Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Kemp, Microsoft and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."Failover is seamless and our services are rock solid."
"The most valuable features are synchronizing email with mobile devices and synchronizing with Outlook."
"Mitigates content security policy issues."
"Great web balancing and remote access balancing."
"We are most impressed with the ease of use and great support."
"The user interface is very easy to work with."
"For small businesses and people who have some technical skills and are good with Linux command line, this solution is great. I love Linode because it is very fast. Whereas, the same configuration on Azure and AWS will be so slow. The best thing is that their pricing and speed are great."
"Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"The most valuable feature is the domain settings page."
"The most valuable feature is the static IP address, which has been very helpful for being able to log into the same address over the course of more than a decade."
"The solution integrates easily."
"The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"The cloud management panel is nice."
"Because of the way that their pricing model is set up, I can scale up or down the size of a customer's server very easily. It makes life very easy for me when they run out of space, need more speed or RAM, etc. I can very easily pay the difference and reboot the machine, and now I have the upgrade that I wanted. That just makes it extremely simple."
"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."
"We have experienced at least one problem with stability, although it was fixed with an upgrade."
"Hardware version needs a dual power solution."
"I definitely think that the WAF can be improved."
"Perhaps Kemp could offer some training videos."
"UI is very basic and unattractive."
"I've had some difficulties with some of their IP addresses being banned by certain mail servers."
"It would be helpful if they provided the additional Linux distributions that I prefer using. But there is still a workaround. I can do it without direct support. It's a bit more complicated, but it can still be done."
"Right now, they don't have multiple data centers. They have limited data centers. I am currently using the Singapore and Mumbai data centers, but I am looking for data centers in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. They need to improve the availability of their data centers and partnership engagements with cloud Panda solution providers, like us."
"It would be helpful if they offered a service where they handle the Linux security."
"They are already working on the firewalls and VLANs, which need improvement, and are now in beta. I am on the beta program for the firewalls, but I can't use it yet because they are only in Mumbai and Australia, and I am not in those data centres. This is the one thing that I have been waiting for almost since the day that I joined them, so it is nice that they are doing that. The VLANs will be an improvement as well, and I am keen and waiting for that."
"When it comes to marketing and exposure, Linode needs improvement because I just randomly found them by looking for Linux solutions."
"The only improvement in this aspect of the service which I can think of is perhaps a pool of developers who could be hired for those cases where the need goes beyond the support offered."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
