The alert system is efficient, sending alerts within a fraction of a second if any power issues arise.
The support team is knowledgeable and efficiently assists with automation and configuration problems.
The service is helpful yet not excellent.
We have not received technical support from Kemp LoadMaster without a license.
It is scalable for some versions, however, as components reach their end of support, upgrades are necessary to maintain scalability.
Kemp LoadMaster is a scalable solution.
The support system is reliable when issues like automation or configuration arise.
With the license purchase afterwards, if it expires, it begins dropping the HTTP traffic, also the DNS traffic.
The limitation of managing all components and the differing versions pose challenges.
If I need design help, they do not assist; they say it is a design issue they cannot support, and I must approach the system integrator.
After that, they said if it was good, we could purchase the license, and while we found it very good, the license cost was too high.
This solution is quite expensive compared to Kemp.
I use server load balancing and employ layer seven features, which provide more granular traffic shaping and detailed logs.
FortiADC provides load-balancing capabilities needed for integration with other Fortinet platforms.
We had some issues in patching management, so we deployed this product for virtual patching, the IPS rule, and it gives us very good results because we have very critical servers.

Reviews from Real Users
“Having the right load balancing solution – which is what HAProxy is – and protection in place gives organizations peace of mind.” - Nathanel S., Platform Architect at SES
“I use HAProxy for individuals who can not buy low balancers. I built NFV in a box and send individuals a pathway into an HAProxy VM. The setup was not difficult; it usually takes a day to complete for a VPC. When it comes to pricing, HAProxy is free.” - Nasir O., Network & Cloud Architect at Koala Compute Inc.
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.
