What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Using F5 Distributed Cloud Services eliminates the need for hardware in your data center, resulting in cost savings.
What is most valuable?
F5 Distributed Cloud Services is valued for multi-cloud networking and easy integration with DevOps tools and Kubernetes. It offers comprehensive security, including DDoS protection, API protection, and application protection through a unified console. Multi-cloud networking and API Protection and Discovery are unique features.
F5 is known for being the best load balancer in the market. Customers with an existing module can easily adopt additional modules without investing in new hardware.

The pricing could be adjusted to better meet the needs of typical customers in regions like Poland, where the product is considered too expensive.

I estimate F5 Distributed Cloud Services has been available for no more than two years.

I work with other vendors, such as Broadcom, BeyondTrust, and Qualys.
How was the initial setup?
The cloud version is quick to implement, typically taking a few hours.

From my company, one person is usually enough for implementation. For maintenance, there are four engineers who handle duties between teams.
What was our ROI?
The solution provides a return on investment by eliminating the need for hardware in the data center.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I am not involved in sales, so I do not deal with the pricing aspect directly. I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten since it is not a cheap product.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend the solution for its features like multi-cloud networking and easy integration with DevOps tools. However, cost comparisons with other services show a significant difference.
