Manage complex traffic routing with ease and ensure system availability
The ELB would benefit from allowing deployment in a single availability zone for test servers to avoid unnecessary costs. Additionally, the ability to directly block specific IP addresses without additional service integration would be beneficial. Furthermore, sometimes ALB has a delay in recognizing the need to scale the system based on CloudWatch metrics, which could use improvement.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Customer support is good."
"Security and monitoring for high-performance applications are some of the top features."
"The most valuable feature is the Lambda function due to its utility with serverless technology."
"Amazon Elastic Load Balancing transfers the data securely from servers to users and splits the traffic based on peak times."
"Amazon Elastic Load Balancing helps me efficiently distribute incoming application or network traffic across multiple targets, such as Amazon EC2 instances."
"The feature that I like the most is the scalability. The solutions I build often have many pieces, which are very complicated. If a client comes to me with a design, my developer has made this as a template or a cloud formation script. It's a design on paper, and I want it executed a certain way. I can do that quickly and repeatedly with AWS. That is a considerable advantage because I can take that template and do it five times in different zones. That is an excellent feature based on a template, et cetera."
"The solution offers good load balancing."
"The solution is very well integrated into Amazon's services."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the server load balancing. Something that sets this solution apart from other products is that the hardware has a much higher capacity than other vendors. That's the edge of Array Networks. Their technical support services are also very good."
"The most valuable feature is the application delivery control, which includes server load balancing and global server load balancing."
 

Cons

"The latency compared to the network load balancer could be improved."
"Improvements could involve making Amazon Elastic Load Balancing a global service, as currently, it is region-specific."
"Improvement is needed in the integration with Terraform, especially in writing scripts for creating load balancers and target groups."
"The ELB would benefit from allowing deployment in a single availability zone for test servers to avoid unnecessary costs."
"They could improve provisioning speed."
"Sometimes the target group takes too much time to configure or to be seen on the internet, especially when configuring through ISV tools."
"One issue that we faced with ALB was that leaf-level certificate validation was not happening. It is not that user-friendly in that aspect."
"They charge for technical support depending on the support model required."
"Technical support should be better."
"I would like to see more granular reporting and monitoring features, and I believe our clients want to see them as well. Also, SD-WAN would be a good addition."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not cheap."
"The solution's pricing is $30 per month."
"The cost for using the application load balancer is approximately $18 to $21 per month."
"The solution's pricing is low and I rate it a nine out of ten."
"The licensing fees are based on the number of connections one uses. It is a free tool for a certain amount of connections, which runs into thousands, and after that, there is a certain amount to be paid to Amazon."
"I have no issues with the tool's pricing."
"There is a yearly license."
"The solution is expensive."
"I think the price for Array APV is very competitive, and some of our clients are very satisfied when it comes to the price."
