Support has been fantastic, and the solution and support were priced well. Great sales experience due to not having to go through a channel partner. Learning how to use the ADC and finding new capabilities has also been enjoyable. Pros Functionality. This is a flexible solution that can accommodate complex configurations. The ADC provides a nice web interface to manage the open source tools that are under the hood. Cons Observability. I wish there were built-in WAF dashboards similar to what you see in tools like Reblaze. The data is there, it is just difficult to satisfy an auditor that the WAF is doing its job without pretty graphs that show detected/blocked traffic. We integrated with Wazuh to achieve that, but it would be nice if this was native or in the portal. Alternatives considered [LoadMaster Load Balancer](https://www.capterra.com/p/140392/LoadMaster/) Reason for choosing Load Balancer Enterprise ADC Sales experience, slightly better cost, much better support cost. Review Source Response from Loadbalancer.org July 17, 2025 Thank you for your review! Your feedback is greatly appreciated. MK Marco K. Network Engineer Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Loadbalancer Enterprise ADC, it just works" September 26, 2025 5.0 Overall i am very happy with the performance and the solution LoadBalancer Enterprise ADC is delivering. Pros Although the solution is very powerful and flexible, configuring your solution is very easy. It just works. Cons If i need to think about a feature i like the least, maybe sounds boring but if the box does something funny, support will always help you out Alternatives considered [F5 BIG-IP](https://www.capterra.com/p/234897/BIG-IP-LTM/) Reason for choosing Load Balancer Enterprise ADC Currently the main reason is the price, we are also still using F5 products Review Source Response from Loadbalancer.org September 29, 2025 Thank you for your review, here at Loadbalancer.org we really appreciate your feedback!

Virtual Infrastructure Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Consistently Strong Product and Support Experience" March 25, 2026 5.0 Overall, our experience with Loadbalancer over the past year has been excellent. Support has been consistently responsive and proactive, especially when assisting with special configurations that required additional expertise. Pros The Loadbalancer team provides excellent support and is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we have the information needed to keep our systems running smoothly. Cons I’m not aware of any notable cons when working with the Loadbalancer support team. The systems operate as designed and meet our expectations.

Submitted a ticket after hours and with minutes I was in a session to resolve the issue. Pros Professional. Working great and support is easy. Cons Nothing. So far so good Review Source ES Ed S. Head of IT Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product by a great company!" February 5, 2026 5.0 Great company to deal with. Solid product with plenty of features. Doesn't need constant tinkering or maintenance once up and running (except for patching). Pricing is good for top tier product, and offers good value for money. Pros The appliance provides a huge amount of configuration options, with a lot of granular control to suit most hosting environments. We use it for balancing between web servers to provide failover capabilities and it does the job without complaining. No performance impact. The support is what really sets Loadbalancer.org aside from similar products. Very responsive and knowledgeable engineers, no need to deal with 1st line gatekeepers. Every time I've dealt with support, I've only been met with friendly, approachble people who know their stuff. Cons It can be a steep learning curve for anyone new to this. If you've come with existing experience with HAProxy or other Apache-based reverse-proxy platforms, you may find it easier to get started. However, the onboarding process and support has been really helpful. Alternatives considered [Cloudflare](https://www.capterra.com/p/155191/Cloudflare/) Reason for choosing Load Balancer Enterprise ADC Better value for money as we use a lot of different domains, resulting in very high costs for cloud alternatives. Switched from [XG Firewall](https://www.capterra.com/p/187688/Sophos-XG-Firewall/) Moving away from Sophos, which conveniently had a built-in HAProxy module. We need a like-for-like replacement that is firewall agnostic. Review Source JS Joe S. Vice President Market Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SMB enthusiastic user" September 2, 2025 5.0 Very positive and highly recommended - As a generalist, I need to be able to quickly adopt new technology without a steep learning curve. Pros Easy to adopt in a small IT shop, does what it's supposed to do, easily updated and support is smart, friendly and available. No downtime or incidents in my three years of use. Cons I struggled to make use of the online features (update and backup), and ultimately decided I didn't need them. Alternatives considered [F5 BIG-IP](https://www.capterra.com/p/234897/BIG-IP-LTM/) Reason for choosing Load Balancer Enterprise ADC price was much better for a small business Review Source BY Brandon Y. VP Information Systems Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Wonderful Experience" November 13, 2025 5.0 Been using loadbalancer.org for years and have had an absolutely wonderful experience. Initial configuration was straight forward. And over the years as I've needed more complex configurations I've either found them in the documentation, or the support team has been really good for both helping me identify options, as well as troubleshoot different behaviors. Can't say enough good things about the support I've received. Pros Simple setup Flexible load balancing Layer 4 UDP Direct Response Layer 4 Excellent Support SSL Offloading Simple Remote GUI to manage things Cons Linux Kernel doesn't support latest virtual machine versions. But that isn't negatively affecting the performance or anything. Alternatives considered [NGINX](https://www.capterra.com/p/233717/NGINX-Plus/)[LoadMaster Load Balancer](https://www.capterra.com/p/140392/LoadMaster/) Reason for choosing Load Balancer Enterprise ADC Chose loadbalancer.org because of feature set and pricing. Other low priced offerings didn't support Layer4 UDP load balancing. Others that did were priced much higher. Review Source Response from Loadbalancer.org November 25, 2025 Thank you for your review!

