"BIG-IP LTM's most valuable feature is that it allows you to seamlessly add more servers without impacting your application's configuration."
"Secure and scalable traffic management solution for applications. Good for bigger environments."
"Its user interface is very easy to use on a day-to-day basis. It is very user-friendly."

"The detail that you have available when setting up iRules."
"The user interface should be improved as it is not very easy to work with the updates."
"One limitation is that it's harder to provide access to multiple applications in the company with Appgate, but that's probably because of poor management."
"They could provide a single-box solution to manage tools for 4000 users. Additionally, they could add extra features to enhance remote micro connection."
"On the cloud, when you make some changes, it may be difficult."
"One thing that kind of sticks out to me is the ability to do a proper non-split tunnel. VPN tunnel-wise, it is not really a true unsplit tunnel, but I think that's just because of the way it's designed. A split VPN basically allows your system to talk to other systems without being forced down the tunnel. A VPN running in a non-split tunnel mode forces all the traffic down the tunnel to wherever you're VPNing to. It forces the traffic down so that the traffic is subject to the firewall and rules that you have in your corporate environment and such. It helps to prevent remote malicious folks that may be talking directly to that box from piggybacking into the corporate environment through it. They do it partially, but it would be nice to see more of an enterprise-level solution there."
"It would be better to connect to an application portal from any device. Documentation and support could be better."
"I would like there to be more device security. I would like the tool to support SSL links, along with SSL and TLS."
"The cost of the solution is pretty high. It would be ideal if it was more reasonable."
"The solution could improve the documentation."
"Logging is a bit of a problem. Logging and monitoring are only in plain text. You have to search and you have to know what you are searching for to find anything. So of course, monitoring and getting alerts for abnormal situations is hard. There are no tools for monitoring and alerts"
"The SharePoint SSO part has some room for improvement."
"The analytics should provide insight into latency across various traffic routes and virtual servers."
"Its scalability and deployment should be better. It should be more scalable, and it should be easier to deploy."
"Technical support could be improved."
