We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

"Load-balancing is a great feature that is very easy to configure and it is always working fine.""It has greatly fortified the performance and uptime of our front-door email ingress, simplified and segmented mail routing, and reduced admin overhead for mail issue resolution and troubleshooting.""​Simple to install with good documentation.""It has been functional. We don't have any outages.""With Kemp 360 Central, our customers get a nice overview of their Kemp products and an easy way to upgrade firmware on all devices from a single interface.""The most valuable feature is the load balancing and allowing for high availability of our web services.""One of the most valuable features I like is the ability to block specific cipher suites like RC4, and older protocols like SSL 3.0.""The feature I find most valuable is load balancing with different algorithms."

Cons
"We discussed problems with the network products with the Indian teams. The support center for network products is located in India. There are language barriers and issues with the time difference, so we sometimes face restrictions when dealing with this team."

"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.""In my opinion, the layer seven loads balancing that we're mainly using for web servers, doesn't seem to pick up when there are issues at the application level.""The cost of the GEO upgrade is not cost-prohibitive but it's something that would be a nice add-in, out of the box.""In the next release, Kemp should include the ability for LoadMaster to create different DNS record types.""I think there should be more visual instructions on how to configure advanced features.""If I had to change something it would maybe be to have a little better reporting graphics that show more details in the reporting. It seems to be a little small in the graphic, and I'm not sure if possible but maybe a GUI page that one can use to monitor if any server goes down.""It lacks an officially supported, well-written SCOM Management Pack.""Some of the support documentation seems to make assumptions that the person installing or configuring is experienced with the product or concepts."

    Overview

    With billions of real user measurements a day, from every corner of the internet, Citrix Intelligent Traffic Management monitors internet traffic issues in real time and automatically steers your traffic to avoid them.

    Whether you host your applications and content on premises, in the cloud or in content delivery networks (CDNs), Citrix Intelligent Traffic Management allows you to globally load balance all traffic, dynamically optimizing the user experience and lowering service costs. Citrix uses real-time machine learning to direct user requests to the most suitable content source.

    Kemp LoadMaster is a powerful load balancing solution that also serves as a web application firewall. Its primary use case is load balancing and application load balancing, making it an ideal solution for organizations that must distribute traffic across multiple servers. Kemp's integration with an active directory for ESP usage, hosting/deployment of SSL certificates, and pricing are some of its most valuable features. 

    Using Kemp has helped organizations mitigate cross-scripting vulnerabilities, cookie-related issues, and content security policy issues. It has also allowed them to handle everything with Kemp instead of working on each application individually.
