## Progress Kemp LoadMaster Reviews
  ### 1. Great value with some rough edges.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Peter K. | Senior Unix Systems Administrator, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 02, 2021

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

Price.  Very good value for the feature set, especially as compared to F5 and Citrix.  Excellent phone support, usually short hold time, then compatent, well trained techs.  Also, frexibility of using VM, hardware, or cloud.  API support.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

Web UI. It's unpolished and not intuitive.  For example real servers are *not* configred under "Real Servers" section. It's diffult to find the settings and setting for related things are spread across serveal sections.  In consistent placement of the buttons.  Inconsistent filed names, sometimes all caps like "Connectivity Timeout" sometimes mixed case like "Retry attempts" just below it.  Lack of support for Duo 2FA.  Muich of on-line documentation and tutorials are out of date.

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Exchange 2019 and web applications for redundancy in case of scheduled or "unscheduled" downtime.  Possibly Global Balancing in the future, but not at initial installation.

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

The customer service I received from Michael was excellent! Michael's technical ability to troubleshoot issues is amazing! I was able to show Michael what I was having issues with and what the expected result was. He took the time to listen and understand the issue and then crafted a solution to resolve my issues.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

The only challenging area is that the load balancer is very complex and unless you use them all of the time, it is a little confusing on how to setup the things you need. However, Kemp support is always there and willing to assist.

**Recommendations to others considering Progress Kemp LoadMaster:**

This is a solid product that will do what it says. The updates are very easy to apply and do not take long to install. As well, this device runs and runs well without needing to be rebooted. It is rock solid and I would recommend this product to anyone.

We are utilizing the loadmaster 5000 to load balance our Infor ERP solution. We are gaining a lot of speed with the distributed services across the system because of the load balance. Very well worth the investment.

He was friendly, upbeat and professional.  I highly reccomend Mike to anyone who be lucky enough to have him as there agent.

  ### 5. Fast Initial Configuration

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Practice | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 30, 2021

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

Kemp Technology offers a fully functional (including support) trial that made it easy to verify.  I have set up NetScaler before and found Kemp’s interface easy to use.  I had a functional active/passive HA configuration running the same evening I download the image.

I did have a few questions and received my initial support response in just over an hour.  A great first impression.

Some of the documentation I read is out of date, but support quickly directed me to the resolution I was looking for.

**Recommendations to others considering Progress Kemp LoadMaster:**

I recommend taking advantage of the free trial if you have not used their product before.  Since Kemp offers a smaller (20Mbps) free/unsupported version, I used it for initial testing in my home lab.  This gave me the confidence to move forward with the full trial.

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I needed a reliable HA load balancer in front of multiple EMR servers.  I was able to solve this with two virtual appliances that will be on separate hosts.

  ### 20. Balance your Load with Reliability

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** John C. | System Administrator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 06, 2020

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

The reliability and support are the best. I have it setup and don't have to worry about it. We are able to utilize more resources with Kemp than we had before. The load balancing before was a very manual process and we could not right size our environment because we had to account for unbalanced loads. Now we have saved resources and man power since adopting Kemp.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

I would like to see more automation. The automated tasks that I do daily could be integrated more so with Kemp. If I could get some automation in events of servers or resources unavailability that could minimize the interaction that have to do. I would love to be able to setup automations that call out powershell scripts or something like that.

**Recommendations to others considering Progress Kemp LoadMaster:**

Utilize their support. It is a very great knowledgable team. They will help you with anything you need. Also, they are very helpful in troubleshooting issues that may arise and get to the bottom of it.

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We balance a load to API instances, RDP access, gateway servers. There is a need to have things balanced to utilize the power and resources properly. The resources and degradation has been solved with Kemp. We also have the added bonus of being able to take resources down so that we can service them.

  ### 21. Great Loadbalancer quick and easy to implement and put into operation

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sascha G. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2020

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

The most valuable feature is that load-balancing, as Kemp helps to maintain the uptime from the e-mail servers.

If we have or need a maintenance window for one of the other e-mail servers, Kemp will still deliver your e-mail traffic to the other server. It just works.

It is easy to apply windows updates to your Exchange environment, and using the Kemp Load Balancer made it easier to handle.

