Hi All
Just want to know the review/testimony from F5 BIG IP Virtual Edition users.
- how about performance?
- how about troubleshooting support from F5?
- how about stability/reliability?
- any issue or limitation?
your feedback much appreciated

Hello,
performance depends on the resources you allocate to your equipment. but in any case the use of hardware is always more robust in terms of performance.the hardware part allows to do some operations with dedicated asic (compression, acceleration, SSL decryption, ...):
Message from F5 (Salim): Software is the same (TMOS and modules). Obviously physical connectivity (interfaces, trunks) are not relevant in a VE environment. Performance is the major difference of course. There is a throughput limitation on VEs based on the hypervisor you are using, the TMOS version of your VE and the license you purchased.
The solution is stable and reliable, the fact to pass in VE does not affect the stability of the product.
You could have CCU limitations for APM, or SSL TPS limits based on your license for instance. Best is to speak with your F5 Account Team.
Regards,
