    I recommend it as a WAF, but not as a CDN. There are better CDNs, in my case I use transparentCDN (now www.transparentedge.eu) and Edgecast (now Verizon CDN).

    Cons
    F5
    • The support model needs a quite a bit of work. I personally have experienced an outage on the platform. due to mis-configureation Although the outage was due to engineer error it took over 2 hours before we were able to speak to an engineer
    • Proxy v2 protocol to allow our organization to capture and view the source IP address

    • CDN functionalities are secondary and cannot be compared to a top-level CDN.
    • The WebGUI interface of the dashboard is very improvable. They have been changing the UX for years and it is disjointed and with services that have not yet been migrated.
    • The analysis of WAF attack logs is insufficient. It is difficult to analyze attacks of past hours, event filters are missing. It is complicated to analyze the chronology of an attack.
    • There are extra modules to improve the attack logs analysis but they are expensive and add little.

    Performance
    F5
    Overall, F5 Distributed Cloud Network Connect is responsive and has many features. There is minor clunkiness in how certain scroll bars are layered. This may cause some adverse experience when trying to manage this product through a zoomed browser. Page loading and refresh timers were all very much responsive. There is a good amount of feedback from the interface as well.

    This software as a service (SaaS) links, divides, and protects network traffic over one or more edge sites, data centers, and public clouds. It offers the adaptability needed to operate across many transit choices, such as the F5 Global Network, private corporate networks, and cloud provider linkages. Additionally, faster time to resolution and more effective issue management are achieved by end-to-end monitoring and troubleshooting.

    • It's an expensive product if you have a lot of traffic volume, but I feel confident with their WAF.
