"Great user experience and efficient support"
What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?

It is a fairly simple solution to implement, flexible and robust. It uses very few resources and allows intelligent configurations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?

They should introduce some more smart sorting filters and a debug that is easier to interpret. It would be perfect if they introduced a simulation tool so that they could test the behaviour of a service based on a simulated call Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Kemp Loadmaster works!"
What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?

This is a "set it and forget it" type solution. Once it's in, configured, and working, there's almost no need to even think about it. It's simple to use for the users, and it works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?

Initial configuration required an engineer. Swapping out certificates is a bit of an issue, and you need to watch for security updates periodically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great service, great product!!"
What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?

The diversity! I feel like we can throw just about anything at it and things just work. Not to mention the amazing templates they have available for use. Additionally, the customer support has been just about top notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?

The interface is a little rough in 2024, and the licensing is a little ridgid. While I understand their point of view, I would prefer the appliance to revert to a reduced functionality mode and offer a bit of a grace period. We all know the higher ups have plenty of time to get the quotes approved, but we also know they wait until the due date. This is not typically something controlled by the operator of the appliance and makes things rough at times. Not necessarily their problem, but most products are a tad more friendly on renewals. Gen 2 Hyper V template would also be awesome instead of the gen 1. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

""It Just Works""
What do you like best about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?

Kemp Load Balancers are now offered as a VM appliance which not only makes deployment easier, but also makes it a bit more nimble around our network. I like the ease of use, and organization of the software. It gives enough options for us to use in each use case we have had. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Progress Kemp LoadMaster?

Some more advanced features aren't available, for example, reverse proxy abilities, and the interface is outdated a bit - albeit nice and simple Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
