LoadBalancer Enterprise offers two types of load balancers: application-based and traffic-based. This is the main feature, allowing it to route based on traffic and server. It always sends data to one server, and once that is down, it picks the second. We rely more on server-based routing in our environment because we work with many servers for important tools such as Splunk, Cribl, and Dynatrace. We always have standby servers, so if the primary encounters an issue, we can easily route our traffic to the active secondary server in our active-passive scenario. LoadBalancer Enterprise has a good user interface, making it easy to manage, and the failover functionality is also impressive. The product itself is very stable. LoadBalancer Enterprise has positively impacted my organization by allowing me to manage my Splunk cluster indexers with 10 servers behind one load balancer. I don't need to remember all 10 IPs, and I can easily add new servers to the group managed by the load balancer. This approach has reduced many errors. Previously, when a server went down, it took a long time until someone reported it. Now, we achieve about 99% availability across all servers thanks to the health check feature in the load balancer.