Another great feature is the ability to use the Kemp Load Balancer virtual appliance in our VMware environment.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

In the web interface, there are a lot of settings in the different menus and it would be helpful if there were an interactive help system or tooltips to help the administrators find and configure the right settings.

The configuration of "standard" services is quite easy but when you configure more advanced settings, it's no longer easy and can be challenging. The Kemp Load Balancer is a very good product out of the VMware ISO (Box).

Sometimes, you feel years back in the web interface but it's just cosmetic.

**Recommendations to others considering Progress Kemp LoadMaster:**

Its a Kemp it works great.

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our company e-mail and mobile communication system, which is based on Exchange Servers, needed load-balancing and security. After a few discussions with resellers and external consultants, we decided on the Kemp Load Balancer solution.

Our installation is a virtual Kemp Load Balancer based on VMware. We have configured four  Exchange Servers in a DAG configuration and we have been very satisfied since it was installed. In the future, we would like to map further services via the Kemp.

  ### 29. Kemp - Quality Load Balancer, Quality Support, Great Price

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 16, 2020

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

My favorite part about the Kemp Load Balancer is the ease of use.  I have integrated the Kemp into our Azure DevOps pipelines  Kemp Load Balancer handles load balancing on all of our critical application servers as well as being utilized for Redis and Kubernetes Cluster Worker load management.  I have had no issues using the Kemp Load Balancer in VM hosts, physiocal servers and  I can point it at a physical machine easily.  It really has been a critical part of our transformation from Agile to DevOps. The deployment of Kemp could not be easier either.  We transitioned from a physical kemp to a virtual in a single day.  Automated backups ensure if anything happens with the Kemp Load Balancer I would easily be able to restore the Kemp Load Balancer to a new pair of virtual Kemps in a short amount of time.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

The user experience is a little bit out of date.  The statistics and graphs are functional and effective however they do seem to be a bit circa 2010.  I think that one of the items that Kemp could do to improve is make a more interactive set of statistics based on logging  Statistics and graphs could be prettier and it would be nice to be able to drill down on more data points.  Also the save feature works quite well.  However in my experience I need to save each time I change a field on a page.  That could be slightly streamlined as well.  Overall, these complains are nice to haves and not need to haves.

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have been able to implement continuous integration on multiple products due to our ability to load balance via the Kemp Load Balancer  This allows us to find issues quickly, giving each developer feedback on their work.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

In all of my support cases reaching out to KEMP, there are none that I could fault thus far!

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use the appliance to protect internal applications by implementing in a reverse proxy with WAF capabilities.

  ### 32. Kemp Support Review

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 10, 2021

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

Support.    Never an issue anytime I had to call in for support.  Also, when I called in for support, it was never due to a downed Kemp appliance.  Upgrade path - very easy.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

There is only one thing I dislike about the Kemp and that is how easy it is to select an incorrect setting and have it apply instantly.    I wish there was an Apply button, to review and save your changes.

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Kemp is not currently help solve any business problems?  I hope I am understanding the question correctly.

  ### 33. Great features and performance for the right price

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 05, 2020

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

Ease of use in deployment, configuration and management. The templates provided by Kemp for well known applications like Exchange, SharePoint, etc. makes these applications very easy to deploy without needing extra technical help. The technical support that Kemp provides is also excellent as they respond almost immediately and are able to answer any questions or resolve issues at first contact. When evaluating other vendors, some were priced too high - Kemp provides for us that right balance of features, performance, throughput and price that we were looking for, so we are very happy about that.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

Would like to see more details in real time statistics. It shows the number of active connections and also for the past 5/30/60 mins, but it would be nice to be able to drill down further regarding the IP addresses of the clients. Being able to export the real time statistics and historical graphs from the interface would be a nice plus.

**Recommendations to others considering Progress Kemp LoadMaster:**

Kemp provides a very easy initial setup, configuration and management experience. Many of the techs on my staff are easily able to login and use/configure the LoadMaster easily without requiring any training at all. Definitely look at the management interface and you will see that it is very easy to use - you don't need to load multiple config pages just to configure a single virtual service, which some vendors require. Also check out the templates that Kemp provides for many vendors (Microsoft, Oracle, etc.) which provides a quick config setup for a particular solution so you don't have to fiddle around with tweaking multiple settings - the template does it all for you. We have not had any problems using these templates. Licensing is also quite easy and the product is very scalable and very stable. We also needed a product that was provided virtually instead of traditional hardware, highly available, and would work on our Hyper-V clustered environment, since not many virtual products would work on Microsoft's hypervisor. We were able to deploy the virtual LoadMaster on two different Hyper-V clusters to meet the high availability that we were looking for.

