Overall Satisfaction with Kemp LoadMaster
The Kemp LoadMaster is by our enterprise as our Load Balancer/Application Delivery Controller solution. We use it extensively to both manage application load and to obscure the back end devices. We initially used it to load balance simple websites and eventually started using some of the more advanced features to take into account environment performance and health in the delivery logic. Today we use it to deliver all kinds of applications: websites, SharePoint sites, DNS, LDAP, skype, SMTP, and various home grown applications. The Kemps solve our needs for load balancing, reverse proxy, and give us a wide variety of options for health checks in determining which servers are valid targets at the time.
- Setting up new Virtual services is very intuitive.
- Fail over between the VLMs is extremely responsive, they are the 1st devices to know when there is a network issue and it is seamless.
- The individual VLMs are easy to manage, however kemp360 is only really useful for monitoring, not managing multiple VLMs.
- We are far more secure and deliver our content with confidence.
- Far more redundant.
We tested Kemp against F5 and Citrix load balancers. All 3 would have meet our needs, however the Kemp was by far the easiest to set up and configure in addition to being the least expensive of the options looked at. When we had support issues for the POC they were also the only company that treated us like they would a production customer.
