Loadbalancer.org

Pros: This software is easy to use and very well laid out. It is easy to navigate and find operations needed on a weekly basis.

Cons: Don't have anything bad to say about it.

Overall: Working with Tech support was easy and very helpful. In a day where it is hard to get ahold of anyone to get support they made it very easy for us.

Pros: 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.

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

Overall: 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.

Pros: This was the easiest to configure set of load-balancers that I have used. It took us less than an hour to have 2 virtual LB's in an HA cluster.

Cons: The interface is basic and could really use some more reporting options.

Overall: For a nominal price, we were able to put a set of load balancers in front of our web servers and provide a level of reliability that we did not have before.

Pros: The loadbalancer appliances offer a wealth of options to suit any requirement we could dream up. Support is spot on. Most importantly, reliability even under heavy load is perfect as well.

Cons: There isn't really anything negative to note here.

Pros: Easy to deploy, easy to configure, statistics and analytics

Cons: Some more advanced configurations can reguire manual editing of configuration files.

Pros: Easy to administer, monitor and support team is very good.

Cons: Robust Monitoring via email is required

Overall: Overall great experience and stable product for Class A services

Pros: 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.

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

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

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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.

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

Pros: 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

Cons: 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

Overall: 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.

Pros: 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.

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

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