Chose F5 BIG-IP DNS
It integrates well with our existing knowledge base.
Chose F5 BIG-IP DNS
It was my first exposure to F5 products and allows for a variety of environments, from complex to very simple infrastructure.
Chose F5 BIG-IP DNS
F5 DNS is like DNS with out training wheels and data that can help you make real changes and improvements.
Chose F5 BIG-IP DNS
F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM)
Chose F5 BIG-IP DNS
DNS defines IP, LTM received and handles the Traffic, all encrypted
Chose F5 BIG-IP DNS
F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) and F5 Big-IP Advanced Web Application Firewall
Chose F5 BIG-IP DNS
As I mentioned, the GSLB capability, being able to do intelligent DNS by having access to monitor specific endpoints associated to my current BIG-IP infrastructure, I believe that brings a huge value, then combine fast responses and security.

It's well suited. Like I said, it provides us, it provides the clients and the business environments throughout an Internal Revenue Service. The network visibility needed for them to provide their application and the use of their applications throughout the Internal Revenue Service and the enterprise, as far as IRS.

Cons
  • I'd like to see better reporting capabilities on the decision-making process for DNS resolutions. Currently there are plenty of log messages for that, but I'd like to see tighter integration into the GUI.
  • It could be an improvement to better discriminate features intended for AA vs LDNS functionality within the GUI.
