Manage complex traffic routing with ease and ensure system availability
The ELB would benefit from allowing deployment in a single availability zone for test servers to avoid unnecessary costs. Additionally, the ability to directly block specific IP addresses without additional service integration would be beneficial. Furthermore, sometimes ALB has a delay in recognizing the need to scale the system based on CloudWatch metrics, which could use improvement.

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

"Amazon Elastic Load Balancing helps me efficiently distribute incoming application or network traffic across multiple targets, such as Amazon EC2 instances."
"Customer support is good."
"Amazon Elastic Load Balancing has shown great performance and efficiency, especially in high-traffic e-commerce applications during sales times."
"Amazon Elastic Load Balancing has improved our application availability by routing client requests only to healthy EC2 instances."
"The tool integrates well with Amazon native services. Its valuable feature is integrations."
"We use the solution for internet-exposed websites and internal load-balancing purposes."
"I find it valuable that you can provide rule prioritization and set priorities for path-based routing."
"I would recommend Amazon Elastic Load Balancing for its flexibility and scalability, which is ideal for AWS workloads."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."
 

Cons

"They could improve provisioning speed."
"AWS is doing well with Amazon Elastic Load Balancing, however, they could improve provisioning speed."
"Improvement is needed in the integration with Terraform, especially in writing scripts for creating load balancers and target groups."
"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."
"The ELB would benefit from allowing deployment in a single availability zone for test servers to avoid unnecessary costs."
"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."
"Clients sometimes face issues with Amazon Elastic Load Balancing, and it can take a long time to detect these issues."
"Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is superior for load balancing in terms of both cost and functionality."
"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

"There is a yearly license."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"I have no issues with the tool's pricing."
"The solution's pricing is low and I rate it a nine out of ten."
"The cost for using the application load balancer is approximately $18 to $21 per month."
"The product is not cheap."
"The solution's pricing is $30 per month."
