F5 Remains a Key Enterprise Vendor with Infrastructure and Security Solutions

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

F5's leading install base could make it the first choice for customers pursuing the high growth areas of software and cloud-based solutions for application and traffic management.

Bears

Customers may forgo F5 products as their workloads are deployed into cloud environments, which shrinks F5's addressable market.
