Efficient traffic distribution and resource monitoring enhance operational reliability
Although I haven't faced any issues, improvements could involve making Amazon Elastic Load Balancing a global service, as currently, it is region-specific. Simplifying components required for load balancing, such as targets, target groups, listeners, and health checks, could also be beneficial. Ports or listeners present potential security vulnerabilities, so making it free of listeners may enhance security.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Security and monitoring for high-performance applications are some of the top features."
"It is straightforward to deploy."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon Elastic Load Balancing is scaling."
"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."
"It is a very scalable solution in which you can add more servers instantly."
"We use the solution for internet-exposed websites and internal load-balancing purposes."
"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 solution needs to guarantee stability because multiple loads behind a load balancer can cause service unavailability."
"They should improve the solution's pricing."
"The reporting could be simplified so that the client sees a report of what they cached at the end of the month and the number of hits. It should have metrics above and beyond their Google analytics, etc. You can't do that with the solutions from AWS. You have to build sophisticated cloud trails, reports, dashboards, etc. The setup is significant, and it's hard to manage. You'll need to hire someone or pay a consultant on a regular basis to manage it, and it's not for the faint of heart."
"Improvement is needed in the integration with Terraform, especially in writing scripts for creating load balancers and target groups."
"Improvements could involve making Amazon Elastic Load Balancing a global service, as currently, it is region-specific."
"Clients sometimes face issues with Amazon Elastic Load Balancing, and it can take a long time to detect these issues."
"I do not have any notes for improvements."
"It would be good if we had a product that integrates well with third-party vendors. Some of our customers want a multi-cloud solution. They don't want to be tied up to or be in just one cloud."
"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

"There is a yearly license."
"I have no issues with the tool's pricing."
"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."
"The cost for using the application load balancer is approximately $18 to $21 per month."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product is not cheap."
"The solution's pricing is $30 per month."
"The solution's pricing is low and I rate it a nine out of ten."
"I think the price for Array APV is very competitive, and some of our clients are very satisfied when it comes to the price."
