Watch out for potential sudden steep price changes, though." — 5.0/5 > **Nathan** | *June 19, 2018* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very flexible and affordable load balancers. They work great, with very little hands-on maintenance required to keep them running smooth. > > **Cons**: Kemp unexpectedly raised the prices on their maintenance plans, and they now cost double what they did a few years ago. This was quite a shock to us since we had not received any sort of warning that their maintenance prices were going to be increased, and they had no flexibility on this price change. We had already budgeted for the maintenance renewal based on a budgetary quote they gave us a few months before the price change, and as a result we had to go severely over budget in order to keep our equipment covered. > > Great load balancers for our Microsoft Exchange mail systems at an affordable cost. ----- ### "Reasonably pricey, but customer support is excellent" — 5.0/5 > **Eljakim** | *November 15, 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The KEMP load balancers just work. For our purpose where we have about 25.000 concurrent users working on various web applications, it's a simple and easy solution that makes the entire application much more scalable. > > **Cons**: The KEMP has a built in feature to do caching. I would like to be able to specify exactly which file types I want to specify; KEMP has it the other way around where you can specify certain things NOT to cache. Also, the way to temporarily disable real servers is a bit weird; you can disable a real server, but the system will keep sending existing users to that server, yet it won't show in the statistics how much traffic is going to the server. > > Our high load solutions are very scalable; enabling HTTP/2 was literally checking a single checkbox. ----- ### "Loadmaster - An economical investment" — 3.0/5 > **Christine** | *September 13, 2018* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Kemp's pricing makes this product much more affordable than other options on the markete. > > **Cons**: Lack of some advanced features other competitors have > > This is an affordable alternative to F5 and some of the more expensive load balancers on the market. ----- ### "Great Product for all SLB needs" — 5.0/5 > **Peter** | *February 6, 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to deploy in all situations. Varying license types to accommodate most users. > > **Cons**: It's not terribly intuitive when you come from another competing Vendor. > > Great support from pre-sales to Post sales to pro services. Everyone I've interacted with knows their core competencies extremely well. ----- ### "Best value and support that I have seen in a long time\!" — 5.0/5 > **Ken** | *November 15, 2019* | Maritime | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The virtual load balancer was inexpensive and very easy to install and create/use but the technical support is excellent\! I emailed a setup question in for the free trial load balancer and received a answer within an hour\! I was then asked to do a remote session so they could check what I had done so far and also offered the help finish the setup\! I elected to finish on my own to learn the software and the support tech would email me asking for updates and if I needed any additional help all the way through the trial and licensing of the complete software\! This level of support has not been seen in years, please keep it up\! > > **Cons**: So far have not been able to find a single con. > > Took only a few hours to set up and now it just runs and we forget about it\! ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/140392/loadmaster?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/140392/loadmaster) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