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have many on-premise applications that need to be always-on accessible, and the Kemp LoadMaster provided a highly-available solution that met the needs of all the applications. We looked at other application delivery controllers/load balancers that have similar features, but did not want to pay a higher price point. Kemp provides a very cost effective solution.

  ### 34. Great load balancing solution for organizations

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Business Supplies and Equipment | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 04, 2020

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

Kemp LoadMaster provides some key features which are simply great to implement, like network load balancing, High availability, protocol based routing and security) . The support team is unbelievably fantastic, always available 24/7.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

This product already provides some security features like (WAF, ESP, SSL) to avoid network attacks, to further strengthen the security of our infrastructure, especially our internet-facing servers , we’d appreciate to have a solution like Captcha integrated to prevent any advanced network intrusion.

**Recommendations to others considering Progress Kemp LoadMaster:**

I would definitely recommend this product as it really meets the businnes needs.

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have a Kemp LoadMaster cluster, which has been implemented in front of our production web servers in order to provide network load balancing between the web servers. It also ensures the high availability of our web servers in case of a server failure. And of course, it provides security to our infrastructure from external attack through its built-in features (Web Application Proxy and SSL).

  ### 35. Great appliance for load balancing and reverse proxy

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Government Administration | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2020

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

The KEMP appliance is very simple to use and setup.  The GUI is very straight forward to understand and it helps with troubleshooting if we run into an issue.  I was able to quickly apply a content filter to a few URLs on the web server from being accessed from the public side.  

Support is superb as I was able to get connected with a live engineer within minutes of calling the support line.  I do have a 24x7 support contract with the company but not sure if it makes a difference here.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

The KEMP appliance can use a quick update to the GUI to bring it up to the 2020 look similar to other competitors.  Overall, it works great.

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We used the KEMP appliance for reverse proxy and load balancing for our public web servers in the DMZ.  This adds another layer of security and minimize the attack interface for our web servers.

  ### 36. Kemp LoadMaster LM-2400 mastered our load balancing needs!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Samuel P. | Systems Administrator II, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 13, 2021

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

The Kemp Loadmaster is easy to set up and very reliable.  Kemp support provides templates for many services so it can really speed up the implementation.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

I can't say that there is anything that I dislike about our LoadMaster experience.  It's been rock solid and a wonderful foundation on which some of our most critical services are built.

**Recommendations to others considering Progress Kemp LoadMaster:**

The Kemp LoadMaster is a wonderful tool.  As a load balancer, I have not used a better solution.  It is easy to get implemented and the support they offer is great.

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We were implementing an on-prem VoIP service.  Kemp allowed us to implement it with full redundancy and has provided us with 8 years of great service.

  ### 37. Able to resolve the issue quickly and efficiently

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 17, 2021

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

KEMP support was able to point out what was the root cause, and provide the fix. Also I like the way that they could provide portal to arrange meeting on the portal.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

So far so good and I don't have any dislike.

**Recommendations to others considering Progress Kemp LoadMaster:**

Looking forward to see more features on future version release

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

There was linux disk space issue. I realized KEMP support to help me to enter the linux layer for further troubleshooting.

  ### 38. Perfect solution for fair price.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 30, 2021

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

Easy to deploy, very powerful devices, good support team.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

Everything is fine, but the only thing I am missing is the technical documentation.

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We needed a reliable clustered load balancer to migrate from another loadbalancer.

  ### 39. Kemp LoadMaster Review

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** James W. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2020

**Describe the project or task Progress Kemp LoadMaster helped with:**

We were able to  block older security protocol and cipher suites like RC4 and SSL 3.0 with a few check boxes on each virtual service on the load balancers, very little effort required and no real server maintenance needed.

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

The interface is very straight forward, it is not complicated to figure out what steps are needed to create a new virtual service or apply a certificate.  It has also been very reliable, we have not had any downtime with this product.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

For some reason I can't get the automatic backups to work.  The manual backups work fine and we don't make a ton of changes but I would like to have them be automatic.

