Wonderful software - amazing support
This product is fantastic and takes Loadbalancing far beyond the ELBs from Amazon. Those are great for simple workloads, but if you need to balance a more complex environment (including UDP!) this is the way to go.

Incredibly Easy to Setup and Manage
The product is incredible and each new version in AWS is easier to manage than the previous version. We manage a RDS Terminal Server farm with almost 5000 users as of today. Originally we started out with just load balancing the RDS Gateway Servers, however after more experience with the true technical limitations in Microsoft’s design of RDS 2012 R2 we have since begun using the appliance to balance connections to the RDS Brokers as well.
Quality product with quality support
"I spent over two hours on the phone to Ben in the UK deploying and configuring the loadbalancer. He talked me step-by-step through the process. His support was excellent.
When submitting a ticket via support loadbalancer org I got prompt responses and questions that showed the engineers have a very good understanding of their product.
Overall, I received the level of support I strive to provide to my customers."
Works well, but no support for CloudFront automation
Good product if you plan on configuring the LB manually. If you plan to automate deployments using CloudFormation to create scalable services, you better off using a different appliance or create your own.
Flexible solution in fix IP wise
We needed a fix IP Loadbalancer more than 2 years ago. Since we use it we haven't got problems with this product.
Pros:
-It's a Linux host, it is easy to configure for custom purposes of the different components
-In the version that we use, it was easy to setup HTTPS load balancing
-Because we can login to the terminal, we can use it for CSV file delivery and monitoring and alert email sending
I'm glad we have this type of instance, we can access to the console and we can use it as a Linux host.
Once again - a home run for LoadBalancer support!
We had to transition from the original LoadBalancer product to the latest LoadBalancer for AWS. As with any upgrade/migration, there were a few issues, that required support. As I have said in previous reviews - these folks GET IT! The support team is professional, responsive and solved our problems. The appliance itself seems bulletproof and has been handling 100% of our web traffic flawlessly for a couple of weeks now.
Great to work with, great to use and maintain. Kudos!
