We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Barracuda's technical support is good - whenever we have an issue, they immediately connect and resolve it.""The price is very good, and it's not very expensive."

More Barracuda Load Balancer ADC Pros →

"The support we have received from Loadbalancer.org has been good.""The load balancers have an easy installation and a relatively simple, easy user interface to use.""The SSL Layer 7 load balancing is valuable.""We now get notifications when pool members go down, and we eliminate our downtime by not sending traffic to downed pool members.​""Loadbalancer is easy to use. It performs well, with low latency.""Load balancing helps us distribute both incoming and outgoing data loads evenly among the servers, preventing overload on a single server.""The features I find valuable in this solution are the ease of managing the logs on the WAFs, the ease to identify break-in attempts into the network, the front-end firewall, and a more specific firewall.""It helps us to route the traffic to the available servers. If we didn't have Loadbalancer we would fail to set the end-user and it would cause a failure in the cluster."

Cons
"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."

More Barracuda Load Balancer ADC Cons →

"Possibly a more graphical overview page (with colors) to give a two second overview to see if everything is working fine.""Originally we had some stability issues with it, so they replaced it with a new box and it's fine.""Compared to the physical products, the solution's throughput is a little less.""If I have to say something, I suppose they could add an automated configuration backup to an FTP location (or something similar) so you don’t have to manually do it. I don’t see this as a problem, of course, as the configuration rarely changes and we only need one backup, but maybe for other users that feature would be handy.""They're mostly designed to balance a particular type of traffic. I wanted to load balance DNS, and they just don't do it the way that we wanted to. So they're not used as DNS load balancers.""Loadbalancer.org's complexity could be reduced.""It doesn't have the bonding capability feature.""The configuration is somewhat complicated. Someone who does not know the solution may find this challenging."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:The price is very good, and it's not very expensive.
    Top Answer:The price of the solution is reasonable. It costs approximately 200 million. So the price is very good, and it's not very expensive, because it's just basic WAF, but the Load Balancer is good.
    Top Answer:The quality of the solution's performance could be improved. For example, the solution's performance is high because of CPU usage when the application is in refresh mode for more than 30 seconds… more »
    Top Answer:Since Loadbalancer.org is an open-source solution, I would recommend this solution for smaller businesses that don’t have major scaling requirements and don’t have the budget for a commercial… more »

    Reviews from Real Users

    “Loadbalancer.org is less complex than Citrix. In some cases, our customers do not have an engineer on staff who can support this device. These customers have a large number of Linux engineers but don't have the money. We suggested using Loadbalancer.org and other open-source tools. Many customers are of different sizes and have different budgets. Loadbalancer.org has everything that is needed.” - Artem M., System Engineer at CROC

    “We use Loadbalancer for balancing loads in our main application. Loadbalancer is easy to use. It performs well, with low latency.” - Walid M., Network and Security Engineer at a logistics company
