    Reviewed on Jan 16, 2024
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Big IP Virtual Edition does not ensure that skilled IT professionals or those with access to F5 support and training. This needs to guarantee management of the implementation process. The performance and porting capabilities are somewhat limited.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Big IP Virtual Edition needs to provide load balancing and robust security features. There are downsides to consider. It requires configuration. Lacks an intuitive user interface making it time consuming and difficult to work with.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Its pricing is on the side limiting accessibility for businesses. We have incorporated Big IP Virtual Edition into our system to balance the load on our Exchange servers but it failed to do so. It has obstructed our operations.

    Managing the softwares Marketplace service is burdensome. There are some concerns regarding server to server communication limitations and heavy reliance on LBs that potentially impact efficiency through cascading flows.
