We performed a comparison between Kemp LoadMaster and Microsoft Azure Application Gateway 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 that allows us to easily disconnect a server when we need and bring back online is the most valuable. It's a click of a button. This allows us to keep all systems up. We can then run updates, perform reboots whatever we need to one of the servers without taking production down."
"The DNS Load Balancer makes it so that I don't have to worry about site failures."
"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."
"It has greatly fortified the performance and uptime of our front-door email ingress, simplified and segmented mail routing, and reduced admin overhead for mail issue resolution and troubleshooting."
"The most beneficial function of using the ADC is to ensure this resiliency."
"The security features are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Using Kemp as a front-facing service appliance, it allows me to have the flexibility of swapping out real servers behind the scenes without any intervention from my network team."
"The pricing of the solution is valuable."
"Good customization; able to report and take action on alerts."
"Some of the key features of this solution are the low-level maintenance required, floating proxy service, and load balancing."
"We find it valuable because it is compatible with our existing Azure solution."
"The production is a valuable feature."
"The solution's integration is very good."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It does an excellent job of load balancing."
"I want to have the ability to pull a particular server. The DevOps portion was challenging for me, like if I needed to redirect from one IP to another URL. I needed to look that up, and the knowledge base is not well organized. When I look for information about Kemp on the Internet, I don't find many articles or something like that."
"Some of the support documentation seems to make assumptions that the person installing or configuring is experienced with the product or concepts."
"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."
"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."
"The GUI is rather technical and complex, so it could be improved by making it simpler and more user-friendly."
"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."
"It has all types of logs and they are very detailed, but it's a little bit hard to search for a single event."
"Some documentation is out of date versus the new version, and things have been moved."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved. Right now, it's a bit expensive."
"The working speed of the solution needs improvement."
"In the next release, the solution could improve the integration with Service Mesh and other Azure Security Services."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway's first deployment is complex. It needs to improve its pricing."
"Scalability can be an issue."
"The support provided for the solution has certain shortcomings that need improvement, especially when it comes to the response time from the support team."
"The tool's pricing could be improved."
"The solution is easy to use overall, but the dashboard could be updated with a better layout and graphical design so that we can see the data a bit easier. Microsoft could also add more documentation. The documentation Microsoft provides doesn't tell us about resource requirements. We found that the instances we had weren't sufficient to support the firewall, so we had to increase them."
