Load testing has improved confidence as traffic simulations ensure uninterrupted user access
There are many types of load balancers, such as NGINX, which is a proxy, and those need to be validated with different types of testing. The number of availability and redundancy need to be checked, the health checks of the software need to be validated, and as a load balancer, I need to check how much traffic it is able to handle at a given point in time. LoadBalancer Enterprise is very useful in the case of a multifaceted software system. For example, when I do not know exactly how many users are going to be using it at a given point in time, LoadBalancer Enterprise ensures that it distributes the load properly so that the system is not broken and it is available for all users seamlessly. When I say it distributes the load properly, LoadBalancer Enterprise provides several affinity mechanisms such as cookie, resource, IP, and header-based options. For stateful healthcare workflows and banking transactions where session context matters, these options are flexible and reliable. In stateful failover edge cases, I need to make sure it is working properly, and those are the things I need to validate. LoadBalancer Enterprise simulates production traffic profiles by using a realistic traffic generator that models different requests and transaction mixes such as reads and writes, leveraging replay traffic from sanitized production traces whenever possible. LoadBalancer Enterprise allows me to simulate chaos and failure injection by integrating chaos testing to validate retry and back-off behavior, connection drain, and upstream slowdown scenarios. I can validate that rate limits and circuit breakers are functioning properly. LoadBalancer Enterprise has given my company the confidence that our software is sustainable and scalable according to our design. I can approach customers with confidence that they will not be facing any issues such as unavailability of services or any interruptions during their work. This confidence gives my company an edge over competitors.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the server load balancing. Something that sets this solution apart from other products is that the hardware has a much higher capacity than other vendors. That's the edge of Array Networks. Their technical support services are also very good."
"Anyone considering Array APV should not hesitate to use the Array Network because it's very light and easy to deploy and the user interface is very easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature is the application delivery control, which includes server load balancing and global server load balancing."
"They've been rock solid; they're stable, we definitely use them within their capabilities, and they are very good on that."
"It actually makes our whole network more reliable, because of its load balancing capabilities and redundancy."
"LoadBalancer Enterprise has impacted my organization positively by making our applications and services available to all users across the globe."
"Loadbalancer.org is less complex than Citrix."
"The technical support at Loadbalancer.org is possibly one of the best that I have had to deal with and it is 24/7, too."
"I found scalability in Loadbalancer.org valuable."
"Now, we achieve about 99% availability across all servers thanks to the health check feature in the load balancer."
"From a customer point of view, they have what I would call an unbreakable service."
 

Cons

"Technical support should be better."
"I would like to see more granular reporting and monitoring features, and I believe our clients want to see them as well. Also, SD-WAN would be a good addition."
"It doesn't have the bonding capability feature."
"There is room for improvement in Loadbalancer.org in certain areas."
"They're mostly designed to balance a particular type of traffic. I wanted to load balance DNS, and they just don't do it the way that we wanted to. So they're not used as DNS load balancers."
"We could enhance the security aspects of the load balancer."
"We have had one or two small crashes on them, nothing major, but I guess that would be the only thing stopping it from being a 10."
"HTTP API would be really helpful, but they do have a command line api which is used over a SSH connection"
"If I have to say something, I suppose they could add an automated configuration backup to an FTP location (or something similar) so you don’t have to manually do it. I don’t see this as a problem, of course, as the configuration rarely changes and we only need one backup, but maybe for other users that feature would be handy."
"Currently, it is not scalable. We have already reached our limit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the price for Array APV is very competitive, and some of our clients are very satisfied when it comes to the price."
"For now, it's stable."
"They're not the cheapest, not the most expensive, but I think value-wise, they're 100%."
"I love that they do not price on some arbitrary throughput rating where you are guessing at what the load balancer is going to handle."
"Licensing fees are paid annually."
"It's worth the cost. It's not cheap, but it's a good solution. If you're looking for a good solution, this is a good solution. Is it cheap? No. Is it worth the money? Yes, I think it is."
"The costs associated with Loadbalancer.org depends on the technology. For some, we need to pay, but others are open, so they're free."
"We've got an unlimited license, which doesn't costs that much compared to other vendors, and we don't have to buy it again."
"The solution requires an annual support license of $2,780 for four systems or $695 a year per unit for support not including the units."
