Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Using Kemp as a front-facing service appliance, it allows me to have the flexibility of swapping out real servers behind the scenes without any intervention from my network team.""The solution is easy to configure when changing the load balancing method to Round Robin or least connection.""The most valuable features for us are the Load Balancing and Web Application Firewall, as we have a lot of web applications.""Edge Security Pack is valuable because of the way it separates between critical infrastructure and the public internet.""Managing and maintaining multiple servers is done in a single place.""I like the way this solution handles multiple SSLs in different domains while still load balancing.""It has greatly fortified the performance and uptime of our front-door email ingress, simplified and segmented mail routing, and reduced admin overhead for mail issue resolution and troubleshooting.""The user interface is very easy to work with."

Cons
"To make it a perfect ten out of ten it would need better connection logging. If there is an active connection, that there is better logging. It should also have better management monitoring tools.""Some of the support documentation seems to make assumptions that the person installing or configuring is experienced with the product or concepts.""When we go serverless, we may again have to revisit this because the configuration needs to be changed. With this change, we can run into a lot of other configurations that we haven't got into, which involve additional expenses. It would be challenging to convince management to buy at that price point. It would be a balancing act of justifying that expense and the value, that is, how it is going to save a bit of time and make our platform secure. It can have better configuration ability. A lot of iterations happen when we have multiple servers pointing to the same domain. If we do not orchestrate carefully, it gets into a loop, which takes away the precious time of the user who is trying to subscribe to a service. It takes a little longer time to realize services as well as web pages.""It would be nice if the historical metrics were easily exportable from the interface.""They need to improve the UI environment. Currently, it's hard to navigate and use product.""In the next release, they can introduce 360 views in the same dashboard to make it easier for users to view. The graphical information should be displayed on the dashboard.""It has all types of logs and they are very detailed, but it's a little bit hard to search for a single event.""The product could be improved by making the SSL Offloading easier."

More Kemp LoadMaster Cons →

"Could have more customizations on the dashboard.""The solution lacks HA configuration.""Radware LinkProof's marketing efforts need improvement to raise awareness about its capabilities and compete effectively in the market.""There are certain features I would like to see in the next release.""Radware LinkProof’s customer support could be improved."
