Cons
F5
  • To be able to schedule software updates at a later time/date to meet change management window so manual intervention is minimized. F5 BIG-IQ Centralized Management should be able to send alert if upgrade process halts or fails for any reason.

Usability
F5
It may be due to how we deployed it or how we use it, but it adds time to doing small changes. I do like the deployment detail and change tracking though.
