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 DNS Load Balancer makes it so that I don't have to worry about site failures."
"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."
"The most valuable features are synchronizing email with mobile devices and synchronizing with Outlook."
"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."
"It is an easy-to-use, user-friendly interface, and you can set up a new VIP in a couple of minutes."
"The feature I find most valuable is load balancing with different algorithms."
"Mitigates content security policy issues."
"We now get notifications when pool members go down, and we eliminate our downtime by not sending traffic to downed pool members."
"It's pretty much a Swiss Army knife for managing all the load balancing techniques."
"For now, it's stable."
"The performance is good."
"Load balancing helps us distribute both incoming and outgoing data loads evenly among the servers, preventing overload on a single server."
"Most important for us that it makes sure that the load is distributed and that we always have access to the end servers."
"It helps us to route the traffic to the available servers. If we didn't have Loadbalancer we would fail to set the end-user and it would cause a failure in the cluster."
"Loadbalancer.org is less complex than Citrix."
"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?"
"Over the last several major versions, the GUI has remained virtually unchanged and still seems lacking."
"I would like to see more automation and control of overactive and inactive resources. If I could schedule these around our updates then it would be all automated. I would like to set up an automated script to coincide with the scripts I use to update resources and servers."
"SNMP and/or RESTCONF management, in order to collect many counters, for plotting in a central application need to be improved."
"It has all types of logs and they are very detailed, but it's a little bit hard to search for a single event."
"It would be much easier to have the management interface directly integrate with the Kemp Support library, allowing you to choose the desired template from the online catalog to then directly download to the LoadMaster."
"The only thing I have struggled with is setting up automatic backups."
"The GUI is rather technical and complex, so it could be improved by making it simpler and more user-friendly."
"An area for improvement in Loadbalancer.org is that sometimes it works fine, but sometimes, it has issues. The setup for Loadbalancer.org is also complex, so that's another area for improvement."
"The solution can be a bit pricey."
"Possibly a more graphical overview page (with colors) to give a two second overview to see if everything is working fine."
"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."
"I'd like to see scalability improved; it can be costly."
"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."
"I would like it if Loadbalancer had the ability to make rules for specific shared bots."
"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."

No experience with Loadbalancer.org, but having had experience with both F5 and Kemp, I would recommend Kemp by a mile. Their support org is first class and super responsive.
