We performed a comparison between Kemp LoadMaster and Radware Alteon based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature so far has been the high-availability options that allowed us to add an additional Kemp LoadMaster VLM virtual appliance into our VMware vSphere environment, to provide failover for our existing LoadMaster."
"It has been functional. We don't have any outages."
"Simple to install with good documentation."
"There is a simplicity to the setup and configuration."
"The security features, load balancing, built-in templates, and the easy to implement virtual IPs are great."
"The most valuable feature that I found is the load balancing feature, it is the core function of the product."
"The most beneficial function of using the ADC is to ensure this resiliency."
"The most valuable features for us are the Load Balancing and Web Application Firewall, as we have a lot of web applications."
"I like the web GUI. It's very intuitive and easy to use."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"The product offers high availability."
"The best part is that we are able to manage it easily. It is easy to manage and easy to integrate with third-party applications."
"With Alteon, the load-balancing options are practically unlimited. We haven't had any issues with offloading, decryption, putting in cookies, or any other load-balancing features. We can check URLs, etc., on the back end for load balancing instead of running a TCP check. We're also doing some certificate stuff on there. Alteon covers all of the standard load-balancing techniques, and we employ most of them daily."
"The strength of this solution is the application delivery controller."
"It is easy to expand. Our clients are enterprise-size."
"The most valuable aspect is that it establishes user security."
"I really don't like the way the logs are presented in the software."
"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."
"The auth website of ESP is really lacking. It’s not responsive (mobile friendly) and the procedure of changing the website is difficult. We tend to avoid using pre-auth for that reason."
"Over the last several major versions, the GUI has remained virtually unchanged and still seems lacking."
"If you want logging for SMTP traffic, you have to enable ESP, which requires you to define allowed IP addresses. That’s irritating, to say the least."
"It has all types of logs and they are very detailed, but it's a little bit hard to search for a single event."
"The GUI is rather technical and complex, so it could be improved by making it simpler and more user-friendly."
"It would be very helpful to get all the http/https session logs by default in the log monitor without activating debugging mode like an apache web sever natively does"
"Scalability should be based on customer requirements."
"We are in the process of updating our version of the solution, so judging what should be improved is difficult. But in some cases, the visualization takes a while, especially for mapping issues."
"The interface implementation can be improved."
"I would like for the load balancing to work with premier and the cloud, a mix of premium and cloud."
"I would like this solution to have an integration tool that will convert configuration from other software, into readable values for this product during implementation."
"Support is an area that needs improvement."
"The GUI needs to be improved. Right now, the solution isn't so user-friendly."
"You need to have pretty good internal knowledge of the solution."
