Progress Kemp LoadMaster Reviews & Product Details

We implemented our LoadMasters years ago to support a new software we are adding to the organizaiton. We had ordered two expensive hardware loadbalancers and had them sitting in a recieving dock when a contractor and Kemp enthusiast said "hardware loadbalancers thats crazy just use Kemps". We looked into them and we fell in love. They are easy setup, easy to use, powerful, and stable. They have become a backbone of our organizaiton supporing numerous sevices both internal and external. Best of all the support is great, anytime we have problems we contact Kemp support and they help us right away. This is a great poducsts and we highly recommend it.

Some updates have not been fully baked in at times. In their efforts to push out updates we've been bit by various bugs that have affected production workloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support at Kemp is wonderful and easy to work with. Their constuling services as well are great. I cannot think of a time when I have had an unplanned outage with our loadmaster. It also has a lot of Flexablbilty to do many tasks. It is used every day by our staff for external and internal load balanaing and remote access. I was easy to install and upgrade. It also has many ways to intergrate with many applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much I dislike but with having so many features it sometimes is hard to configure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kemp LoadMaster I love because it has a capacity and diversity of topics it covers, from the very simple and straightforward way of integrating, to the ease it has for doing things and its clear documentation, it is one of the best load balancers I have used in my work experience.

Difficult to find a partner to buy the product in Spain Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the small footprint and ease of use. It is easy to troubleshoot as well as add new services / real servers to the loadmaster. It only takes 10-15 minutes to stand up and deploy a new loadmaster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LDAP setup for the WUI is a bit clunky to set up, after that everything is smooth sailing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've used Kemp Loadmaster in both physical HA and virtual HA pairing versions, over 4 different implementations over the last decade. Loadmaster proved to be a well-featured product for a fraction of the price of competitor products. We currently use it to publish ~60 sites or services. Kemp customer support has always been excellent in terms of response time and resolution. One one occasion, I also employed their professional services who were also knowledgeable and helped us reach our objectives. Online documentation is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is a little dated but serves its purpose. For some new users, the learning curve can be a bit steep to get used to the terminology and way things work, but I've solved that by using examples for them to copy when configuring new stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
