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 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 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."
"It has been functional. We don't have any outages."
"Great web balancing and remote access balancing."
"Exchange load balancing and reverse proxy for Skype for Business are key features."
"The most valuable feature that I found is the load balancing feature, it is the core function of the product."
"The DNS Load Balancer makes it so that I don't have to worry about site failures."
"The most valuable feature is the load balancing and allowing for high availability of our web services."
"The performance is good."
"With basic network knowledge, our required system functionality can be configured and maintained."
"The connection that this solution helps our servers maintain has been most useful."
"The features I find valuable in this solution are the ease of managing the logs on the WAFs, the ease to identify break-in attempts into the network, the front-end firewall, and a more specific firewall."
"Loadbalancer.org is less complex than Citrix."
"We now get notifications when pool members go down, and we eliminate our downtime by not sending traffic to downed pool members."
"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."
"Most important for us that it makes sure that the load is distributed and that we always have access to the end servers."
"Certificate installations could be simplified and modernized, and allowed to be monitored for expirations/issues."
"I definitely think that the WAF can be improved."
"Hardware version needs a dual power solution."
"We experienced a brief period of instability."
"I really don't like the way the logs are presented in the software."
"If I had to change something it would maybe be to have a little better reporting graphics that show more details in the reporting. It seems to be a little small in the graphic, and I'm not sure if possible but maybe a GUI page that one can use to monitor if any server goes down."
"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."
"Over the last several major versions, the GUI has remained virtually unchanged and still seems lacking."
"It doesn't have the bonding capability feature."
"The solution can be a bit pricey."
"The configuration is somewhat complicated. Someone who does not know the solution may find this challenging."
"I'd like to see scalability improved; it can be costly."
"The configuration is somewhat complicated. Someone who does not know the solution may find this challenging."
"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."
"The automatic refresh of the System Overview webpage: It sometimes has an extra webpage reload (after a change) before you see it is executed. This can be confusing."
"Loadbalancer.org's complexity could be reduced."
