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.

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 CB Carolyn B. IT Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use" July 30, 2026 5.0 Coming from an f5 environment, it was refreshing to have something that's pared down to just the basics that we need for load-balancing - our team isn't having to navigate through unnecessary screens for the limited feature set we use Pros Easy to configure and use - simplified and easy to navigate UI Responsive customer support, if it's urgent they jump on almost immediately to assist, they're also incredibly kind and patient Cons having to re-add the same servers into multiple pools can be frustrating if you have a lot of servers - there's no pick list to choose from, if you have 10+ servers you have to manually add the same servers into each pool Switched from [F5 BIG-IP](https://www.capterra.com/p/234897/BIG-IP-LTM/) cost/complexity This was a company decision I was not involved in Review Source RM Ritesh M. Lead - System Admin Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Loadbalancer Support for Enterprise" July 6, 2026 5.0 Fantastic, Great and Timely Support, Stable and Enterprise friendly. Easy UI and Best Suitable for Aviation Industries Pros Stability and Post Deployement Support on the highlight issue. The problem was correctly identified with the root cause and resolved Cons As far as being the day to day user of LB, the product is very good for enterprises. It would be great if a online sinulator available for New User to experiment on the tool. Review Source CB Cristian B. DBA Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Top Support" June 9, 2026 5.0 In the last 5 years of use we had not a single bug or unavailability of service. Whenever we contacted the Support, we received an immediate attention to the question and a solution/instruction of the actions to be taken. Pros The installation and the management of the solution is particularly easy. Once the few prerequisites are met, we "forget" the product and we let it run. Cons Whenever a new server and service is added the configuration needs to be applied which causes a very short interruption of the service. Review Source Response from Loadbalancer.org July 19, 2026 Hi Christian, Thanks very much for the feedback. We probably need to make it more obvious, but the 'reload services' is 100% transaction safe. And doesn't cause any interuption to live services. It's purely so you can choose to bunch changes together before they take effect. 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! Serena www.loadbalancer.org 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!

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 RW Rod W. 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 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.

June 23, 2025 5.0 I've been using the products for a few years now and I've never had a negative experience with them. Pros Rock solid product and the support team are amazing. No other vendor I deal with responds as quickly. Cons The sheer breadth of functionality can make the learning curve pretty steep. They have detailed setup guides for a lot of platforms, it's worth seeing if there's one that matches your use case as it helps you get it right first time. Review Source NN Nikos N. Senior Network Engineer Philanthropy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product!" October 23, 2025 5.0 Pros It is value for money and the GUI is easy to navigate. The GUI is very easy to learn and documentation is comprehensible. Cons Some aspects rely on the underlying OS to function. You still need basic linux knowledge to work on some features.

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. SG Srikanth G. Enterprise Sales Architect Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing product with stability and absolutely zero maintenance " April 4, 2018 5.0 Pros Amazing product with stability and absolutely less maintenance and effective one time setup . Glad to know there are providing Cloud based Load balancers as well. Without doubt would propose Cloud based load balancers for my customers. Cons Improvements like multiple scheduling algorithms for distributing client load, All hosts in a cluster must be located in the same subnet, Cannot provide reverse proxy services functionality that is required for applications etc.. Review Source Response from Loadbalancer.org April 30, 2019 Srikanth, Thanks very much for your kind review. We often get some confusion with how we describe the deployment options for multiple subnets. Rest assured our products definitely support all deployment methods including reverse proxy and the backend servers can be on any routable network. Please don't hesitate to contact support to start a conversation about the available options - including our server-based adaptive feedback agent. Once again thanks very much for your review.
