"Very Positive Experience"
What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?

As a customer, our experience with the Kemp LoadMaster LMX15 has been very positive. The product is stable, easy to configure, and delivers consistent performance. We particularly appreciate the responsive technical support and clear documentation, which made the deployment and ongoing management smooth. It's a solid choice for organizations looking for reliable load balancing with excellent customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?

While our overall experience has been very positive, one area for improvement is the user interface, which could benefit from a more modern design and enhanced usability in some advanced configuration menus. Additionally, firmware updates occasionally require planned downtime, which can be a minor inconvenience in high-availability environments. However, these are relatively small issues compared to the product’s reliability and support quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Progress Kemp LoadMaster is a robust product to use"
What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?

I really like how easy Kemp is to use. This is a very user friendly tool and the dashboards are very easy to read and understand. I also like Kemp's support. We have had to call into support a few times and each time we got up and running with little to no issues as Kemp does a very good job getting you the help you need right away. I do like Kemp's brand recognition as you aren't using some fly-by-night product. Kemp does do a robust job keeping track of how our environment is performing and helps our team allocate more resources to areas where they are needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?

Kemp isn't that good at working with other software tools you have in place, even if they don't compete with Kemp. This product does function siloed from other tools and platforms you are using so it does take a decent amount of human intervention to make sure this is working and updating with the rest of your environment. I also didn't like the pricetag that comes with Kemp. This is very expensive when you look at what you are getting, this can easily put you over your planned budget compared to other stuff that is out there.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
