It's very complicated if we compare it to aws Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google cloud load balancer is very good and managed service provided by google to manage the load on servers, in this service we put many servers behind elb and suppose we have lots of hit then it manage the hits and divide them equally on servers so we improved our performance and reliability. Very good and widely used service of aws to manage the hits on resources and automatically manage them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Let me start by saying that the thing I dislike the most applies to the Google cloud load balancer, which was the one used for my application needs. I did not use or have any experience with either their newest "Google Load Balancer" or the "cloud 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 Google support 24 hours ahead of the expected increase in traffic.

It was really great to discover how Google Cloud Load Balancing could handle a huge peak in traffic. This only features helped protect our server from overloading and kept our website online at all time. It’s seamless autoscaling features takes away the worry of unexpected and instantaneous spikes of traffic by diverting those to other channels and regions in the world, optimizing traffic.

It's not easy to set-up and require considerable IT knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google cloud load balancer helps to distribute the client requests across multiple application servers that are running in a cloud environment there by manages the traffic on the servers located across multiple locations. It helps application to run steady and stable by distributing the requests and reduces load on the server.Google cloud balancing enables to maximize application performance and reliability: it helps to monitor failure, high traffic and even low traffic and spin down VM's that are not required.

If the service is down, fail all requests quickly instead of waiting for each request to timeout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy integration with other Google Cloud Platform Resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found the documentation quite hard to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is use because I feel google makes its products easy and convenient to use and this is no different. Very understandable to navigate and its organization is clear and concise. Also provides a high volume of storage which is nice. I also enjoy that everything is scalable to your preferences so when dealing with client based projects, it would load quickly and accurately.

Can be somewhat laggy and shut off or down on me more than I would like it to. I also think it does not work as well with mac applications versus windows, etc. Can also be slow on connecting to a network when first loading or starting up. The product talks a lot about backend health and efficiency but I'm not sure, in my opinion, if that's its best feature. I also find that this product isn't immediately matching the updates of other softwares or applications but it doesn't lag too far behind Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I absolutely loved the fact that we could distribute our load-balanced compute resources to various regions, located closer to our users. This greatly helped in handling queries during high demand period. SSL load balancing was a plus: having an encrypted load balancing greatly added to our secured IT environment.

Considerable IT knowledge is required and even though the admin panel is user-friendly, it is still not enough for a proper handling. Dedicated free customer support is not available as desired. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google Cloud Load Balancing is a typical cloud internal load balancing software. I travel for work so love that it is able to connect to VPN and the entire app is available via a single IP address. This has proven to be a good cloud system for internal use and for a largely trafficked/high query market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While you get the name “Google” there are other severs that offer similar features, if not more, such as AWS. It does not offer multi-cloud support or analytics monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use and native integration with Google Kubernetes Engine makes it a breeze to deploy and utilize within our deployment processes. Native support for health checking, layer 7 load balancing, ingress controllers, and wide customization options make it a near perfect tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing is obtuse, and in my view, too high of a cost for Kubernetes based deployments. Autogenerated names from Google Kubernetes Engine don't reveal insights into which cluster/service a load balancer is attributed too at first glance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like this because it provides a solution to the problems we were having with traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Really nothing at all. Maybe the tech support could be better with 24 hour around the clock live help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
