Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature that I found is the load balancing feature, it is the core function of the product.""We are most impressed with the ease of use and great support.""One of the most valuable features I like is the ability to block specific cipher suites like RC4, and older protocols like SSL 3.0.""It has been functional. We don't have any outages.""The configuration is really easy and the web portal is self-explanatory.""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.""LoadMaster is easy to deploy and understand.""When the templates are used, there is not much left to configure and they just work!"

"The performance and stability are the most valuable features.""Provides good performance and scalability.""The most valuable feature of Radware LinkProof is that it supports link load balance.""It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""The most valuable feature of Radware LinkProof for traffic distribution is its DNS management capability."

Cons
"It has all types of logs and they are very detailed, but it's a little bit hard to search for a single event.""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.""When we go serverless, we may again have to revisit this because the configuration needs to be changed. With this change, we can run into a lot of other configurations that we haven't got into, which involve additional expenses. It would be challenging to convince management to buy at that price point. It would be a balancing act of justifying that expense and the value, that is, how it is going to save a bit of time and make our platform secure. It can have better configuration ability. A lot of iterations happen when we have multiple servers pointing to the same domain. If we do not orchestrate carefully, it gets into a loop, which takes away the precious time of the user who is trying to subscribe to a service. It takes a little longer time to realize services as well as web pages.""UI is very basic and unattractive.""The GUI is rather technical and complex, so it could be improved by making it simpler and more user-friendly.""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.""In the next release, Kemp should include the ability for LoadMaster to create different DNS record types."

More Kemp LoadMaster Cons →

"There are certain features I would like to see in the next release.""Could have more customizations on the dashboard.""The solution lacks HA configuration.""Radware LinkProof’s customer support could be improved.""Radware LinkProof's marketing efforts need improvement to raise awareness about its capabilities and compete effectively in the market."
