Find out in this report how the two Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The price is very good, and it's not very expensive."
"Barracuda's technical support is good - whenever we have an issue, they immediately connect and resolve it."
"The security features are the most valuable features of this solution."
"We are most impressed with the ease of use and great support."
"The most valuable features are synchronizing email with mobile devices and synchronizing with Outlook."
"Edge Security Pack is valuable because of the way it separates between critical infrastructure and the public internet."
"The most valuable feature is the load balancing and allowing for high availability of our web services."
"We really like the performance of this solution."
"It has been functional. We don't have any outages."
"It helps with efficiency and reactivity, in case of assistance needs."
"The quality of the solution's performance could be improved."
"Load Balancer ADC is competitively priced, but it's not feature-rich, and its technology is not that advanced."
"UI is very basic and unattractive."
"If you want logging for SMTP traffic, you have to enable ESP, which requires you to define allowed IP addresses. That’s irritating, to say the least."
"It lacks an officially supported, well-written SCOM Management Pack."
"Although Kemp is very user-friendly, it lacks a more custom configuration."
"Third, the password history restriction needs improvement. For example, the password policy will restrict the user to always use a unique password combination. The password should not be reused for a minimum of three generations of passwords."
"We have experienced at least one problem with stability, although it was fixed with an upgrade."
"When we go serverless, we may again have to revisit this because the configuration needs to be changed. With this change, we can run into a lot of other configurations that we haven't got into, which involve additional expenses. It would be challenging to convince management to buy at that price point. It would be a balancing act of justifying that expense and the value, that is, how it is going to save a bit of time and make our platform secure. It can have better configuration ability. A lot of iterations happen when we have multiple servers pointing to the same domain. If we do not orchestrate carefully, it gets into a loop, which takes away the precious time of the user who is trying to subscribe to a service. It takes a little longer time to realize services as well as web pages."
"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."
