Decided to go for v12.1 because of ASM security features, iControlREST enhancements, and general performance optimizations. I believe most F5 customers will end up using v12.1. There's no reason not to.

 

Most banks and other conservative/pro-ITIL institutions will probably want to wait till HF1 before opt-in. The upgrade from v11.5.x to v12.1 is pretty smooth, have noted only a few recurring conflicts so far (ASM/LTM/GTM-provisioned boxes mostly).

 

Have a look at these articles for notable new features
