We initially tried using the native routing funcitons in AWS (transit gateway) and in Azure (virtual network). While those native options worked, it became difficult to opeate when we tried to impose security inspection on the routing traffic. This leads us to the Aviatrix …

Definitely use aAviatrix Cloud Network Platform if you are on multiple clouds like AWS, GCP or Azure. Or if you have multiple environments in one of them. Also if you have on-prem infrastructure that you need connected via VPN tunnel to the cloud. As far as I know, Aviatrix Cloud Network Platform is the only one using multiprocessing for those to reach high speeds.
I thought F5 Distributed Cloud App Connect worked great to bridge the gap between our gcp environment and on prem. We were lacking in cloud funtionality for native load balancers but XC really connected the dots. We would most likely need a hybrid environment until the irules functionality improves for a few of our apps but most could be migrated over the XC.
With a few very easy steps to establish routing between AWS VPC
Easy procedures to establish site to site VPN connection with external parties.
Provide network access control on routing traffic using its own build-in firewall inspection or directing traffic to 3rd party NGFW for full stack inspection.
Ease of use - standing up a new site took very little time, less then an hour.
Connecting the dots - the ease at standing up a load balancer and advertising it on CEs was simple and straight forward. Once you get familiar with the field layout it's very comparable to BIG-IP
More of a unified experience as Gartner released their latest sort of sassy trends. A lot of consumers are looking at a more unified experience and that's the sort of compilation of both management and data planes into a single things like single UI, easier management experience for the corporations.
At this point it has become too focal to our operations. An entire department could collapse if we dropped it now or in the near future. My experiences as mentioned in the previous questions tell of its gravity
The core function of the product works very well. It really makes network traffic management easy in public clound, as well as crossing different public and private cloud platform.
From what we have been able to test load/responsiveness is quick and when we've tested out reporting and troubleshooting modules they have pulled the correct information in quick timeframes. We haven't been able to test out any software integration with Splunk of other software on our system since we are still in early POC stages but from what we've been told we should be able to implement that in our environment

Reduce labor hours for network admin to manage public clound network routing policy.
Build-in security features may be good enough for small/medium size companies, and thus saving money from full funciton NGFW solution.
The Cost-IQ feature enable one to capture traffic volume of each VPC. This provides one way for the enterprise to perform cost charge back to various business funcitons at the VPC level.
