The product could be improved with a more intuitive interface for complex configurations and more advanced analytics. Additionally, enhanced security features, like a more robust Web Application Firewall, and stronger APIs for better automation would be beneficial. Overall, the main areas for improvement are in strengthening the advanced features to better meet the demands of large-scale enterprise environments. key features for the next release should focus on three areas. First, an enhanced, next-generation security suite with a more powerful Web Application Firewall (WAF) and integrated bot protection. Second, more advanced and customizable analytics dashboards to provide deeper insights into application performance. Finally, greater support for modern, cloud-native environments, including better APIs for automation and seamless hybrid-cloud traffic management

Quotes from Members

Pros

"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."
"Anyone considering Array APV should not hesitate to use the Array Network because it's very light and easy to deploy and the user interface is very easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature is the application delivery control, which includes server load balancing and global server load balancing."
"Since we started using Kemp, we have become more reliable and have less downtime."
"We are most impressed with the ease of use and great support."
"Kemp LoadMaster is more efficient than the HA Proxy that we used a long time ago; it is an easy-to-use, user-friendly interface, and you can set up a new VIP in a couple of minutes."
"I can sleep at night because of the Kemp Load Balancer, just knowing that in case of a failover, the email will keep flowing and our users will have access in the morning."
"With Kemp, I have been able to implement a global DNS load balancer between two sites for internal and external users with our existing Exchange DAG setup, making DR and BCP much easier to manage and giving me load balancing, SSL offloading, and Edge Security Packages all in one service that is much easier to manage from a day to day and single pane of glass perspective."
"The most beneficial function of using the ADC is to ensure this resiliency."
"Exchange load balancing and reverse proxy for Skype for Business are key features."
"Kemp LoadMaster is the easiest server maintenance application that gives you a high-performance virtual Load Balancer and a Reverse Proxy."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The configuration of the basic services is pretty straight forward but for more complex solutions, there needs to be better documentation or knowledge base articles."
"The GUI is rather technical and complex, so it could be improved by making it simpler and more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more automation and control of overactive and inactive resources."
"In the web interface, there are a lot of settings in the different menus and it would be helpful if there were an interactive help system or tooltips to help the administrators find and configure the right settings."
"It has all types of logs and they are very detailed, but it's a little bit hard to search for a single event."
"It would be very helpful to get all the http/https session logs by default in the log monitor without activating debugging mode like an apache web sever natively does"
"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."
"It would be helpful if there were a way to incorporate tooltips on the fields so that we don't have to dig through documentation."
