Progress Kemp LoadMaster Reviews & Product Details

Simplicity of deploying and managing Kemp. Responsiveness of support staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 consulting 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 flexibility to do many tasks. It is used every day by our staff for external and internal load balancing and remote access. It was easy to install and upgrade. It also has many ways to integrate 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.

suddenly it has bugs that if I modify something while I have a workload, the web service fails and I have to restart it for it to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy deployment and implementation, bunch of features, good customer support and in general, a good product for the value Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

The loadmaster software has been crucial for us. Kemp's LoadMaster VM is the right size for our organization in both size and cost. Everything about this product has been flawless for us in dependability/reliability. We just don't have to worry about it doing what it is designed to do. Very capable well beyond what our needs are. It was very easy to deploy inside of our VMware environment and integrated with our processes seamlessly. If we've ever had to contact support, they have been very helpful and give clear instructions for configuration or troubleshooting what we might have misconfigured.

It isn't free? That isn't a real dislike. It is hard to think of anything and I honestly can't come up with anything we've not liked about it since going with the Kemp LoadMaster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does its job without having much expertise & experience to spend on it. Strong Load balancing capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Over all its good but WAF should be much strong since its only about Top 10 OWASP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple UI and starts ready to use. Also cheap Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product is very weak about WAF. Also every year we get security breaches warnings etc. It is not a good experience for customers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kemp LoadMaster is not overly complex or over engineered unlike some products I have used in the past. Setting up an HA pair was effortless. Kemp support is proactive in their mailings to patch any security vulnerability that is discovered and disclosed.

Internally we love the Lets Encrypt and Kubernetes ingress controller functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's hard to come up with much of a list about negatives, but with the UI being as simple as it is, it does become a challenge to navigate and administrate when you have a large amount of Virtual IP's or Virtual Services in use and page is constantly reloading.
