We are running dual server farm for end user computing and financial application. We were using 2x LoadBalancer as most of our users connect to windows servers from linux platform. Initially we started using this for Windows Terminal Servers and then we tweaked it bit further added other services available locally. Since it works on TCP services we were able to add multiple services in single platform. The comparing product was 10 times more expensive and providing very similar features. We found loadbalancer quite effective in terms of both cost and functionality.
Based on Linux platform, it is robust and secure. And provide unlimited customization levels. You can actually request something to suit your organizational needs. You can run multiple services not limited to operating system e.g. you can run to loadbalance Windows Server Farm and Web applications simultaneously. you can introduce new servers in existing setup and take out old without any downtime
Web UI to configure is bit complex , However the support is excellent and provide service promptly. Agent less there is not much information you can what going on target services

We were able to replace our previous LBs and add speed/features for a nominal price.
The ease of use and implementation are huge pluses with this software. It provides everything that 90% of companies would use and does it very well. The price allowed us to get 2 pairs of LBs instead of just the 1 pair we were looking at from the competition.
The interface is a bit clunky and the reporting/monitoring is less than robust. Some of the graphs are a little difficult to decipher as to the roll up of data and what it is reporting.

Cost effective - we had a small number servers that needed to be load balanced. Great support. Purchased the virtual machine model which made setup very easy.
We had one minor issue shortly after implementing that was resolved with a software update. I would like the software upgrade process to be more wizard point and click oriented.
Thanks for your feedback. We're aware of some historical issues and we have redesigned the whole update process in v9 to separate security from functionality . This is to make the whole process simpler in order to help customers get ever closer to zero downtime...

Overall Experiance = Very Good
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
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

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...
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.
well, nothing much really - we forget that its actually there, the only problem is the boss thinks you are not working hard enough...

The load balancers allowed us to set up a DAG and have redundancy where we needed it. This brand was a great value for the money. Every time I called support, they were extremely helpful and very competent. I would definitely use this software again, and I would recommend them to anyone.
It works. I was using the software as an email load balancer. Support staff helped get this configured and working as designed. I did not need to be an expert.
The software is complicated, but that is the nature of the software.

Does everything it says on the Tin, simply easy to use. Great support and documentation on the site. Great Value for money.. Emailed support a few times and always got a thorough and great explanation to fix the issue.
SNMP functions are a bit lacking, but then again, Loadbalancer.org had an article that explained why

For a nominal price, we were able to put a set of load balancers in front of our web servers and provide a level of reliability that we did not have before.
This was the easiest to configure set of load-balancers that I have used. It took us less than an hour to have 2 virtual LB's in an HA cluster.
The interface is basic and could really use some more reporting options.
Thank you for your review, I spoke with our development team and they're working on improving the reporting options available.

Stable software
Support is great. Also they will work with you on models renewals. Just because they have a newer model you dont have to buy it
There is less knowledge based articles. Renewal price is bit expensive, for something you already have.

Excellent loadbalancing functionality.
I've used loadbalancer.org products both in the hardware appliance and software offerings and I am consistently pleased with the quality offering. Excellent featureset and a lot easier to set up than some other offerings.
Nothing really, I am happy with the solution. Cost perhaps could be better for software only solutions but all in all it's still very competitive.
