Great load balancers for the cost. Watch out for potential sudden steep price changes, though.

5,0 6 anni fa

Commenti: Great load balancers for our Microsoft Exchange mail systems at an affordable cost.

Aspetti positivi:

Very flexible and affordable load balancers. They work great, with very little hands-on maintenance required to keep them running smooth.

Aspetti negativi:

Kemp unexpectedly raised the prices on their maintenance plans, and they now cost double what they did a few years ago. This was quite a shock to us since we had not received any sort of warning that their maintenance prices were going to be increased, and they had no flexibility on this price change. We had already budgeted for the maintenance renewal based on a budgetary quote they gave us a few months before the price change, and as a result we had to go severely over budget in order to keep our equipment covered.

Reasonably pricey, but customer support is excellent

5,0 5 anni fa

Commenti: Our high load solutions are very scalable; enabling HTTP/2 was literally checking a single checkbox.

Aspetti positivi:

The KEMP load balancers just work. For our purpose where we have about 25.000 concurrent users working on various web applications, it's a simple and easy solution that makes the entire application much more scalable.

Aspetti negativi:

The KEMP has a built in feature to do caching. I would like to be able to specify exactly which file types I want to specify; KEMP has it the other way around where you can specify certain things NOT to cache. Also, the way to temporarily disable real servers is a bit weird; you can disable a real server, but the system will keep sending existing users to that server, yet it won't show in the statistics how much traffic is going to the server.

Best value and support that I have seen in a long time!

5,0 5 anni fa

Commenti: Took only a few hours to set up and now it just runs and we forget about it!

Aspetti positivi:

The virtual load balancer was inexpensive and very easy to install and create/use but the technical support is excellent! I emailed a setup question in for the free trial load balancer and received a answer within an hour! I was then asked to do a remote session so they could check what I had done so far and also offered the help finish the setup! I elected to finish on my own to learn the software and the support tech would email me asking for updates and if I needed any additional help all the way through the trial and licensing of the complete software! This level of support has not been seen in years, please keep it up!

Aspetti negativi:

So far have not been able to find a single con.

Good product, needs to be setup properly and will work as expected

4,0 7 anni fa

Commenti: We improved outlook performance and stability for the end users, during daily business but also reduce service interruptions during maintenance windows. The load master is built as a virtual appliance and we set it up in a cluster, so that it is fully redundant. We are looking into using it also to balance other applications, which Kemp can do as well.

Aspetti positivi:

KEMP have a partnership with Microsoft in order to load balance Exchange which was a great plus for us while selecting the right product since we wanted mainly to loadbalance Exchange for the Outlook client in order to minimize interruptions during maintenance windows or simply to balance connections. The great thing is also that the virtual appliance allows you to load balance your application but without the need of adding hardware to your datacenter. this is a great approach and the technology has proven to work as expected without issues.

Aspetti negativi:

There is a well written administration guide which needs to read extensively before setting up services. This is not a product where complexity is taking away from the administrator. Lots of options, sometimes a matter of try and retry before all works. UI could be improved.

This product is better because check not only layer-4, but layer-7.

I can setup it very easily, but it knows very complicated check too. I'm very satisfied the Support Team, they always helped very quickly and helpfully.

Commenti: Easy to use and affordable loadbalancer with ongoing development and support.

Aspetti positivi:

Very easy to use. Configuration options follow a logical flow. Monitoring options provide useful information.

Aspetti negativi:

Would be nice to have options to sort or search the information on the statistics menu. Was difficult to come up with something I could say is an issue...

Great product

5,0 6 anni fa

Aspetti positivi:

The LoadMaster is easy to setup, it is almost impossible to make a mistake. And when we have questions we usually get a response within a couple of hours. Very good support.

Aspetti negativi:

They need to work a bit more on the user interface when you have many SSL certificates. The list is unclear, and that bit of the GUI just doesn't work too well. I understand most use cases have only one or two certificates, we have over 30 per virtual host. But they should be able to work on that.

Excellent product and value for money

5,0 6 anni fa

Aspetti positivi:

The user interface is very straight forward and does not need any special knowledge to configure. Also it is very flexible and there are a lot of customization you can do to address most of our needs. In addition the support is immediate and to the point so I consider KEMP as very reliable. I have been using KEMP from 2012 and had no issues whatsoever and all services were 99.99999% up.

Aspetti negativi:

Transparency to the connection is a bit complex to achieve.

Great load balancer

5,0 6 anni fa

Commenti: I started using the LoadMaster to replace a Microsoft WAP solution that was publishing Exchange OWA and Lync to the Internet clients. Soon it was replacing other load balancer solutions we were using internally. We also have a lot of network devices using static IP configuration and when we changed our domain controllers, we had to re-configure them all manually, one by one. With LoadMaster, the solution was as simple as creating new virtual DNS services pointing to the new DCs.

