Ivanti Virtual Web Application Firewall vs Kemp LoadMaster comparison

"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."

"We really like the performance of this solution."

"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 Global WAF has saved us more than one time from unwanted traffic."

"Mitigates content security policy issues."

"The most valuable features are synchronizing email with mobile devices and synchronizing with Outlook."

"The user interface is very easy to work with."

"We are most impressed with the ease of use and great support."

"The DNS Load Balancer makes it so that I don't have to worry about site failures."

"In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else."

"If there is anything that needs to be updated, the GUI can get a refresh to make it look more like 2020, although it is just a cosmetic change."

"They were still in the process of development, and for example, we set it up in a cluster. So it was one logistical unit built out of two physical devices. And the expected behavior, which I know from other devices, will be formed into a logic cluster. It's that you configure one unit. Then you bring the second unit into this cluster with the already configured primary unit. So the secondary box pulls all the configured ones from its neighbor, does everything automatically, and then synchronizes with this primary neighbor. And then it works, like, one logical unit. And this didn't work with the Kemp's initially, where they caused a lot of issues when building up a cluster, so there were some specials on how to set this up. When we built or set them up for the first time and the months afterward with no new software releases, there were a couple of problems, but in the end, they worked fine. So, they developed a lot and learned from what they've responded to, what we responded to them, and what needs fixing."

"It would be much easier to have the management interface directly integrate with the Kemp Support library, allowing you to choose the desired template from the online catalog to then directly download to the LoadMaster."

"I think there should be more visual instructions on how to configure advanced features."

"Several elements of the GUI need work. For example, if you have many content switches, it’s difficult to find the ones you need. And where is the search feature?"

"SNMP and/or RESTCONF management, in order to collect many counters, for plotting in a central application need to be improved."

"The product is really good as-is out of the box. If there is one thing I would change is to have the license file not be coupled with the MAC address of the device. This is actually not really useful in a virtual environment where if you have a single VM with KEMP LoadMaster and you have not set up static MAC Address, if you, for example, recreate the VM and just load the disk file on a new VM it will get new MAC address and the NLB will not work as it will not see a proper license."

"Hardware version needs a dual power solution."

"At $2,500 USD, this is absolutely a fantastic buy for the money!"

"The Kemp LoadMaster is a tremendous value."

"The price of the solution is cheap."

"Nowadays, going with the virtual appliance is the easiest way and the cost is reasonable."

"The price is great and the value is definitely there."

"It has a very attractive ratio of price/performance."

"The product definitely provides what the organization needs and its cost is reasonable considering the value it brings."

"Currently, no cost is involved with a virtual load balancer. They have used open source. We did not pay for software. We paid for the expertise. We are only paying the consulting charges, which are very reasonable, that is, around a thousand dollars."
