Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the AWS EC2 instance running LoadMaster, with no upfront commitment. The 24 dimensions map to three EC2 instance families: c5 (compute-focused), m5 (general-purpose balance of compute and memory), and r5 (memory-focused). Within each family, sizes run from large up to 24xlarge. Larger sizes add more CPU and memory, so the hourly rate rises with instance size. You pick the family that fits your workload, then the size that matches your capacity needs. Billing comes as a single hourly charge and includes support.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly charge includes L4/7 load balancing for all TCP/UDP, SSL offload and re-encryption, high availability, content-based routing, caching, compression, and a Kubernetes ingress controller. Billing is a single hourly charge from AWS and includes 24x7 support with no upfront commitment.
Charges accrue per running instance-hour, so a stopped instance stops the software charge. You pay only for the hours the instance runs, with no commitment on consumption. Note that underlying AWS storage or reserved resources may still bill separately even while the instance is off.
Capacity ties to the EC2 instance size you launch, not an automatic tier jump. To add CPU or memory, you deploy a larger instance within the c5, m5, or r5 family. The hourly rate reflects that chosen size and changes only when you switch instances.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Easy, Affordable Load Balancing—with ACME Room to Improve
Reviewed on Nov 05, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Progress Kemp LoadMaster is easy to use, has a simple interface, and is relatively affordable. I value its load balancing and SSL offload. The initial setup and move were extremely easy, and I had no difficulties.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the ACME certificate management pretty bad. It needs API-based verification because it currently requires a public-facing interface, which makes it difficult to use for internal-only applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Progress Kemp LoadMaster for passive failover.

Intuitive Load Balancing with Exceptional Support
Reviewed on Nov 05, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Progress Kemp LoadMaster is super intuitive and just works. Setting up a load-balanced VIP takes literally two minutes, and I hardly ever need application-vendor documentation or support. When I do need support, they're extremely helpful and immediately start a remote session. It's probably the best support I've ever seen from an enterprise technology. I recently set up a new balancer, and it was really simple too. It distributes traffic across servers and keeps users able to access the resource if a server goes down, which solves that problem perfectly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Progress Kemp LoadMaster to distribute traffic across multiple servers, so users can still access the resource if one server goes down.

Cost-Effective Alternative to F5 That Gets the Job Done
Reviewed on Nov 05, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
According to my coworkers who manage most of it (I only manage the WAF), it is cheaper than F5 and does most of the same thing.
What do you dislike about the product?
The GUI has to be my least favorite point. Also, lack of RBAC segmentation, when it comes to virtual services, you get nothing or everything for permissions.

Fast, Reliable Load Balancing with Automatic Failover
Reviewed on Nov 05, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I use Progress Kemp LoadMaster to spread user connections across our ERP servers. It’s super fast; our performance testing didn’t notice any impact between connecting directly to a server and going through the LoadMaster. I like that it detects faults and automatically directs users to a working server, which saves us a few out-of-hours calls and keeps operations running. It also lets us remove faulty servers or servers requiring maintenance from production, while spreading users evenly across our server estate for the best application performance. Our initial on-premise HA setup was fairly simple to configure, and the ERP-specific setup guide made it easier. We chose it because it met all our requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t have any features that didn’t work. We have two Progress Kemp LoadMaster appliances with separate management interfaces, and a single interface would be useful. When we moved to AWS, configuring the more advanced features correctly took a little more time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Progress Kemp LoadMaster to spread our ERP user connections evenly and remove faulty or maintenance servers from production. It detects faults and sends users to working servers automatically, keeping the operation running, saving us a few out-of-hours calls, and maintaining application performance without noticeable connection impact.
