User Testimonials
	Azure Load Balancer	Keysight Bypass Switches
Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft No answers on this topic	Keysight Technologies Well suited for layer two networks where you need physical link monitoring as well as service monitoring. In our case, we monitor the ports and services for FireEye by looping traffic via FireEye, and if that packet is not received on the Ixia after sent it will mark the FireEye down. Not suited for any type of "normal" switching or load-balancing. Incentivized Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Senior Network Security Engineer Read full review
Pros	Microsoft No answers on this topic	Keysight Technologies Link state monitoring Service monitoring of the stub devices Link state propagation Battery backup for power loss Incentivized Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Senior Network Security Engineer Read full review
Cons	Microsoft No answers on this topic	Keysight Technologies Setup is pretty complex Alerting is minimal unless you also purchase the Ixia management server software. Incentivized Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Senior Network Security Engineer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft No answers on this topic	Keysight Technologies F5 while allows the load balancing aspect would not propagate link state as well. Incentivized Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Senior Network Security Engineer Read full review
Return on Investment	Microsoft No answers on this topic	Keysight Technologies While expensive, it has reduced our downtime due to the FireEYE outages and upgrades Increased our cost for the FireEye which is really a negative of the FireEye and not the Ixia.
