Load Balancer Enterprise ADC

Pros: The appliance provides a huge amount of configuration options, with a lot of granular control to suit most hosting environments. We use it for balancing between web servers to provide failover capabilities and it does the job without complaining. No performance impact. The support is what really sets Loadbalancer.org aside from similar products. Very responsive and knowledgeable engineers, no need to deal with 1st line gatekeepers. Every time I've dealt with support, I've only been met with friendly, approachble people who know their stuff.

Cons: It can be a steep learning curve for anyone new to this. If you've come with existing experience with HAProxy or other Apache-based reverse-proxy platforms, you may find it easier to get started. However, the onboarding process and support has been really helpful.

Pros: Easy to use, liked the menu groupings, very nice GUI. Current state of services is clear to see. Good documentation.

Cons: Nothing comes to mind, it really just works, there are no real "gotchas" or tricky bits on the configuration. It does pay to read the documents

Pros: Load Balancer Enterprise ADC offers stable and reliable performance with strong high availability and failover capabilities. It efficiently distributes traffic, integrates well with existing infrastructure, and has proven dependable in production environments over time.

Cons: The initial setup and configuration can be complex and may require experienced administrators. Some advanced features have a learning curve, and more detailed documentation would be helpful for certain enterprise use cases.

Pros: It was not difficult to set up and get running, and the documentation was extensive. The support team has been excellent. There are extensive sets of options to configure the load balancer.

Cons: The worst thing I could say is that it feels like the device is geared towards developers and requires a high level of technical knowledge.

Pros: Simple setup Flexible load balancing Layer 4 UDP Direct Response Layer 4 Excellent Support SSL Offloading Simple Remote GUI to manage things

Cons: Linux Kernel doesn't support latest virtual machine versions. But that isn't negatively affecting the performance or anything.

Pros: It is value for money and the GUI is easy to navigate. The GUI is very easy to learn and documentation is comprehensible.

Cons: Some aspects rely on the underlying OS to function. You still need basic linux knowledge to work on some features.

Pros: I very much appreciate the quick response time, attention to my explanation, and the willingness to go above and beyond to help solve the problems we were facing. The flexibility with how we are deploying and configuring is a huge factor as well.

Cons: I didn't have any complaints. So far everything has been straight forward. The product works, the support is great, and the flexibility is there.

Pros: Although the solution is very powerful and flexible, configuring your solution is very easy. It just works.

Cons: If i need to think about a feature i like the least, maybe sounds boring but if the box does something funny, support will always help you out

Pros: Easy to adopt in a small IT shop, does what it's supposed to do, easily updated and support is smart, friendly and available. No downtime or incidents in my three years of use.

Cons: I struggled to make use of the online features (update and backup), and ultimately decided I didn't need them.

Pros: Easy to use and flexible. Feature rich and great support. Much more cost effective than hardware load balancers

Cons: Occasional bugs but get resolved relatively quickly. GUI is a little dated but still functional so not really a major issue.

Pros: The product has been stable and upgrades have gone without issues. I really appreciate the live chat with support, and whether its chat, or ticket, their support team is knowledgeable, and helpful.

Cons: There is a drain feature for a vip, which works, I think it could work a little faster. Usually when you are draining a vip, its due to some maintenance, so speed on moving connections off of one server would be helpful, but it does work.

Pros: Their support team is outstanding. Few vendors we’ve worked with offer the same level of responsiveness, technical expertise, and commitment to resolving issues. In an industry where many products offer similar core functionality, it’s the quality of support that truly sets Load Balancer Enterprise ADC apart. Whether facing a complex configuration question or troubleshooting a critical issue, their support staff consistently delivers timely, knowledgeable assistance that makes a significant difference in our operational confidence.

Cons: Over the past few years, we’ve encountered a handful of bugs across different versions that led to brief outages in our production environment. While these incidents were disruptive, they were not frequent and were typically resolved quickly. Fortunately, the vendor’s support team was responsive and effective, helping us identify and implement fixes in a timely manner. Still, more rigorous regression testing prior to new releases would improve confidence in long-term stability.

Pros: Functionality. This is a flexible solution that can accommodate complex configurations. The ADC provides a nice web interface to manage the open source tools that are under the hood.

Cons: Observability. I wish there were built-in WAF dashboards similar to what you see in tools like Reblaze. The data is there, it is just difficult to satisfy an auditor that the WAF is doing its job without pretty graphs that show detected/blocked traffic. We integrated with Wazuh to achieve that, but it would be nice if this was native or in the portal.

Pros: Loadbalancer products provide an easy to configure user interface, and system monitoring. From the initial configuration, to applying the licences and configuring loadbalances, it is all intuitive and quick to complete. Raising support tickets is easy, and receive rapid responses and resolution. The staff are always eager to assist and provide detailed guides to overcome any issues

Cons: So far, the experience with the appliances has all been positive, resulting in the purchase of a second pair of appliances, so nothing to not like.

Pros: Rock solid product and the support team are amazing. No other vendor I deal with responds as quickly.

Cons: The sheer breadth of functionality can make the learning curve pretty steep. They have detailed setup guides for a lot of platforms, it's worth seeing if there's one that matches your use case as it helps you get it right first time.

Pros: Ease of configuration, detailed support documents, friendly and helpful support and a great price point.

Cons: Nothing to list at this time and the product does everything we have asked of it where other products have failed.

Pros: The system is designed to be user-friendly and straightforward to configure, even for those with limited technical experience. It features a well-designed, intuitive web-based user interface (WebUI) that allows for efficient navigation and management of settings. Upgrading to newer versions is a seamless process, requiring minimal downtime and ensuring compatibility with existing configurations.

Cons: The Web-based user interface (WebUI) does not currently provide an option to configure or adjust the time interval between individual monitoring checks, requiring manual modification through backend settings or configuration files instead.

Pros: Ease of use and great customer service!!

Cons: None at this time. All seems to function as designed

Pros: Totally reliable and support that is absolutely outstanding

Cons: Interface feels a little dated and SSL certificate managment could be better.

Pros: Easy to setup, great manuals, good support that really know were they are talking about. And the costs are also acceptable.

Cons: I cant think of anything... So far this solution has never let us down!

Pros: I like it's simplicity and the support. I worked with NetScaler for a good majority of my career and switching for loadbalancer.org has been the best decision for my organization. The support is always fast and good.

Cons: I honestly can't think of a cons at the moment; maybe just improve abilities to do more with ACL rules, like for instance create the ability to block by source domain; rather than just IP.

Pros: Quick and simple UI. Configuring HA is simple.

Cons: N/A -- I have to create some random sentence to submit this ...
