We performed a comparison between A10 Networks Lightning ADC and Kemp LoadMaster based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"It allows you to secure the application while balancing the connections for many other customers, reducing CPU usage and server load."
"Our clients appreciate that this is a security enabled solution."
"What I like about Lightning ADC, is that instead of having a big appliance sitting in front of the Kubernetes cluster, Lightning can pretty much go inside of Kubernetes."
"With Kemp 360 Central, our customers get a nice overview of their Kemp products and an easy way to upgrade firmware on all devices from a single interface."
"The Global WAF has saved us more than one time from unwanted traffic."
"The feature I find most valuable is load balancing with different algorithms."
"It helps with efficiency and reactivity, in case of assistance needs."
"The old process of manually having to redirect Outlook Web Access traffic and Email traffic to a second server is a thing of the past."
"The most valuable feature that I found is the load balancing feature, it is the core function of the product."
"Mitigates content security policy issues."
"Great web balancing and remote access balancing."
"The support from A10 should be improved."
"A10 documentation is not as open and accessible as AWS and Azure documentation is."
"We would like to see some improvement in the rapidity with which we can customize security facts within the solution."
"SNMP and/or RESTCONF management, in order to collect many counters, for plotting in a central application need to be improved."
"It would be helpful if there were a way to incorporate tooltips on the fields so that we don't have to dig through documentation."
"It lacks an officially supported, well-written SCOM Management Pack."
"Over the last several major versions, the GUI has remained virtually unchanged and still seems lacking."
"It would be nice if the historical metrics were easily exportable from the interface."
"They were still in the process of development, and for example, we set it up in a cluster. So it was one logistical unit built out of two physical devices. And the expected behavior, which I know from other devices, will be formed into a logic cluster. It's that you configure one unit. Then you bring the second unit into this cluster with the already configured primary unit. So the secondary box pulls all the configured ones from its neighbor, does everything automatically, and then synchronizes with this primary neighbor. And then it works, like, one logical unit. And this didn't work with the Kemp's initially, where they caused a lot of issues when building up a cluster, so there were some specials on how to set this up. When we built or set them up for the first time and the months afterward with no new software releases, there were a couple of problems, but in the end, they worked fine. So, they developed a lot and learned from what they've responded to, what we responded to them, and what needs fixing."
"It has all types of logs and they are very detailed, but it's a little bit hard to search for a single event."
"Third, the password history restriction needs improvement. For example, the password policy will restrict the user to always use a unique password combination. The password should not be reused for a minimum of three generations of passwords."
