@19c Why? to boost share prices. The investment firm doesn't give a d... about products. What matters is market sentiment, "AI" buzz and Prophet's talks about the bright future. It's ridiculously easy!
If F5 products is that poor, why an investment firm upgraded F5 to Outperform rating? I would like to believe by digesting data.
@jp those software engineers on xc that I dealt with should be added to your list. They are far from blameless.
Like Warren Buffett once said, it takes 20 years to build a reputation and 5 minutes to ruin it. XC has had it's five minutes of fame; the clock ran out last week when F5 the load balancer company caused an outage with load balancers in their so-called "cloud platform". F5 is now a pariah among customers around the world. Next, it becomes a laughing stock and cautionary tale. Leave while you still can!
It’s a broken and unstable product. it seems the customers themselves are now aware of it and they must be concerned ¿
The hours of business downtime caused by XC is equal to how many millions of US dollars at this point ¿.
XC has issues, and those issues are made much worse by "senior" leadership. Lack of decisions, micro management, reactive v proactive, and a hostile attitude toward ICs. I'm not sure you could find a more incompetent and abrasive group of middle management.
@f9 did he have 1:1 with capo di tutti?
FLD visited the volterra place in Italy.
100% success!
You can believe in whatever you want, but if you are talking about XC success, then numbers don’t lie - it very far from BIG-IP revenue, and even NGINX better
U mean XC Mountain Biking, Cross Country Skiing? Yes, believe.