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The best benefit is security - the ability to take individual servers offline for patching easily is a big bonus for us as well as blocking non-secure protocols

**Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2021

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

I really appreciate how knowledgeable the support staff is with answers to my questions and documentation

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

The user interface is a little cumbersome. As I do not use the dashboard very often I have a bit of difficulty finding what I need or what I can do

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We mostly use the Kemp to provide publicly available sites on the internet while also enabling HA for applications that can support that.

  ### 42. Kemp Load Balancer = Best around

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2020

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

How easy it is to take a machine up and down and Kemp doesn't skip a beat. It allows us to reboot machines and keep the line of business up with no hiccups.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

I wish their reporting and or graphics of stats was a little better, there are  a little outdated with the size and the options you have for reporting. Granted its a load balancer so not a lot is needed, but i wish for little more.

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Problems would be our DR plan, we have 2 load balancers one at main site and another at DR.  we are allowed now to move server to DR and change IP on server, and Kemp picks it up and DR site and we are up and running .

  ### 43. Application loadbalancer that actually works and doesn't cost and arm and a leg

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lou M. | VP/CTO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 16, 2020

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

The product works as advertised. it is not every expensive, the support is fantastic and the user interface is easy.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

I really cannot say we dislike anything. It is really a well designed product and works as expected.

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We needed to load balance our Microsoft Exchange email servers.   We were able to put the box in in less than 30 minutes successfully and now we have our inbound mail and webmail load balanced perfectly.  Their support was excellent and the sales process was easy.  A really good company here!

  ### 44. Great Product , does what it is designed for.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Networking | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2020

**Describe the project or task Progress Kemp LoadMaster helped with:**

We currently use multiple Kemp appliances to load-balance the delivery of email to our CAS\Mailbox environment.

Previously, we had multiple CAS servers and Mailbox servers and Kemp was handling that environment greatly. We also used it to migrate to a Single CAS with multiple DAGs. The process was very simple on the Kemp side. It also assisted us in making less needed changes on the Exchange environment since delivery for DNS records points to the kemp device to handle the loading balancing. Migration times were significantly lower due to having less changes needed.

We also are using it to assist us with uptime due to any possible maintenance windows we have and/or any troubleshooting with the server environment. Kemp allowed us to reboot servers and not affect mail delivery, as it will still deliver to a different node.

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

The load-balancing is the biggest feature, of course. It just works. If one CAS goes down, Kemp will still deliver to the other server. It is the same with multiple mailbox servers. If one goes down then mail can still be delivered, due to the fact that Kemp is handling the communications.

Updates are easy to apply and don't cause downtime as long as you have two load-balancers. 

The product also allows us to limit certain services on the Exchange server. Allows more control and Access Control Lists (ACLs) for internal and or external access. Instead of making changes in IIS on a server, you can have Kemp control it.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

Obviously, there are a lot of moving parts and fields\settings on Kemp LoadMaster. Not all the settings are easily understandable. It would be helpful if there were a way to incorporate tooltips on the fields so that we don't have to dig through documentation.

I don't expect the software to assist in migrations, but it would be a plus if they had more documentation on Exchange migrations with Kemp and specific changes that need to be made. However, support is very knowledgeable and assisted us.

I would like to see an increase in the knowledge base on technical issues or common troubles.

**Recommendations to others considering Progress Kemp LoadMaster:**

Product works great. Once it is setup there isn't much maintenance needed. Even updates are easy. Support is A+

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

At this time we aren't having any problems with the device. Once we got it configured correctly and its doing what it should be doing, its just maintenance after that point until we do another migration.

  ### 45. Good No-Frills, Exchange-oriented HA/Clustered Load Balancer

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2020

**Describe the project or task Progress Kemp LoadMaster helped with:**

During our On-Prem Exchange Upgrade we needed a modern, scalable, robust & simple solution to load balance and route mail from outside to internal applications, MTAs and Exchange Hubs.  We also needed the same for end-user based serves like ActiveSync and OWA/Autodiscover.

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

The best thing about Kemps is the pure uptime and resiliency, ease of administration and issue resolution with their support.  The UI is unintimidating to novice admins, forgiving with mistakes and relatively intuitive.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

The certificate monitoring and alerting is lacking, as is the modernization of cert implementation in general.  The somewhat dated feel of the UI, although it is effective.  The real-time monitoring of VIPs is somewhat dumbed-down only showing up/down with no visual granularity into Real Server statuses, logs are needed for that.

