Overall Satisfaction with Kemp LoadMaster

We use our devices as virtual load balancers for Exchange 2016, primarily. We have two sites with two LMs at each site in clusters. We also use the devices as global DNS services and reverse proxy/authentication servers for our external users. Our services are primarily Microsoft products being served. These include Exchange, SharePoint, CRM Dynamics, Skype, and ADFS. We are also looking at implementing websites in the future as required. SSL offloading is enabled. Our devices are set up in the network as well as the DMZ.

Pros

  • Edge security
  • Load balancing
  • Authentication

Cons

  • Dual factor authentication
  • ROI has been high
  • Uptime has increased due to automatic failover.
  • Simplicity for the solution is appreciated.
The Kemp solution is more cost-effective, templates are appreciated and support is always appreciated.
Templates are available from Kemp that makes setup easy. Menu's and settings are logical.
Always quick to respond and I have never had an issue that Kemp wasn't able to fix relatively quick.

ESP gives us peace of mind because it has taken over from Microsoft's Threat Management Gateway (reverse proxy) solution. It also alerts us if there are attempted security breaches so that we can be sure we are safe. The DNS Load Balancer makes it so that I don't have to worry about site failures. As it manages both our external DNS and internal DNS queries, we can failover to the individual sites as required. This is true for site failures as well as planned maintenance. We also use the Kemp 360 Vision, which monitors our services from an external perspective and alerts us via SMS and email, so I know if things go down.
