Goodbye Complexity.

F5 is powerful, but do you really need a rocketship to cross the road?

Edgenexus gives you enterprise-grade load balancing and security without the heavy overhead, steep learning curve, or price tag.

Compare F5 and Edgenexus

The Same Mission-Critical Resilience. A Better Experience.

Enterprises rely on F5 for high-performance traffic management, but most don’t use 80% of its features.
Edgenexus delivers all the essentials you actually need (and then some) in a platform that’s easier to deploy, easier to automate, and easier to live with. 

With Edgenexus, you get high-performance load balancing that keeps your applications fast, responsive, and always available, even under heavy traffic or unexpected surges.

With Edgenexus, you get built-in security features, including WAF Essentials and advanced threat protection, designed to safeguard your applications from evolving attacks without complex add-ons or extra licensing.

With Edgenexus, you get powerful automation through our visual flightPATH engine, making it easy for any IT team to create intelligent traffic rules without scripting, specialist skills, or the complexity of iRules-style logic.
