Overall Satisfaction with Kemp LoadMaster

We leverage Kemp LoadMaster for load balancing internal and external systems. We needed a balancing system that was both secure and reliable. We needed something that wouldn't break the bank, but would also provide uptimes needed to meet strict internal and external SLA agreements in place.
  • Secure.
  • Reliable.
  • Low touch.
  • GUI is a bit dated.
  • No "confirm" button GUI.
  • Increased uptime.
  • Simplified patching process.
  • Simplified networking.
Better performance, cheaper, and more reliable.
The product and documentation is very usable. I gave an 8/10 instead of a 10/10 because the GUI can be bit difficult. There are lots of areas where making one click will apply a change. There is no "save" button or "confirm" button. It can be easy to accidently change a production VIP because of this, so great caution must be taken. Other than that, everything is very intuitive and their documentation is very thorough.
I have only had to contact Kemp Support a handful of times. Each time I put in a support ticket, I received a call within 30 minutes. Each engineer I worked with was knowledgeable and had us on a quick path to resolution. I never had to wait or ask for anything to be escalated.

Kemp is perfect for all load balancing. Whether a small internal site, or a public-facing internet site, Kemp is well suited. It handles load balancing well whether it's dealing with tens of thousands of connections, or just a few. There are countless different VIP options you can configure, and the documentation for each is simple and easy to follow.
