for supporting multiple applications, multiple load balances might be required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon elastic load balancer provides three types of load balancers, which help you at different layers. Application load balancer is the layer 7 balancer, network load balancer balances the load by content type and it is a layer 4 load balancer, and the classic load balancer is the simplest load balancer which distributes load among instances having the same type of content.

The cost of load balancer is much high because we have to pay on an hourly basis and also for per second data processing in GBs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ELB is highly available and allows us to route the traffic to other servers instantly even if the primary one is down. It is not chargeable. ELB works well with AWS auto scaling (helps scale up/scale down at run time without any impact) We can integrate ELB with Route53 and CloudFront to serve the request on time from different locations to avoid latency. It's secure and easy to install. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing much except It's tough to write demerits of ELB as most of the things look good only. Port translation limitation and also not allowing us for our own custom IPs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great load balancer but almost free, it provides all necessary solution for your application include layer 4 and 7 load balancer, support both http and https, multiple certification support and multip backend pool configuration

It integrates well with Route53, AWS certificate management, cloud watch, and EC2 Auto Scale to provide a full solution for Application which requires high available, secure and scalable.

Log and monitoring system is very useful for troubleshooting issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited support for port translation, do not provide IP address option Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once you get it, it's probably the easiest system you've ever used. And it has a year long trial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not for impatient people without technical background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to configure the load balancer with AWS infrastructure, and provide easy to use API's to configure with multiple instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that i dislike about elastic load balancer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Super easy to setup and use either with the console or the AWS command line tools

- Load balancing across multiple availability zones leads to application redundancy

- Supports sticky sessions with a cookie

- Easily configurable values of the application server's heartbeat and timeouts, so that the load balancer can identify unhealthy instances

- Monitoring, which is very easy to setup, use and extracted meaningful results from through Amazon Cloud Watch metrics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Let me start by saying that the thing I dislike the most applies to the classic load balancer, which was the one used for my application needs. I did not use or have any experience with either their newest "Application Load Balancer" or the "Network Load Balancer". That said, the load balancer works great under continuous, non-spikey traffic but fails to accommodate instantaneous spikes in network requests. Extensive internet research showed that the load balancer needs to be "pre-warmed" and this is done by filing a request to Amazon support 24 hours ahead of the expected increase in traffic.

The ability to grow with our site is one of the biggest advantages to using this service. It is also very cost effective for what it has to offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS as a whole can be intimidating, or hard to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It automatically balances the load of your containerized applications. Now load balance across multiple ports on the same EC2 instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Whenever we have to do any maintenance activity we have to pull out machines from the instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ELB is easy to configure and has ample documentation available online.

The scaling policies automatically scale the number of machines and attach them to the load balancer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ELB is a bit expensive as compared to its other competitors. Also, it does not respond well to sudden traffic spikes. Another problem is setting up SSL certificates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
