Featured Reviews

Mohd Farhan - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Good feature set and is simple to deploy
In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else. We sort of stopped deploying them because of that. There are additional costs to the standard licensing. There are bandwidth prices. The feature set is quite good. We've been told to stop using them because of the price. If they can do something to address that I believe it would be better. On the latest version they've got a community edition, which is quite a good bandwidth, but in essence, it's to address the entry-level price. When you get to 10 gig bandwidth, it's way too expensive.

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."
"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."
"We use the solution for internet-exposed websites and internal load-balancing purposes."
"It has very good features. It is very configurable. Security with TLS, et cetera is also very easy."
"It is a very scalable solution in which you can add more servers instantly."
"The tool integrates well with Amazon native services. Its valuable feature is integrations."
"Overall, I would rate the ELB solution ten out of ten."
"The solution offers good load balancing."
More Amazon Elastic Load Balancing pros
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."
 

Cons

"The tool could enhance the internal load balancer with better health monitoring. The external load balancer needs more security parameters to protect it from the internet, as it currently lacks protection. It's okay for basic load balancing and those looking for basic functionality in an application load balancer. However, if someone is going to onboard a critical application, like in the banking sector, I wouldn't suggest Amazon Elastic Load Balancer because of security issues. There are no firewall restrictions."
"They charge for technical support depending on the support model required."
"The ELB would benefit from allowing deployment in a single availability zone for test servers to avoid unnecessary costs."
"The latency compared to the network load balancer could be improved."
"We faced some issues with the health check."
"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 routing policies and waiting policies could be improved for better performance."
More Amazon Elastic Load Balancing cons
"In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost for using the application load balancer is approximately $18 to $21 per month."
"I have no issues with the tool's pricing."
"The solution's pricing is $30 per month."
"The solution's pricing is low and I rate it a nine out of ten."
"There is a yearly license."
"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 solution is expensive."
"The product is not cheap."

Overview

Elastic Load Balancing automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as Amazon EC2 instances, containers, IP addresses, and Lambda functions. It can handle the varying load of your application traffic in a single Availability Zone or across multiple Availability Zones. Elastic Load Balancing offers three types of load balancers that all feature the high availability, automatic scaling, and robust security necessary to make your applications fault tolerant.