Senior SRE Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product and support" October 17, 2025 5.0 I would just reiterate my satisfaction with the support and product. We've been using this service for years as a result of the good support and product line aligning well with our needs. Pros I very much appreciate the quick response time, attention to my explanation, and the willingness to go above and beyond to help solve the problems we were facing. The flexibility with how we are deploying and configuring is a huge factor as well. Cons I didn't have any complaints. So far everything has been straight forward. The product works, the support is great, and the flexibility is there. Alternatives considered [NGINX](https://www.capterra.com/p/233717/NGINX-Plus/) Reason for choosing Load Balancer Enterprise ADC Better support, easier implementation, and overall better fit for our needs at the time. Review Source HM Holger M. Professional Services Engineer Information Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A reliable product." June 5, 2025 5.0 A robust and trustworthy product that users can count on for consistent performance and minimal downtime. Pros The system is designed to be user-friendly and straightforward to configure, even for those with limited technical experience. It features a well-designed, intuitive web-based user interface (WebUI) that allows for efficient navigation and management of settings. Upgrading to newer versions is a seamless process, requiring minimal downtime and ensuring compatibility with existing configurations. Cons The Web-based user interface (WebUI) does not currently provide an option to configure or adjust the time interval between individual monitoring checks, requiring manual modification through backend settings or configuration files instead. Alternatives considered [HAProxy Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/140407/HAProxy-Enterprise-Edition/) Reason for choosing Load Balancer Enterprise ADC I only know the Open Source variant, and it lacks a GUI. Review Source EH Eric H. IT Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A quality product, highly reccomend" November 14, 2025 5.0 We have been extremely happy with the product the entire time, our questions and concerns are all solved in a timely manner and support is prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. Pros It was not difficult to set up and get running, and the documentation was extensive. The support team has been excellent. There are extensive sets of options to configure the load balancer. Cons The worst thing I could say is that it feels like the device is geared towards developers and requires a high level of technical knowledge. Alternatives considered [Google Cloud Load Balancing](https://www.capterra.com/p/246680/Cloud-Load-Balancing/) Reason for choosing Load Balancer Enterprise ADC we were more impressed by the team at loadbalancer.org than the others, they showed up and clearly stood behind their product. Switched from [F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager](https://www.capterra.com/p/234903/BIG-IP-Access-Policy-Manager/) Unhappy with the security options of the previous load balancer. Review Source Response from Loadbalancer.org November 17, 2025 Hi Eric, Thank you for your amazing feedback! Serena www.loadbalancer.org RB Robèrt B.

February 24, 2025 5.0 Great! we started small with one balancer, but as this little gem got more important for us we bought another one so we now have even greater uptime. We us our loadbalancer HA sollution for our hospital and it has to be 24/7 up! As far we have not be dissapointed! Pros Easy to setup, great manuals, good support that really know were they are talking about. And the costs are also acceptable. Cons I cant think of anything...

RM Reagan M. Principal Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Load Balancer Enterprise ADC review" December 18, 2024 5.0 Experience has been consistently satisfying with Load balancer ADC. Pros load balancer enterprise has a quick and easy solution to gather and send all troubleshooting information to support for analysis Cons Need to manually reload services after every change Review Source Response from Loadbalancer.org January 17, 2025 Hi Reagan, Thanks very much for the feedback. Yes, the reload prompt can be a bit annoying. I'm not sure if you already know, but the reload is designed so that it can be performed after multiple changes, and it is transparent i.e. never causes downtime. Maybe we need to make that more obvious with the prompt description? Thanks again for your feedback, it's much appreciated. AM Andy M. Head of Architecture Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Loadbalancer Migration" February 14, 2025 5.0 Brilliant, great support as always, could maybe do with setting up some sessions between Smoothwall and Loadbalancer.org in the future Pros Quick and simple UI. Configuring HA is simple. Cons N/A -- I have to create some random sentence to submit this ... Review Source Response from Loadbalancer.org February 25, 2025 Thank you for your constructive feedback.

