We have a relatively small IT staff for the complexity of our environment, and simple is better. With the help of their support staff (all amazing), we were able to setup and configure and very powerful HA/DR solution. > > **Cons**: I really only have one complaint/issue with the product. Their terminology is confusing. However, once you get the Rosetta Stone to translate what you want to setup into what their name for it is, you are golden. > > We have a very complex environment for our IT staff. Nearly 450 Servers in 4 data centers with 4 domains, supported by an IT Staff of 10. We needed a relatively some and inexpensive solution to tie all of the HA/DR requirements together. They offered a cost effective and simple solution. ----- ### "Great load balancer" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 September 2018* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is quite easy to setup and configure, thanks to the large number of available templates to download. For more complex situations, Kemp Support Team is there and they're really fast and good at what they do. The free version runs almost all the features of the product and it can be used permanently in a test environment or even in production if there is no need for a large bandwidth. It's also possible to have several interfaces in different networks, so one box can be used in different network segments, keeping the traffic isolated. Working with the LoadMaster is pretty much set it and forget it: once configured, it just runs with no problems. > > **Cons**: It doesn't run well in Hyper-V or at least it didn't when I bought it last year. I really don't like the way logs are presented in the software. A lot of the information in the logs is only meaningful to Kemp Support Team. > > I started using the LoadMaster to replace a Microsoft WAP solution that was publishing Exchange OWA and Lync to the Internet clients. Soon it was replacing other load balancer solutions we were using internally. We also have a lot of network devices using static IP configuration and when we changed our domain controllers, we had to re-configure them all manually, one by one. With LoadMaster, the solution was as simple as creating new virtual DNS services pointing to the new DCs. ----- ### "Simple and effective" — 4.0/5 > **Tony** | *25 June 2018* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simple configuration\!\!\!\! With very little experience with the device it is still easy to get it up and running > > **Cons**: HA fell out of sync and was a bear it get operational again. Had to break the devices out of HA clear the config on another and then bring the HA back up from scratch. Not a deal breaker but was anoying > > Easy load balancding for HTTP/HTTPS servers ----- ### "KEMP is an excellent partner for a first time implementer of a load balancer" — 5.0/5 > **Kent** | *19 December 2019* | Semiconductors | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use of the software and instructions provided are excellent. Kemp's professional service is recommended to download and setup your first template. Also the re license for 2020 was made easy with simple instructions sent out by license renewal team. > > **Cons**: The graphs of analytic data for your load balance data could have more options. It would be nice to be able to add more data types in the graphs and expand the time range. > > 2019 was the first time setting up and administrating a load balance for a SharePoint farm. Kemp's professional services, training and assistance made the setup easy. We even had to troubleshoot a connectivity error early in the setup due to us having purchased the wrong type cable and Kemp kept involved until it was correct to our and there standard. License support for 2020 was easy and straight forward which is a pleasant surprise compared to some other companies I have worked with. ----- ### "LoadMaster" — 5.0/5 > **Lewis** | *13 September 2018* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The LoadMaster is easy to implement in a resilient virtual environment. The documentation knowledge base online is very helpful even for advanced deployments. But overall I am most impressed with the level of support, I am always speaking to a knowledgeable engineer who knows how to resolve any issues I encounter. And even if they don't they will continue working with me until we reach a solution together. > > **Cons**: The web UI can be slightly clunky, sometimes you have to manually refresh and even reboot the device specifically when using HA. But if you stick to Chrome the experience it's generally a lot better than other browsers. > > My overall experience has been excellent, our company has been able to move away from Microsoft NLB pretty seamlessly and the support engineers have worked with us to help implement our solution which is less than basic. A functional yet affordable product and also great staff. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/118619/loadmaster?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/118619/loadmaster) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
