Alerts organizations if any malware is detected and removes it quickly
The solution allows me to change my logo. It gives me a white-label portal because I am a partner. OWASP has been the most effective in malware prevention. It can detect if the headers are okay and do FTP scans. We get alerts if we have some malware. It is removed very quickly.
IshtiaqKhalil - PeerSpot reviewer
Information Security Engineer at BOK
Displays flexible, user-friendly interface with minor licensing challenges
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

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"My customers see ROI in the sense that their whole environment is secure."
"They took my website under their surveillance, scanned the website for infection, detected the incident, and removed it in a jiff."
"The solution is pretty stable. I've never faced pressing issues or hanging issue."
"We get alerts if we have some malware."
"The solution is very good and I feel more secure under this than I did under Symantec or McAfee."
"The FIM feature, the information in the new management system, and their support are the most valuable features. The scanned results are quite fast as compared to other platforms compared to scanning timing. It takes about a minute or two minutes. Also, the results of the Comodo scan results are in detail."
"Kemp is a great product to have in our organization."
"The most valuable features for us are the Load Balancing and Web Application Firewall, as we have a lot of web applications."
"The pricing of the solution is valuable."
"Using Kemp as a front-facing service appliance, it allows me to have the flexibility of swapping out real servers behind the scenes without any intervention from my network team."
"The implementation of the LoadMaster has created internal and operational efficiencies, allowing us to balance several applications all at once with an easy-to-setup and use application."
"When the templates are used, there is not much left to configure and they just work!"
"Security is considered the most effective feature in Kemp LoadMaster."
"The base feature of Kemp LoadMaster load balancing ticks all the boxes but the most valuable features would be the security features Intrusion Prevention (IPS) and Web Application Firewall (WAF)."
 

Cons

"The portal is a little slow."
"The solution needs to build better performance, specifically in the hardware resources."
"Better CDN could be a great thing since this is the best that any website owners would be interested in for protecting their website."
"A small problem is from the support team. Sometimes they are a bit delayed."
"Over the last several major versions, the GUI has remained virtually unchanged and still seems lacking."
"Overall, the Kemp LoadMaster has been an all-rounder great product and stable. The free trial and virtual edition make it a breeze for any potential customer to give it a spin before actually deciding to put it on the infrastructure or even talk to the CFO."
"It would be nice if the historical metrics were easily exportable from the interface."
"They need to improve the UI environment. Currently, it's hard to navigate and use product."
"So far, the only hitch we have run into is that would have been nice to have an easier method to add allow/whitelist entries into the Access Control lists for virtual services."
"If I had to pick an area for improvement, I think it would be direct integration with the template library."
"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."
"I really don't like the way the logs are presented in the software."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Comodo cWatch’s first level, which has fewer features, costs $7."
"Nowadays, going with the virtual appliance is the easiest way and the cost is reasonable."
"From a cost perspective, Kemp is very competitive and is not hard to justify by any means."
"The license varies according to the number of megabits."
"Any decent product will cost money and if you want great support and a great product, then you will want to spend the money on it."
"The price is great and the value is definitely there."
"Download Kemp's VLM trial and take it for a test drive; you will be impressed."
"The price of the solution is cheap."
"The setup cost and pricing plan is reasonable and will ultimately give you a worthy return."
