Runs on VMWare. Easy to configure. SSL offloading works great. Layer 4 and Layer 7 load balancing both work very well. We didn't have success with session stickiness with a couple of the other load balancers we tested. Was one of the main factors we chose the product. Support has been very good. Have not had a single failure of the software in over 4 years.

NIC assignment on the VM host machine is not very clear. The last update we pushed broke all of our configs and we had to recreate manually.

We are running dual server farm for end user computing and financial application. We were using 2x LoadBalancer as most of our users connect to windows servers from linux platform. Initially we started using this for Windows Terminal Servers and then we tweaked it bit further added other services available locally. Since it works on TCP services we were able to add multiple services in single platform. The comparing product was 10 times more expensive and providing very similar features. We found loadbalancer quite effective in terms of both cost and functionality.

Based on Linux platform, it is robust and secure. And provide unlimited customization levels. You can actually request something to suit your organizational needs. You can run multiple services not limited to operating system e.g. you can run to loadbalance Windows Server Farm and Web applications simultaneously. you can introduce new servers in existing setup and take out old without any downtime

Web UI to configure is bit complex , However the support is excellent and provide service promptly. Agent less there is not much information you can what going on target services

excellant, the loadbalancer appliance does exactly what the client purchased it for and the follow the sun 24 hour support is superb

The Technical support is excellant, i had difficulty during a clients online upgrade of an enterprise VA Max Slave HA loadbalancer, I spoke to them uploaded support files and they provide me with a number of options to complete the upgrade. The upgrade is now complete and just needs downtime to failover and upgrade the Master appliance Thanks, great service as always

online upgrade has a few gotchas, but works if you follow the guidelines completely - disable any screen saver or anything that could move you off the upgrading web page

Amazing product with stability and absolutely less maintenance and effective one time setup . Glad to know there are providing Cloud based Load balancers as well. Without doubt would propose Cloud based load balancers for my customers.

Improvements like multiple scheduling algorithms for distributing client load, All hosts in a cluster must be located in the same subnet, Cannot provide reverse proxy services functionality that is required for applications etc..

A very positive experience once we got the WAF to work properly. Our internal telephony network has never run this clean since installing the Loadbalancer.org WAF.

The control it gives us to block unauthorized access into our network. The WAF rules are easy to create and the included firewall and per WAF blocking rules are terrific.

Loadbalancer.org does not do proper WAF integration with all pieces of a Metaswitch Enhanced Application Server. As an end user we have to constantly write new rules to make the device work properly.

The layer 4 configuration is as good as a hardware LB if not better, the deployment on our network , the dashboards for monitoring the traffic, load and performance is very satisfactory, management and maintenance is relatively easy and there have been hardly any support requirement sought from us, towards trouble shooting any issues. Excellent to deploy on a production environment in a virtualised platform, especially on a layer 4 configuration.

SSL certificate implementation as part of the SLB needs to be incorporated or improved Traffic analysis to be made in better readable form and the dashboard especially for traffic management could be improved

Load balancing and SSL Termination and visibility of concurrent connection in

The HA ability allows you to make changes and reboots without affecting your environment. Updates to existing infrastructure assets is easy and SSL requests are a breeze

My only Fault is that the updating of the Loadbalancer.org virtual device is not simplistic like other virtual or physical devices. An update can take out the services to a long time. Now they may have fixed this but this is why I am hesitant to upgrade our revisions

Daily Reports. Bandwidth Usage. Administrator Guide. Easy to use and easy to deploy

Product is easy to configure and easy to manage. Product is very stable for production environment. Administrator guide and installation manual are very easy to understand and Administrator can easily manage all the information and logs.

GUI End user interface should be more informational. Monitoring users should work in real time. Restarting certain services should not loose users information.

-Stability -Fantastic support team -Multiple deployment options -Support for the most popular hypervisors

-Could be a little more user friendly -Although functional the UI could use a refresh -No API support

We were able to replace our previous LBs and add speed/features for a nominal price.

The ease of use and implementation are huge pluses with this software. It provides everything that 90% of companies would use and does it very well. The price allowed us to get 2 pairs of LBs instead of just the 1 pair we were looking at from the competition.

The interface is a bit clunky and the reporting/monitoring is less than robust. Some of the graphs are a little difficult to decipher as to the roll up of data and what it is reporting.

it's easy to setup and use, it's really nice to communicate with their custumers service who is quick and qualified.

