EdgeNexus ADC vs f5 Load Balancer
f5 has very powerful load balancers and application delivery controllers. So do we, and not just because we are better value.
Usability - Its easy to use!
- It really is very easy to use
- There is no point In having features that are so complicated that they are never used in production.
- Unlike f5, an average user can configure Edgenexus easily, quickly and intuitively without needing any formal training.
Future proofing - ADP platform
- Nobody can predict the future, and 2020 has taught us to expect the unexpected.
- We have an integrated App store that allows you to build and deploy new applications and functionality In a fast and agile way, thus providing a platform to solve the problems of today and tomorrow.
- Would you buy a computer that can only run a single application or a mobile phone without an app store?
Cost
- The market has moved on since f5's heyday. Even large enterprises are under increasing pressure to deliver better value to the business without sacrificing features or performance.
- We are typically able to save clients 35%-65% of the price of a comparable f5 solution. This is because we are a next generation platform and don't have to support legacy telco technology.
