"Barracuda's technical support is good - whenever we have an issue, they immediately connect and resolve it."
"The price is very good, and it's not very expensive."
"The pricing of the solution is valuable."
"It has been functional. We don't have any outages."
"When the templates are used, there is not much left to configure and they just work!"
"Exchange load balancing and reverse proxy for Skype for Business are key features."
"The solution is easy to configure when changing the load balancing method to Round Robin or least connection."
"Failover is seamless and our services are rock solid."
"With Kemp 360 Central, our customers get a nice overview of their Kemp products and an easy way to upgrade firmware on all devices from a single interface."
"The DNS Load Balancer makes it so that I don't have to worry about site failures."
"The quality of the solution's performance could be improved."
"Load Balancer ADC is competitively priced, but it's not feature-rich, and its technology is not that advanced."
"We have experienced at least one problem with stability, although it was fixed with an upgrade."
"Although Kemp is very user-friendly, it lacks a more custom configuration."
"If you want logging for SMTP traffic, you have to enable ESP, which requires you to define allowed IP addresses. That’s irritating, to say the least."
"The only thing that I miss is that the TMG server was giving me live information about who is connected and what is the request about."
"I think there should be more visual instructions on how to configure advanced features."
"I would like to see more automation and control of overactive and inactive resources. If I could schedule these around our updates then it would be all automated. I would like to set up an automated script to coincide with the scripts I use to update resources and servers."
"The auth website of ESP is really lacking. It’s not responsive (mobile friendly) and the procedure of changing the website is difficult. We tend to avoid using pre-auth for that reason."
"The product is really good as-is out of the box. If there is one thing I would change is to have the license file not be coupled with the MAC address of the device. This is actually not really useful in a virtual environment where if you have a single VM with KEMP LoadMaster and you have not set up static MAC Address, if you, for example, recreate the VM and just load the disk file on a new VM it will get new MAC address and the NLB will not work as it will not see a proper license."
