"The most valuable feature is the SSL upload."
"There are several levels of module so a company can upgrade if necessary."
"The solution itself is perfect. It's easy to configure and we haven't had any initial issues with the hardware or power supply."
"The most valuable feature is the vertical scaling of the application infrastructure."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten...The initial setup of Kemp LoadMaster is very simple."
"We needed a Microsoft Threat Management Gateway server replacement solution for a customer and were impressed with the simplified deployment of the Kemp LoadMasters."
"We really like the performance of this solution."
"Edge Security Pack is valuable because of the way it separates between critical infrastructure and the public internet."
"The security features, load balancing, built-in templates, and the easy to implement virtual IPs are great."
"The feature that allows us to easily disconnect a server when we need and bring back online is the most valuable. It's a click of a button. This allows us to keep all systems up. We can then run updates, perform reboots whatever we need to one of the servers without taking production down."
"Managing and maintaining multiple servers is done in a single place."
"The solution is easy to configure when changing the load balancing method to Round Robin or least connection."
"It's unfortunate that the network firewall isn't really a next generation firewall."
"The initial setup is complex but it is manageable."
"It's hard to scale down the solution. You need to buy another product in order to do this."
"The pricing for this solution should be reduced so that it can be more competitive."
"Over the last several major versions, the GUI has remained virtually unchanged and still seems lacking."
"Some of the support documentation seems to make assumptions that the person installing or configuring is experienced with the product or concepts."
"Although Kemp is very user-friendly, it lacks a more custom configuration."
"I definitely think that the WAF can be improved."
"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."
"Hardware version needs a dual power solution."
"To make it a perfect ten out of ten it would need better connection logging. If there is an active connection, that there is better logging. It should also have better management monitoring tools."
"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."