Bright white is pain on the eyes in a dashboard NOC Reason for choosing Load Balancer Enterprise ADC We actually purchased the Kemp after the LoadBalancer.org since vendor recommended it but it is not intuitive as LoadBalancer.org Review Source DK Daraius K. Chief Technology Officer Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Functional, Cost Effective, Easy and Reliable " October 31, 2019 4.0 Overall Experiance = Very Good Pros Functional, Cost Effective Implimentation took half the time compared to other more popular appliances Easy to support and maintain Excellent Documentation and Suport from loadbalancer.org via email and phone Cons The Interface is simple and intuitive but can be at times clunky. Have found it works better in Chrome. Would like to see facelift on the interface. MIBs are available for monitoring the appliance but could do with adverting these and making them easier to download Review Source CB Christophe B. Responsable IT Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We use this solution to blance the connection load to our customer website on our six web servers." April 17, 2018 5.0 it's easy to setup and use, it's really nice to communicate with their custumers service who is quick and qualified. Pros Loabalancer.org solutions are esay to setup and administrate. They can balance differents protocols with the same applicance. We really like the Direct Routing method to get a really good reponse time for our custumors even if this method requier some adjustements on web servers to work properly. Cons In the past i have got a issue with the serial cable that use for making a cluster work. I think they can improve this part to automaticaly setup the cluster when a specific cable is connected on two appliance for exemple. Review Source AD Angelos D. IT officer Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "good product, great value for money, with excellent support" April 13, 2018 5.0 full load balancing for exchange, without the pricetag of much more expensive hardware. No "expiring" hardware (As we got the vm) and it was even supported in hyper-v environment... Pros very good, stable, and understandable product. I cant pinpoint anything for the use it is running on, to the contrary I can feel system is overall a winner. Support is very good, and know their stuff, and that's what puts everything together. Cons well, nothing much really - we forget that its actually there, the only problem is the boss thinks you are not working hard enough... Review Source CM Christian M. IT administrator Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Our two Enterprise R16 Load balancers are running now for years without any problems." April 11, 2018 5.0 They simply do what they were bought for. Pros The load balancers are running very stable, provide a good performance and after a while you do not even know you are using them because they are inconspicuous. Cons There is nothing to complain about, no performance or stability issues, no need to reboot. Rare software updates because there isn't much you can make better when the product is perfect. :-) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Infrastructure Specialist/Team Leader | Adapt Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Used in multiple data centre locations paired and standalone" April 13, 2018 5.0 Pros Ease of configuration being used in multiple sites globally.

The solution delivers consistent performance, strong failover capabilities, and integrates well with our existing infrastructure. Pros Load Balancer Enterprise ADC offers stable and reliable performance with strong high availability and failover capabilities. It efficiently distributes traffic, integrates well with existing infrastructure, and has proven dependable in production environments over time. Cons The initial setup and configuration can be complex and may require experienced administrators. Some advanced features have a learning curve, and more detailed documentation would be helpful for certain enterprise use cases. Review Source JB Jon B. Director of Infrastructure Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Value, Exceptional Support" July 22, 2025 5.0 We've had a positive experience with Load Balancer Enterprise ADC, which has served as the backbone of our production infrastructure for several years. The product has consistently demonstrated reliability, performance, and scalability, enabling us to maintain smooth operations with minimal disruption. Pros Their support team is outstanding. Few vendors we’ve worked with offer the same level of responsiveness, technical expertise, and commitment to resolving issues. In an industry where many products offer similar core functionality, it’s the quality of support that truly sets Load Balancer Enterprise ADC apart. Whether facing a complex configuration question or troubleshooting a critical issue, their support staff consistently delivers timely, knowledgeable assistance that makes a significant difference in our operational confidence. Cons Over the past few years, we’ve encountered a handful of bugs across different versions that led to brief outages in our production environment. While these incidents were disruptive, they were not frequent and were typically resolved quickly. Fortunately, the vendor’s support team was responsive and effective, helping us identify and implement fixes in a timely manner. Still, more rigorous regression testing prior to new releases would improve confidence in long-term stability.

I've raised tickets for major outages and small "how do I?" questions and got good responses. Pros Easy to use, liked the menu groupings, very nice GUI. Current state of services is clear to see. Good documentation. Cons Nothing comes to mind, it really just works, there are no real "gotchas" or tricky bits on the configuration.
