AppViewX
Has anyone here ever used AppViewX?
Good/Bad experience?

We had enterprise manager, it is no longer getting updates/etc as it's being replaced by Big-IQ (eventually). EM is basically a glorified archiving appliance with cert notifications.
Big-IQ is still relatively young in development from the latest release I tested, but down the road could be very good. I'm always interested in other solutions, but AppViewX has still been the top (large enterprise) application to manage our F5's. We have at this time 50 devices sitting behind appvx & growing.
They have constant release updates and will create custom ideas you or your users may have. Being able to give access to app owners for their applications only is easily the top thing about the product beside all the other features (scheduled jobs via tmsh or config editor, etc) and device/cert management. It's overall a good product.
You can always request from F5 to try out the latest big-iq VM image to see how far along it is at this time as well :)