Loabalancer.org solutions are esay to setup and administrate. They can balance differents protocols with the same applicance. We really like the Direct Routing method to get a really good reponse time for our custumors even if this method requier some adjustements on web servers to work properly.

In the past i have got a issue with the serial cable that use for making a cluster work. I think they can improve this part to automaticaly setup the cluster when a specific cable is connected on two appliance for exemple.

Love the product, easy to setup, intuitive to understand, and functionally superior to the other Load Balancers that we have in the organization

It is configured in an intuitive manner and provides data that is easily interpretted for management review

The only thing I would change is UI customization including color changes. Bright white is pain on the eyes in a dashboard NOC

full load balancing for exchange, without the pricetag of much more expensive hardware. No "expiring" hardware (As we got the vm) and it was even supported in hyper-v environment...

very good, stable, and understandable product. I cant pinpoint anything for the use it is running on, to the contrary I can feel system is overall a winner. Support is very good, and know their stuff, and that's what puts everything together.

well, nothing much really - we forget that its actually there, the only problem is the boss thinks you are not working hard enough...

Cost effective - we had a small number servers that needed to be load balanced. Great support. Purchased the virtual machine model which made setup very easy.

We had one minor issue shortly after implementing that was resolved with a software update. I would like the software upgrade process to be more wizard point and click oriented.

Overall Experiance = Very Good

Functional, Cost Effective Implimentation took half the time compared to other more popular appliances Easy to support and maintain Excellent Documentation and Suport from loadbalancer.org via email and phone

The Interface is simple and intuitive but can be at times clunky. Have found it works better in Chrome. Would like to see facelift on the interface. MIBs are available for monitoring the appliance but could do with adverting these and making them easier to download

The load balancers allowed us to set up a DAG and have redundancy where we needed it. This brand was a great value for the money. Every time I called support, they were extremely helpful and very competent. I would definitely use this software again, and I would recommend them to anyone.

It works. I was using the software as an email load balancer. Support staff helped get this configured and working as designed. I did not need to be an expert.

The software is complicated, but that is the nature of the software.

No training required, straightforward and easy to deploy

Easy to understand and implement loadbalancing features without reading the manual. Their deployment guide is also useful and you can still reach out to the support team should you require have an application you need help to deploy.

Despite using this product for many years, it is difficult to find something glaring. In fact, we have purchased more and even upgraded the initial pair we deployed.

This is a mission critical system for our business and it has never let us down.

Totally robust and the support team are amazing

Interface and especially reporting is now quite dated - new version promised!

They simply do what they were bought for.

The load balancers are running very stable, provide a good performance and after a while you do not even know you are using them because they are inconspicuous.

There is nothing to complain about, no performance or stability issues, no need to reboot. Rare software updates because there isn't much you can make better when the product is perfect. :-)

A reliable product that does what its designed to do and is stable.

The software has always been reliable and stable, it is technical staff who enhance the product. Their ability to configure the product to our bespoke requirements, this makes the difference to other load balancer products on the market.

We currently have no cons using the software. The dashboards may look less modern but I really don't mind.

It allows easier administration of SSL via SSL offloading as well as better resource utilization.

There are a great many options to build your load balancing solutions to suit requirements. The support staff is exemplary and works very quickly to resolve any issues.

Upgrades do not always go smooth, but the support staff is always great to resolve the problems in a quick timeframe.

Does everything it says on the Tin, simply easy to use. Great support and documentation on the site. Great Value for money.. Emailed support a few times and always got a thorough and great explanation to fix the issue.

SNMP functions are a bit lacking, but then again, Loadbalancer.org had an article that explained why

reduce in tickets related to servers high utilization and 24/7 up time for applications

the setup of the appliance is very easy and straight forward. the design is very simple. no complex steps involved.

features of the product should be increased. when compared to other LB appliances its lags support for virtual environment

the software is very nice, easy to use and runs very well, i like how easy it is to set up and maintain.

the only thing i do not like is that the logging is not very detailed, i would like to see more of the packets and what the load balance is seeing

We use it for a number of services, internal and external - VPNs & web services

Pretty easy to use, brilliant support team

Honestly, it just works. I rarely use it and think "it really needs more...."
