F5 AFM vs NG FW

Gents,   I have a question for you.   We have a F5 AFM/LTM facing the internet, and a new FW NG will be provisioned soon for end users. There is question whether or no the F5 should be next...

I am provisioning a NG FW in an environment that has F5 LTM+AFM facing the internet. I have considered an internal NG FW and another external NG FW.

 

The point is, if I have already an external NG FW, I would not need the F5 AFM module because the NG FW will do that work. Provided that the F5 LTM is behind the NG Firewalls.

 

Let me know what do you think.

Thanks,

Edouard.
