Find out what your peers are saying about NetScaler, F5, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC).
The major return on investment is the security of our data.
I would rate the technical support of F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) nine out of ten.
We have not received technical support from Kemp LoadMaster without a license.
Kemp LoadMaster is a scalable solution.
With the license purchase afterwards, if it expires, it begins dropping the HTTP traffic, also the DNS traffic.
After that, they said if it was good, we could purchase the license, and while we found it very good, the license cost was too high.
The product is costly.
One of the most beneficial features of F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) is its ability to identify compromised traffic and its capabilities in authentication.
We had some issues in patching management, so we deployed this product for virtual patching, the IPS rule, and it gives us very good results because we have very critical servers.

Kemp LoadMaster is a powerful load balancing solution that also serves as a web application firewall. Its primary use case is load balancing and application load balancing, making it an ideal solution for organizations that must distribute traffic across multiple servers. Kemp's integration with an active directory for ESP usage, hosting/deployment of SSL certificates, and pricing are some of its most valuable features.
Using Kemp has helped organizations mitigate cross-scripting vulnerabilities, cookie-related issues, and content security policy issues. It has also allowed them to handle everything with Kemp instead of working on each application individually.
