Why each option
F5 BIG-IQ is the centralized management platform for F5 BIG-IP infrastructure, providing unified SSL/TLS certificate lifecycle management - including inventory, expiration tracking, and deployment - across a fleet of devices.
iHealthy is not a real F5 product; F5 iHealth is a diagnostics and QoS analysis service for BIG-IP support cases and does not manage certificates.
BIG-IQ Centralized Management includes a dedicated SSL Certificate Management module that aggregates certificate inventory from all managed BIG-IP devices, alerts on upcoming expirations, and enables bulk import and deployment of certificates without logging into each device individually - exactly the functionality needed to manage certificates for a large number of secure applications.
GTM (now BIG-IP DNS) handles DNS-based global traffic steering and wide-IP resolution, but it does not provide certificate lifecycle management across multiple devices.
LTM (Local Traffic Manager) can perform SSL offloading and manage certificates on a single BIG-IP device, but it does not offer centralized certificate management across an entire F5 deployment.
