one and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There are compliance issues, mainly if a customer wants something that isn't possible, yet not with the functionality.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I have had no problem with scalability yet, so it's good.
How are customer service and support?
From my point of view, support is responsible and okay.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
Distributed code is easy to set up. If rated on a scale from one to ten, where ten means very easy, I would probably rate it a nine.
What other advice do I have?
For those who want to use Azure Cloud Services, consider implementing it. It's pretty good. From my point of view, it's easy to set up and offers strong functionalities.
The overall product rating is nine out of ten.
