Protection within an APP

  • March 14, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This worked perfectly when remoting in form home. The system ensured protection for both my computer and computer remoting into. The benefit of protecting the companies data, and business, requires thinking about app security first and they excelled. Working for the company 5 years, in a manager role, we never has any security issues using this app. Easy to get in touch with people in support when there are issues. This is also available in any cloud which is a huge benefit as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
There were times it was difficult to log in, not sure if it came from f5 or that company I was working for. The system was slow at times too. This is great for companies with impertinent information. I don't have to many dislikes regarding this app since it was a huge positive for the company.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This allowed us to work from home and provide service to our customers. Helped connect us to our customers! As our mission statement reflected as always on and this app allowed us to hit our mission statement. This also solves problems for people that need to work from home due to illness or any issues of the sort. There is also a ton of training and information on their website for more information regarding best practices, how to use, and environmental concerns.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think you're doing a great job, the only feedback is to make it faster!

F5 has a lot of potential

  • March 12, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
When running smoothly, F5 is awesome. I’m able to access all of the files needed for my business, which is a must have. Makes me feel like I’m in the office sometimes even though I work remotely.
What do you dislike about the product?
F5 has a lot to offer but it could use some improvements. Although it has improved a lot, the constant disconnection hurts as I work remotely and rely on it. I have determined through multiple sources that it is not my ISP but, in fact, F5.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Definitely great because as soon as we login, we have access to all of the applications we need to do our job. Also great to have as a remote user. Without it, I cannot do my job.

F5 AFM works but use F5 WAF instead

  • March 08, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ddos protection simple and out of the box. The concept of protection out of the box was very attractive.
What do you dislike about the product?
dDos protection broke our applications due to timeouts specified in our web application the two were not initially compatable. The URL filters were very hard to implement
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Provides protection to large scale attacks
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be careful use the auto-learning functions and stick to it. Do not go too deep into URL filters as that can cause large sweeping impacts. Be careful if something breaks your application it maybe hard to find.

Waste of time if you want to know why particular traffic is blocked

  • November 08, 2018
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

Why did that particular IP address get blocked?

This is a question I get asked regularly by management. My usual route to the answer is checking for source ip addresses on abuse lists and then reporting on those.

For the rest of the traffic that gets blocked, I can't correlate the rule id that shows up in a log file with a rule name that's understandable by a human.

Yes, humans do still exist and some of them pay our salaries, so we need to let them know what's blocking (in some cases) legitimate traffic to their websites.

In my view, this is the case across the board when using the AWS WAF solution with managed rule groups. This service is not market ready.

It's all well and good saying there's a shared responsibility model but I've yet to find someone with an easy way to work out what rule blocked their traffic.

Not even F5 support or an AWS support person could tell me how to do this.
