What do you like best about the product?
Easy to set up and maintain. The use is simple and documentation is provided. The support is responsive.

Presentation details could be improved, but especially the logging part is insufficient. The ADC portal is a very good idea, but it lacks maturity. Keep trying!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
First of all, the load balancer provides high availability for many services: Exchange, DNS, LDAP, Print, Web. You can stop 1 server without losing the service, which is very useful for updates, for example.

Great support. We would be stuck without them

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a multiple server environment with thousands of installed certificates in a high traffic environment. We need to update and install certificates via API, set up complex routing situations, and have a complex set of rules. The product itself is very nice and easy to use.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Great Support Team

Solid product and amazing support experience
What do you like best about the product?
The product is has been solid for us. However, the most amazing thing is their support organization. I have been in the industry for more than 20 years, and they have been hands down the best support group that I have worked with over the years. We have also had the product in house for two years, so we are not new to the solution and experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
There has been truly nothing to dislike. They have been rock solid as a product, and support organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We currently use Load Balancer Enterprise ADC in two sites in front of our onsite object storage solution.
Helps prevent server overload by distributing the load across multiple servers, ensuring stability and enhancing security
What is our primary use case?
We're working on a project where our customers use HJ. We utilize their load balancer to evenly distribute the data load between multiple servers, ensuring that one server doesn't become overloaded.
How has it helped my organization?
Since I'm relatively new to the load-balancing scene, my current focus is primarily on data load-balancing.
What is most valuable?
If all the data traffic is directed to a single server, it can become overwhelmed. Load balancing helps us distribute both incoming and outgoing data loads evenly among the servers, preventing overload on a single server.
What needs improvement?
We could enhance the security aspects of the load balancer. For instance, when data passes through the load balancer, it could potentially include sensitive files or trade-related data. It would be beneficial to have additional features that help identify and protect against any unauthorized access or file leakage.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for past two months.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is scalable and I would rate it an eight out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
We're not currently using it because I've been testing it for about a month, and so far, everything seems fine.
How was the initial setup?
The choice of environment depends and specific needs and requirements. The setup process for the testing phase typically takes me around 30 minutes to an hour. It involves installing the tool and entering necessary information like SSL details. The staffing requirement depends on the project's size, with a small-scale solution typically requiring only one person to manage. I would rate it seven out of ten.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
So far, I would rate it around a five out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
Loadbalancer.org is highly valuable for organizations dealing with extensive file transfers. It helps prevent server overload by distributing the load across multiple servers, ensuring stability and enhancing security.
I would rate it an eight out of ten.
Best support around!
What do you like best about the product?
Load Balancer's ADC is the easiest and most manageble Load Balancer I have worked with. From clear concise guides to a knowledgable and supportive team
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found a downside with LoadBalancer.orgs LoadBalancer or support team!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working with PaperCut Print Management Solution, Load Balancer's ADC gives a level of failover and high availability to organisations worldwide.
Customer Support is top-notch.
What do you like best about the product?
I had a technical question that needed another technician to help. They could explain what I needed to do and provide links to documentation. Both technicians were beneficial and quick to respond. A++
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing for multi-year support could be better. Support should rarely need to be contacted once the appliance setup up and running.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have servers that are not directly accessible to the outside world. The load balancers offered by Loadbalancer.org include reverse proxy to provide a solution for our setup. The addition of DDOS protection, not being an additional purchase, is a significant benefit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Loadbalancer.org's load balancers are fully featured and include many extras that other companies charge for. Support is great.
