The cost of LoadBalancer Enterprise is better and a bit cheaper compared to other products. The support level is also very good, and the maintenance cost is less than other products. The deployment flexibility is also quite better than other load balancers we have seen in the market. The cost spent on licensing and renewal for other products is significantly different from this one. Time is saved because junior engineers can also configure it, and the uptime with the cluster HA and with automatic failover configured with GSLB is 99.9% to 99%. The SLAs are in our control.

Since I am not pre-sales or sales, I do not handle the financial side related to LoadBalancer Enterprise, including pricing, installation cost, and license management.
I purchased LoadBalancer Enterprise through the AWS marketplace. With the licensing and setup cost, I think it is pretty good, but the overall cost is not something I am aware of. That is handled by the DevOps team, so I am not sure about that.
Loadbalancer is expensive. At Globo, it is probably the most expensive tool we use. Annually, we are paying more than $1 million. I think the price is fair because we are heavy users that put on massive events that are on TV and streamed on the internet.
The solution requires an annual support license that includes software upgrades and support. Compared to other devices in our network, the solution is quite affordable.

I have a rough idea of the cost. However, I don’t generally handle licensing details. I’m not sure, for example, if support is included or an extra cost. I’d rate it a four out of five in terms of affordability, with five being the most expensive.
Loadbalancer.org is an open-source solution, with additional costs, however, in some cases, the price remains the same. It is dependent on the customer and what discounts F5 has given. Loadbalancer.org is based on open-source products, but it requires money for support and other activities.

Pricing is great. I couldn't really complain about it. It's all good. They're not the cheapest, not the most expensive, but I think value-wise, they're 100%.

I don't know about the pricing since I never personally purchased it; the setup cost is cheap and licensing is also reasonably priced.
Pricing of Loadbalancer.org is something to consider.
So far, I would rate it around a five out of ten.

This solutions costs $5 per user per month. Web also needed to pay for a platform license that cost 26,000 Indian rupees.
