A tool that offers its users resiliency, high availability, and a great scalability

In my company, we use it to post, you know, a variety of business applications, like ERP, finance applications, and legal applications, which we post using EC2 instances The most valuable feature of the solution is its pay-as-you-go model. You don't pay when you shut down the instances. The…

Good feature set and is simple to deploy

In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else. We sort of stopped deploying them because of that. There are additional costs to the standard licensing. There are bandwidth prices. The feature set is quite good. We've been told to stop using them because of the price. If they can do something to address that I believe it would be better. On the latest version they've got a community edition, which is quite a good bandwidth, but in essence, it's to address the entry-level price. When you get to 10 gig bandwidth, it's way too expensive.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Security and monitoring for high-performance applications are some of the top features."

"It has very good features. It is very configurable. Security with TLS, et cetera is also very easy."

"The Elastic Load Balancer facilitates the distribution of incoming application traffic, which directs requests to various servers, preventing overload on a single instance."

"It is straightforward to deploy."

"The solution is very well integrated into Amazon's services."

"It is a very scalable solution in which you can add more servers instantly."

"The solution offers good load balancing."

"The feature that I like the most is the scalability. The solutions I build often have many pieces, which are very complicated. If a client comes to me with a design, my developer has made this as a template or a cloud formation script. It's a design on paper, and I want it executed a certain way. I can do that quickly and repeatedly with AWS. That is a considerable advantage because I can take that template and do it five times in different zones. That is an excellent feature based on a template, et cetera."

More Amazon Elastic Load Balancing pros

"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."

Cons

"It would be good if we had a product that integrates well with third-party vendors. Some of our customers want a multi-cloud solution. They don't want to be tied up to or be in just one cloud."

"We faced some issues with the health check."

"One issue that we faced with ALB was that leaf-level certificate validation was not happening. It is not that user-friendly in that aspect."

"The product should be made as an alternative to Amazon services. It would be easier for us if you got one service that is available everywhere."

"They should improve the solution's pricing."

"The reporting could be simplified so that the client sees a report of what they cached at the end of the month and the number of hits. It should have metrics above and beyond their Google analytics, etc. You can't do that with the solutions from AWS. You have to build sophisticated cloud trails, reports, dashboards, etc. The setup is significant, and it's hard to manage. You'll need to hire someone or pay a consultant on a regular basis to manage it, and it's not for the faint of heart."

"The solution needs to guarantee stability because multiple loads behind a load balancer can cause service unavailability."

"The tool could enhance the internal load balancer with better health monitoring. The external load balancer needs more security parameters to protect it from the internet, as it currently lacks protection. It's okay for basic load balancing and those looking for basic functionality in an application load balancer. However, if someone is going to onboard a critical application, like in the banking sector, I wouldn't suggest Amazon Elastic Load Balancer because of security issues. There are no firewall restrictions."

More Amazon Elastic Load Balancing cons

"In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is low and I rate it a nine out of ten."

"I have no issues with the tool's pricing."

"There is a yearly license."

"The solution is expensive."

"The solution's pricing is $30 per month."

"The product is not cheap."

"The licensing fees are based on the number of connections one uses. It is a free tool for a certain amount of connections, which runs into thousands, and after that, there is a certain amount to be paid to Amazon."

Overview

Elastic Load Balancing automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as Amazon EC2 instances, containers, IP addresses, and Lambda functions. It can handle the varying load of your application traffic in a single Availability Zone or across multiple Availability Zones. Elastic Load Balancing offers three types of load balancers that all feature the high availability, automatic scaling, and robust security necessary to make your applications fault tolerant.

Ivanti Virtual Web Application Firewall delivers scalable application security for off-the-shelf and custom applications, including third-party frameworks. Apply business rules to online traffic, inspect and block attacks such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS), and filter outgoing traffic and data to mask credit card data. Ivanti Virtual Web Application Firewall helps achieve compliance with PCI-DSS requirements.
