Author info | Rating | Review Summary |

Information Security Engineer at BOK | 4.5 | I used Trend Micro Deep Security mainly for virtual patching and IPS on critical servers, and Kemp LoadMaster was easy to set up but had licensing challenges that led us to stop using it despite its good performance. |
Associate Engineer at AST | 4.0 | I use Kemp LoadMaster primarily for its effective security and improved traffic distribution performance. However, update challenges, slow support, and lacking features like DDoS mitigation limit its capabilities. I’m considering F5 for its broader range of features. |
Senior Consultant at a tech services company with 51-200 employees | 5.0 | I use Kemp LoadMaster to replace Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway and balance loads for various applications, including Microsoft Exchange and SQL Server. Its Edge Security Pack is valuable, but better TCP packet reporting is needed. I haven't compared it with Citrix NetScaler. |
General Manager at Seriti Resources | 4.5 | I use Kemp LoadMaster for application load balancing and find it easy to deploy and understand. However, I struggle with pulling a specific server and redirecting IPs, as the DevOps features and knowledge base need improvement. |
IT Director at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | No summary available |
System Specialist at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees | 4.5 | I installed the Kemp LoadMaster as recommended by Microsoft for a major customer to front an exchange platform. While it offers numerous features, we only utilize a small fraction. Initial cluster setup issues were resolved over time. |
Owner at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees | 4.5 | My primary use case for Kemp LoadMaster is load balancing, especially with various algorithms. However, the layer seven load balancing for web servers needs improvement as it struggles with application-level issues. Previously, we used Microsoft's inbuilt network load balancer. |
Solution Architect at ReDoy Corporation | 4.5 | I use Kemp LoadMaster primarily as an application load balancer for web-based software. The solution is well-priced. However, the ability to analyze live traffic needs improvement, and its graphics require enhancement. |
