We performed a comparison between Kemp LoadMaster and Loadbalancer.org 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."The feature I find most valuable is load balancing with different algorithms."
"Edge Security Pack is valuable because of the way it separates between critical infrastructure and the public internet."
"One of the most valuable features I like is the ability to block specific cipher suites like RC4, and older protocols like SSL 3.0."
"Managing and maintaining multiple servers is done in a single place."
"The most valuable feature so far has been the high-availability options that allowed us to add an additional Kemp LoadMaster VLM virtual appliance into our VMware vSphere environment, to provide failover for our existing LoadMaster."
"We are most impressed with the ease of use and great support."
"The security features, load balancing, built-in templates, and the easy to implement virtual IPs are great."
"It has been functional. We don't have any outages."
"The SSL Layer 7 load balancing is valuable."
"With basic network knowledge, our required system functionality can be configured and maintained."
"Load balancing helps us distribute both incoming and outgoing data loads evenly among the servers, preventing overload on a single server."
"For now, it's stable."
"Existing customers are trying to migrate from the physical F5 load balancer to the AVI load balancer because it is scalable and easily managed."
"It does what it’s supposed to do which is balancing an important intranet site we are using, so if one server dies, the second becomes active straight away."
"It's pretty much a Swiss Army knife for managing all the load balancing techniques."
"The support we have received from Loadbalancer.org has been good."
"There is room for improvement in the stability of the solution."
"Overall, the Kemp LoadMaster has been an all-rounder great product and stable. The free trial and virtual edition make it a breeze for any potential customer to give it a spin before actually deciding to put it on the infrastructure or even talk to the CFO."
"The only thing I have struggled with is setting up automatic backups."
"Perhaps Kemp could offer some training videos."
"In the web interface, there are a lot of settings in the different menus and it would be helpful if there were an interactive help system or tooltips to help the administrators find and configure the right settings."
"Hardware version needs a dual power solution."
"We have experienced at least one problem with stability, although it was fixed with an upgrade."
"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."
"They're mostly designed to balance a particular type of traffic. I wanted to load balance DNS, and they just don't do it the way that we wanted to. So they're not used as DNS load balancers."
"The solution can be a bit pricey."
"It would be great if there was a way to gain access to the graphing data, to create custom reports. If we had a way to use the graphing data, we could use it to present certain information to our client, such as the uptime status for their service."
"If I have to say something, I suppose they could add an automated configuration backup to an FTP location (or something similar) so you don’t have to manually do it. I don’t see this as a problem, of course, as the configuration rarely changes and we only need one backup, but maybe for other users that feature would be handy."
"The automatic refresh of the System Overview webpage: It sometimes has an extra webpage reload (after a change) before you see it is executed. This can be confusing."
"It doesn't have the bonding capability feature."
"The configuration is somewhat complicated. Someone who does not know the solution may find this challenging."
"The configuration is somewhat complicated. Someone who does not know the solution may find this challenging."
