What is F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM)?

F5® BIG-IP® Access Policy Manager® (APM) is an access management proxy solution managing global access to user's network, cloud providers, applications, and application programming interfaces (APIs). F5 BIG-IP APM consolidates authentication for remote users and systems, mobile devices, distributed networks, virtual environments, and web access.

Applications which are unable to support modern authentication and authorization protocols, like SAML and OAuth with OIDC, BIG-IP APM converts user credentials to the appropriate authentication standard supported by the application.

What do you like best about F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM)?

I use this every day to connect to my workspace every day. It is essential for me to do all of my other work. It has been loaded on all company laptops. We are now using it to connect all worker during the pandemic. Without it I could not do my job at all, as it allows me to access files on shared drives on the cloud, and it allows me to use secure applications. Once you are on BIG-IP Cloud Edition it looks just like you are on the network in the headquarters building. I think overall our use of this application has been a big benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM)?

It is sometimes hard to connect to the server. It frequently drops the connection. This can be frustrating, but it may be due to other problems with the cloud. Now that we are all working from home we have to deal with a residential online connection. During the pandemic, there are much more interruptions. We need to be able to log back in quickly which service is dropped. Also, download speeds can be very slow for large files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) solving and how is that benefiting you?

As noted, it frequently drops the connection. Sometimes it can take 5 or 6 times to make a connection. The benefits are connectivity and security. Allows you to telecommute and work remotely which is important in times of COVID 19. We use in conjunction with a number of other systems such as Oracle SmartView, SAP Business Objects, Microstrategy, Tableau etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
