Reliable, easy to set up, and can increase your security score

My primary use case of this solution is as a web application firewall Kemp mitigated our cross-scripting vulnerabilities, cookie-related issues, and content security policy issues. Instead of working on each application, we can do everything with Kemp. In addition, using Kemp has raised our site…

Supports link load balance and has good stability

One person can do the configuration for Radware LinkProof, but more people will be needed to complete the configuration on time if you have multiple devices. Some people have a virtual license, while others have a license that needs to be upgraded. Depending upon the location, one or more technical persons are required for the solution's maintenance. Many people use Radware LinkProof, and it is available for small, medium, and enterprise businesses. I would not recommend Radware LinkProof to anyone because it only supports load balance, not DoS and WAF. If you have larger offices in different locations, you can use Radware LinkProof inside your offices. However, if you introduce it in a space open to the internet, you will have to use a separate device for DDoS and WAF. Overall, I rate Radware LinkProof an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I like the way this solution handles multiple SSLs in different domains while still load balancing."

"It is an easy-to-use, user-friendly interface, and you can set up a new VIP in a couple of minutes."

"Load-balancing is a great feature that is very easy to configure and it is always working fine."

"The most valuable features for us are the Load Balancing and Web Application Firewall, as we have a lot of web applications."

"The DNS Load Balancer makes it so that I don't have to worry about site failures."

"We really like the performance of this solution."

"I like that this is a Network Load Balancer that can be used practically with any application in the backend. They have how-to guides on how to set up Kemp NLB with Exchange, but you can use it as well for Sharepoint, RDS, or any other back end server."

"The most valuable feature that I found is the load balancing feature, it is the core function of the product."

More Kemp LoadMaster pros

"Provides good performance and scalability."

"The most valuable feature of Radware LinkProof is that it supports link load balance."

"The most valuable feature of Radware LinkProof for traffic distribution is its DNS management capability."

"The performance and stability are the most valuable features."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

Cons

"Although Kemp is very user-friendly, it lacks a more custom configuration."

"The cost of the GEO upgrade is not cost-prohibitive but it's something that would be a nice add-in, out of the box."

"I want Kemp LoadMaster to provide users with better reporting capabilities in relation to TCP packets. In general, the connections that are present in the system require improvement."

"If there is anything that needs to be updated, the GUI can get a refresh to make it look more like 2020, although it is just a cosmetic change."

"Several elements of the GUI need work. For example, if you have many content switches, it’s difficult to find the ones you need. And where is the search feature?"

"The only thing I have struggled with is setting up automatic backups."

"If you want logging for SMTP traffic, you have to enable ESP, which requires you to define allowed IP addresses. That’s irritating, to say the least."

"We experienced a brief period of instability."

More Kemp LoadMaster cons

"Could have more customizations on the dashboard."

"There are certain features I would like to see in the next release."

"Radware LinkProof's marketing efforts need improvement to raise awareness about its capabilities and compete effectively in the market."

"Radware LinkProof’s customer support could be improved."

"The solution lacks HA configuration."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is yearly and I am going to guess that it is CAN $2000.00."

"The license varies according to the number of megabits."

"The costs for the Kemp Load Balancer solution are okay because, for a good product, you have to spend money."

"They have multiple tiers of licensing and you can upgrade it easily."

"From a cost perspective, Kemp is very competitive and is not hard to justify by any means."

"I have control on the licensing and all the prices since I work for a partner."

"KEMP gives away free trials for 30 days. This can be stretched if you want. During the test, you will have access to KEMP support."

"Currently, no cost is involved with a virtual load balancer. They have used open source. We did not pay for software. We paid for the expertise. We are only paying the consulting charges, which are very reasonable, that is, around a thousand dollars."

More Kemp LoadMaster pricing and cost advice

"Price-wise, the solution is a reasonable one."

"Radware LinkProof is neither cheap nor expensive."
