Pros & Cons summary

F5 VIPRION [EOL] is highly praised by users for its vertical scaling capability of application infrastructure and SSL upload feature. The system offers several upgradeable module levels and is easy to configure without initial hardware or power issues, though setup can be complex. While lacking next-generation firewall capabilities and requiring product purchase for scaling down, pricing could be more competitive for better market positioning.
