Overview

This free version of LoadMaster provides 20Mbps of throughput making it suitable for lab, prototyping and proof-of-concept use cases. It is not recommended for use in production environments as it is not upgradable and is community supported.

The LoadMaster license is free, but you will still have to pay AWS infrastructure costs.

If you need a fully supported, high-performance load balancer you should consider our other LoadMaster offerings in the marketplace.

Easy load balancing for any size organization

Reviewed on Nov 14, 2024

Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?

Kemp LoadMaster is not overly complex or over engineered unlike some products I have used in the past. Setting up an HA pair was effortless. Kemp support is proactive in their mailings to patch any security vulnerability that is discovered and disclosed.
Internally we love the Lets Encrypt and Kubernetes ingress controller functionality.

What do you dislike about the product?

It's hard to come up with much of a list about negatives, but with the UI being as simple as it is, it does become a challenege to navigate and administrate when you have a large amount of Virtual IP's or Virtual Services in use and page is constantly reloading.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were originally looking for a cost effective load balancer and reverse proxy for our organization. The features added over time have only been a value add.
