A10 Thunder Hybrid Virtual Appliances is a very workable box. I don't think any of these load balancers are overly discoverable in network management boxes. From what I've seen, all of them are always lacking on integration with MIPs. On a scale of one to ten, there are no 10s. I would probably give a seven or an eight. When you look at A10 in general, they're known for being higher performance with less costs, and they're not going to be as security focused as an F5. Also, their flat pricing structure is good. You don't have to go back and spend money on every license when you enable new features. That's kind of a known thing with the F5, and it was a very big downer when you listened to that spiel. On the other hand, for people who are really into security, the F5 is better than the A10s. If you just want load balancers to function and work as infrastructure, then they function and work quite well.
