How are customer service and support?

How was the initial setup?
It is easy to set up F5 Advanced WAF. Although, it is difficult to deploy and maintain compared to Fortinet. The deployment process involves gathering customer information regarding virtual servers to be protected. Later, we select the best design suitable for their requirements and start with license provisioning. Further, we configure LTM with special servers and nodes and proceed with configuring the security policy and advanced directory. It takes a week to protect the infrastructure fully. Once we have license provisioning, it is good to run.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
F5 Advanced WAF's pricing is high. Fortinet and some other vendors are more affordable.
What other advice do I have?
F5 Advanced WAF has good capabilities, powerful tools, and professional services. I advise others to compare pricing with vendors in terms of their use cases before purchasing the product.
I rate it a ten out of ten.
