    I believe it covers everything related to the applications' security aspects, but there are a lot of improvements that need to be made. For example, better granular controls like bot categories listed on the distributed console and a granular URL-based control for the rate-limiting option are needed.

    F5
    • It auto-discovers APIs, even the ones engineers forget to document. Then profiles them without needing changes to our codebase.
    • Shadow API exposure.
    • It's pretty decent at abnormal behavior detection.

    Cons
    AppSentinels

    F5
    • More accurate detection of advanced persistent threats (APTs) targeting APIs.
    • A greater emphasis on checking APIs' schema and contract may prevent them from accepting misconfigurations or malicious input.
    • More customized, dynamic, and targeted protection for high-value APIs or high-risk user groups.

    Great product. Working with F5 for many years, we found the products F5 provided are all cutting edge technology. Although in F5 Distributed Cloud API Security we still have a lot to find out, but we believe this experience will be very good. Especially on the security side. Trust in F5.

    We ran a short POC with Salt. Its data classification and attack replay features were impressive. What held us back was the limited support for hybrid deployments and poor integration into our CI/CD pipelines, as F5 did.