**Recommendations to others considering Progress Kemp LoadMaster:**

Deploy this with confidence.  You will likely have no problem setting it up, and even if you do have an issue, their spectacular support will hold your hand the whole way if needed.

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're solving uptime of our front door email ingress as well as robust routing and performance.  We've realized the benefit of 99.999+ uptime in inbound email/end-user service provisioning & simplified routing changes over years-long periods

  ### 46. Excellent & cost effective Load-Balancer solution

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Security and Investigations | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2020

**Describe the project or task Progress Kemp LoadMaster helped with:**

We have multiple application servers, hosting third-party solutions, which we need to provide a resilient and highly available service for, but this is not natively supported by the vendors of those solutions. Prior to using Kemp, in order to achieve this, this meant manual failovers when performing maintenance on these application servers; for example, amending the registry of all users who were logged in at the time, amending internal DNS and/or amending the desktop shortcuts of logged in users to point them to a different application server.

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

The Kemp Loadmasters are reliable, we have had no outages in the three years of using the product.

The product is easy to use, it is intuitive and it is backed by the Kemp Vision product which monitors the load balancers and provides alerts when any health check issues are detected (for example, when an application server unexpectedly goes offline, the health check fails and performs an automatic failover but you are ﻿﻿﻿﻿also notified of the failure in order to correct it).
﻿As well as external DNS resolution, we have implemented the Kemp LM's into our internal network for additional resiliency e.g. load balancing between Active Directory servers.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

We have not found any issues during three years of using this product. In particular, the support desk have always been incredibly helpful and quick to respond when we have had any questions on how a feature works or best practice of setting up a new solution.﻿﻿
﻿In terms of additional features, we have not found anything that would enhance the product further than what we are currently able to achieve with it. With the Enterprise Plus support subscription, which is not an expensive solution, we have the best level of support on the odd occasions we have any questions.

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Kemp LoadMaster is being used across our whole organisation for a variety of solutions, both internally and externally. It provides a dynamic DNS resolution with health checks to ensure the services we provide are resilient and highly available.

Kemp has worked great for us where we have multiple application servers or services that cannot be load balanced automatically by the application themselves. Using the Kemp health check and DNS resolution, we are able to provide a resilient service and it has removed the need for manual intervention with end users.

  ### 47. Cloud ready KEMP VLM

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David D. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 23, 2020

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

They KEMP developed a lot on the VLM product to make it cloud ready. Luckily the features and fixes were implemented quite quickly like 10G NIC and Global balancing support.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

The probing configuration should be more sophisticated, because possibly not cover all use cases.

**Recommendations to others considering Progress Kemp LoadMaster:**

The support is good and acting quickly. They are also hear the recommendation or requests from smaller companies too.

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

During the vendor selection the other products were on-prem heavy robust solutions. That means much more cost and issues within the cloud. The KEMP solution is serving our needs and working well in Azure.

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Simply loadbalancing all types of traffic

  ### 49. KEMP is a great product for load balancing and providing redundancy

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jacob W. | Pastor/Elder, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 23, 2020

**Describe the project or task Progress Kemp LoadMaster helped with:**

We use it primarily for load balancing in our Exchange environment (DAG). We're a small organization but we have a few DAG members for internal redundancy and to accommodate our growing email volume, and KEMP has made that easy to manage by providing virtual services that can load balance those workloads.

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

It has built in template for creating load balancing services which has been very helpful during the initial setup.

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

I ﻿wouldn't mind seeing the GUI become more polished and easier for first-time users.

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Redundancy and load balancing are very important for several of our services and KEMP has helped us accomplish those goals.

  ### 50. KEMP Virtual Loadmaster

**Reviewed by:** Akito I. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 12, 2020

**What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

Simplicity and cost effective solution that works well

**What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?**

form entry. some changes take place immediately, some field require you to hit apply.

**What problems is Progress Kemp LoadMaster solving and how is that benefiting you?**

One of our use cases involves Exchange 2016. So it is doing edge security and authentication, as well as loadbalancing both on the application level and with DNS.