Aspetti positivi:

The software is quite easy to setup and configure, thanks to the large number of available templates to download. For more complex situations, Kemp Support Team is there and they're really fast and good at what they do. The free version runs almost all the features of the product and it can be used permanently in a test environment or even in production if there is no need for a large bandwidth. It's also possible to have several interfaces in different networks, so one box can be used in different network segments, keeping the traffic isolated. Working with the LoadMaster is pretty much set it and forget it: once configured, it just runs with no problems.

Aspetti negativi:

It doesn't run well in Hyper-V or at least it didn't when I bought it last year. I really don't like the way logs are presented in the software. A lot of the information in the logs is only meaningful to Kemp Support Team.

Stable loadmaster

4,0 6 anni fa

Aspetti positivi:

Fast and pretty clear interface. Software is stable as well.

Aspetti negativi:

Some options need a little more explanation and more options and customization on the alerts would be helpful. Like don't send an alert for specific machines or only if it's down for a certain amount of time.

KEMP is an excellent partner for a first time implementer of a load balancer

5,0 5 anni fa

Commenti: 2019 was the first time setting up and administrating a load balance for a SharePoint farm. Kemp's professional services, training and assistance made the setup easy. We even had to troubleshoot a connectivity error early in the setup due to us having purchased the wrong type cable and Kemp kept involved until it was correct to our and there standard. License support for 2020 was easy and straight forward which is a pleasant surprise compared to some other companies I have worked with.

Aspetti positivi:

Ease of use of the software and instructions provided are excellent. Kemp's professional service is recommended to download and setup your first template. Also the re license for 2020 was made easy with simple instructions sent out by license renewal team.

Aspetti negativi:

The graphs of analytic data for your load balance data could have more options. It would be nice to be able to add more data types in the graphs and expand the time range.

Good product and support

5,0 5 anni fa

Commenti: The LM-X15 did a good job to balance the traffic to our SharePoint front end servers.

Aspetti positivi:

The pricing of the load balancer and support subscription is affordable for a small-sized company. The LM-X15 meets our need to balance the SharePoint front end servers, and their support rep is knowledgeable.

Aspetti negativi:

The LoadMaster portal is great to use and contains the useful information about our front end servers, but the UI could be improved a little.

LoadMaster

5,0 6 anni fa

Commenti: My overall experience has been excellent, our company has been able to move away from Microsoft NLB pretty seamlessly and the support engineers have worked with us to help implement our solution which is less than basic. A functional yet affordable product and also great staff.

Aspetti positivi:

The LoadMaster is easy to implement in a resilient virtual environment. The documentation knowledge base online is very helpful even for advanced deployments. But overall I am most impressed with the level of support, I am always speaking to a knowledgeable engineer who knows how to resolve any issues I encounter. And even if they don't they will continue working with me until we reach a solution together.

Aspetti negativi:

The web UI can be slightly clunky, sometimes you have to manually refresh and even reboot the device specifically when using HA. But if you stick to Chrome the experience it's generally a lot better than other browsers.

Aspetti positivi:

- nice features. Kemp supports a lot of protocols. - good online documentation - customer support is awesome

Aspetti negativi:

I think that logging needs to be improved. Now, all logs go to one file. when it is too big, it is hard to use it. There is no log rotation or archiving

LoadMaster VLM - Fantastic Virtual Web Load Balancer

5,0 3 anni fa

Commenti: We are using it to load balance one of our mission critical apps.

Aspetti positivi:

The ease of use and setup. It's a virtual appliance that you import into VMWare and it installs and works quickly and easily. The setup is simple and once you have it running, it just works.

Aspetti negativi:

The support Web site they have set up for downloading updates is a little janky, and finding and updating the software for the VLM isn't the easiest. Plus the virtual appliance Web management interface doesn't have a log out option.

Kemp Loadmasters are easy to deploy and extremely cost effective, when compared to the bigger players. Purchased the virtual appliances and had them up and running in the environment in a very short amount of time.

Have always had good luck with both Kemp VLMs and KEMP Physical Load Balancers

5,0 6 anni fa

Commenti: Easy of use, used with exchange server farm to provide continuous service even if a server needs to be taken down for maintenance.

Aspetti positivi:

Easy to set up , secure, and very affordable. With the Kemp templates., workloads can be deployed in very short amounts of time.

Aspetti negativi:

I can't think of any major cons for the Kemp. The only catch would be it would be nice to have integrating with LDAP for Admin users on the box.
