Kemp LoadMaster vs. Reblaze

Loadmaster is very powerful and flexible load balancer. Variety of options allows to create a complex network of rules and routes. During our website rollout Loadmaster allowed us to run multiple generations of the website simultaneously and seamlessly by doing the content switching on the fly. Powerful API allows easy integration into any development lifecycle.

Reblaze is awesome service with following services which i feel more well suited :- Bot management , easy to integrate and use. DNS and SSL certification management. Easy to integrate Cloud services like Azure, Aws and GCP. i personally found it less appropriate/ hard to use and integrate :- automated resource scaling

• Where the LoadBalancer excels is the multiple levels at which you can load balance servers. We currently use layer 7 LB, but others are available as well.
• I particularly like the ability for the LB to know when servers are down, and if all are offline then you can create a redirect to a static HTML page or some other destination that is more informative.
• The ease in which a service can be created and deployed using already pre-canned templates makes it a very convenient setup process.

Incentivized

• Ability to 'clone' existing Virtual Services for rapid deployment of similar ones.
• A better API for ease of automation.
• Simplification of Certificate management.
• Better explanations of Kemp implementations of industry standard protocols like VRRP (or CARP)
• More control over device factory reset configuration and forcibly breaking HA pairs at boot time

Kemp makes it very easy to setup, configure and manage the LoadMaster without needing a lot of help from their engineers. The interface is very easy to understand and intuitive to use. We like how it is not complicated - I can easily have one of my techs login and they can figure out how to setup/configure virtual services for load balancing without needing a manual or tech support.

Support has been easy to deal with; I have only need[ed] to contact them a few times during setup. Once its been in place and operational, we have not need[ed] to mess with the system [which] is a huge advantage. I like system[s] that do not break and require constant attention in a production environment.

The installation was straight forward. Once i installed it, their technical support team helped me with configuration

We chose Kemp LoadMaster because it is 1/10 the price of the competition and MUCH easier to deploy and configure and WORKS. We have had ZERO issues with the product since installation. Their engineers and their sales team have both reached out post-install to check in and see if everything is working as expected.

none , i wasn't involved in process of choosing this service.

• We used Kemp LoadMaster for many projects. For a lot of customers, load balancers were too expensive or too complicated before we introduced Kemp products.
• It's not a overly complicated product, so we were able to train many engineers on it and have them get a certification.
