They're also quite feature rich and incredibly flexible. Of course that doesn't mean there aren't other vendors that will do for your situation for less money.

Note: F5 charges a lot for other all features. For instance, few thousands for SSL connections, few K for redundant power supply ,few K for SFP GBIC, and etcs. Thanks, Ed PS. Thanks for having this great website. Hi Tony,

Would things like complicated network infrastructure, a programming interface (like F5's iRules), etc., be a concern for you? Tony Hi Kevin,

I have narrowed the list to F5, CISCO, Citrix Netscaler, and Junipers product line. I put together a list of must haves and want to have. I was wondering if you have such a list and if you have any insights to above company’s solutions. Kevin Brennan I have started the process of replacing our RADWARE Load Balancer.
