We've used Kemp products for years. They are solid platforms that do exactly what we require them to do in load-balancing our traffic. They just work.
Their support team is also top-notch. The very few configuration issues we've run into, they've been able to take care of the same day. They are outstanding and knowledgeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have been Kemp customers for about six years. I can't say in that time that we've ever had any significant issues with the product, the sales team or product support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been in a organization that has used Kemp for almost 10 years, I can say it is top notch and will remain for many years to come we use it as a Reverse proxy, WAF and Load Balancer. If I have a problem I pick up the phone and support is always helpful, is the best vendor I deal with by far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has has a few CVEs in the last year or so, progress however usually sends a update to customers before the CVE is public which is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We implemented our LoadMasters years ago to support a new software we are adding to the organizaiton. We had ordered two expensive hardware loadbalancers and had them sitting in a recieving dock when a contractor and Kemp enthusiast said "hardware loadbalancers thats crazy just use Kemps". We looked into them and we fell in love. They are easy setup, easy to use, powerful, and stable. They have become a backbone of our organizaiton supporing numerous sevices both internal and external. Best of all the support is great, anytime we have problems we contact Kemp support and they help us right away. This is a great poducsts and we highly recommend it.

I honestly can't think of anyting I don't like about the Kemps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The support at Kemp is wonderful and easy to work with. Their constuling 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 Flexablbilty to do many tasks. It is used every day by our staff for external and internal load balanaing and remote access. I was easy to install and upgrade. It also has many ways to intergrate 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.
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. Everythign 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 missconfigured.

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.
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 challenege to navigate and administrate when you have a large amount of Virtual IP's or Virtual Services in use and page is constantly reloading.

The online documentation is easy to follow. We utilize ours for our locally hosted pages in our dmz and are migrating our UAG servers to this as well. The process has been smooth and we have been able to get quick responses from support when we run into issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The menu options in the UI are a little nested and difficult to locate. Online documentation is sufficient to assist, however I feel that it could use an update to become more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
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.
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.
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.
