    Chose F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM)
    It is open platform so support is not good and than F5 and features visibility as not good as F5.
    F5 Set up and easy to use to admin console.
    Also have more feature visibility for load balancing, web server accelerator, application server ddos protection and WAF.
