We performed a comparison between Barracuda Load Balancer 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."The price is very good, and it's not very expensive."
"Barracuda's technical support is good - whenever we have an issue, they immediately connect and resolve it."
"The user interface is very easy to work with."
"Persistence is very valuable. This holds the connection information of the source and that connection is important to RDP and our APO calls. The connection has to be persisted to the original source to operate properly. We also use the subsections for sub-services to create services inside our services for our API resources, this is most awesome. We would not be able to do this without Kemp and offer this type of sub-service to route based on an API instance. It routes the traffic properly based on the sub-service type."
"The configuration is really easy and the web portal is self-explanatory."
"The solution is easy to configure when changing the load balancing method to Round Robin or least connection."
"Managing and maintaining multiple servers is done in a single place."
"We are most impressed with the ease of use and great support."
"The most valuable feature is the load balancing and allowing for high availability of our web services."
"I like the way this solution handles multiple SSLs in different domains while still load balancing."
"The quality of the solution's performance could be improved."
"Load Balancer ADC is competitively priced, but it's not feature-rich, and its technology is not that advanced."
"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."
"UI is very basic and unattractive."
"I really don't like the way the logs are presented in the software."
"The product is really good as-is out of the box. If there is one thing I would change is to have the license file not be coupled with the MAC address of the device. This is actually not really useful in a virtual environment where if you have a single VM with KEMP LoadMaster and you have not set up static MAC Address, if you, for example, recreate the VM and just load the disk file on a new VM it will get new MAC address and the NLB will not work as it will not see a proper license."
"The only thing I have struggled with is setting up automatic backups."
"The ability to see live traffic is not great and can be improved."
"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."
