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 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."
"It is an easy-to-use, user-friendly interface, and you can set up a new VIP in a couple of minutes."
"It has been functional. We don't have any outages."
"We are most impressed with the ease of use and great support."
"The most valuable features for us are the Load Balancing and Web Application Firewall, as we have a lot of web applications."
"We really like the performance of this solution."
"The configuration is really easy and the web portal is self-explanatory."
"The most valuable features are synchronizing email with mobile devices and synchronizing with Outlook."
"The most valuable aspect is the ability to customize the types of load-balancing scenarios needed for customized applications. Some of the load balancers on the market today are strictly out-of-hand load balancers for SSL or HTTP. Radware Alteon is most useful for customizing in-house applications based on ports and protocols."
"The command line interface is simple and very user-friendly."
"I like the concept of self-service, that I can do everything on my own."
"The device blocks threats and allows legitimate users to work correctly."
"The health status information, with its highly detailed reporting, has saved us time on troubleshooting. We have the precise information needed that helps us find different types of situations."
"Radware has been characterized by being extremely robust. This gives us the confidence to offer our users a continuous service."
"The solution has been very stable."

"I really don't like the way the logs are presented in the software."
"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."
"We have experienced at least one problem with stability, although it was fixed with an upgrade."
"We experienced a brief period of instability."
"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."
"In my opinion, the layer seven loads balancing that we're mainly using for web servers, doesn't seem to pick up when there are issues at the application level."
"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."
"We are having a difficult time with the security module, and how to implement the Radware security."
"The interface implementation can be improved."
"You need to have pretty good internal knowledge of the solution."
"The reverse proxy piece is a little bit complicated. If the reverse proxy were easier to implement, that would help."
"Support is very important because if we get good support, we'll be able to sell and supply more numbers."
"We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license."
"Scalability should be based on customer requirements."
"I would like the solution to display and help visualize the reference map more easily. I would also like to better understand where queries come from and know which users are consulting the application, along with which app."
