Chose Barracuda Load Balancer ADC
We chose Barracuda because we already have other products of theirs. And primarily for the support. Their support is the best we have come across. They help you every step form setup to use to troubleshooting.
Chose Barracuda Load Balancer ADC
The Barracuda Load Balancer is a basic load balancer while the F5 is an application delivery system with full networking capabilities.
Chose Barracuda Load Balancer ADC

Barracuda Load Balancer ADC
Likelihood to Recommend
Barracuda Networks, Inc.
Barracuda is an inexpensive solution for load balancing web traffic of all kinds and works as a reverse proxy if you need one. It is efficient and has been a very stable solution. If you need extremely granular configuration for your load balancing traffic, then you may need to go with one of the bigger brands. Barracuda will more than handle regular small and medium business use and do so at a greatly reduced price point.

Barracuda provided all the standard functionality we needed and were looking for and did so at a greatly reduced price point.
