F5 features

Why is F5 slow in adding additional functionality.

 

Do you know that:

 

  • F5 cannot provide user friendly report for the end device

     

    • AV make/model, updated, OS details and patch status,
  • F5 cannot stop split tunnelling from remote PC. Please do not use the F5 published claim on the Internet.

     

  • What about providing support for a secure container for:

     

    • Business data* Business Applications
  • DLP* Detecting malicious activity at the remote and device….

  • Q1 - I cannot get a sensible report to understand my end point profile. This is needed to estimate the external threat, and then to enforce a policy. F5 is horrible in reporting. Has not addressed this issue since ages. People are using other tool to extract meaningful report form F5. Isn't it a shame? Q2 - Does not support Safari browser. Q3 - F5 has this SSL VPN solution since many years. What new feature has been added? What about giving some logs on the end device activity? What about end device registration, digital certificates, etc.? What about securing information on the end device? What about DLP? What about soft tokens (Just SMS is not sufficient)?
  • Some points are valid but why not contact F5 with your APM module enhancement ideas? Perhaps you have an RFE ID which has not been addressed? BigIP v13 is under development and it might be a great opportunity to ask about the status of your RFE.
