Manage complex traffic routing with ease and ensure system availability
The ELB would benefit from allowing deployment in a single availability zone for test servers to avoid unnecessary costs. Additionally, the ability to directly block specific IP addresses without additional service integration would be beneficial. Furthermore, sometimes ALB has a delay in recognizing the need to scale the system based on CloudWatch metrics, which could use improvement.

Inherited deployment tool has required clunky iPad rollouts but has automated remote updates
I do appreciate the best features that Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC) offers. One feature that stands out to me as useful is that it applies some application firewall for security, which I found valuable. Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC) has impacted my organization positively as it is more of a necessity, not just because we do have all of our iPads in Ivanti MDM, but to be able to deploy properly. It certainly does save time and resources compared to doing things manually because 90% of our mobile devices are all remote and in the field, and our endpoint users are technically challenged; therefore, trying to get anyone to update or be able to do anything actually on their iPad outside of using an application would be near impossible.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the Lambda function due to its utility with serverless technology."
"I find it valuable that you can provide rule prioritization and set priorities for path-based routing."
"The feature that I like the most is the scalability. The solutions I build often have many pieces, which are very complicated. If a client comes to me with a design, my developer has made this as a template or a cloud formation script. It's a design on paper, and I want it executed a certain way. I can do that quickly and repeatedly with AWS. That is a considerable advantage because I can take that template and do it five times in different zones. That is an excellent feature based on a template, et cetera."
"The best part about ALB is its ability to connect with different services including EC2, ECS, API Gateway, or Lambda functions, offering a lot of benefits like attaching a WAF."
"The network load balancer is really fast."
"We use the solution for internet-exposed websites and internal load-balancing purposes."
"Availability is one of the main benefits that Amazon Elastic Load Balancing provides to my company."
"The solution offers good load balancing."
"Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC) has impacted my organization positively as it is more of a necessity, not just because we do have all of our iPads in Ivanti MDM, but to be able to deploy properly."
"Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC) is a very good tool that companies should use, as it is very reliable, very fast, and allows you more time to work on other cases because Ivanti handles everything smoothly."
"The strict security features of Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC) stand out for me because essentially, you can have the hashing of all the programs that you can launch, the signature to check, the very deep analysis of the project, and the very deep log that helps you develop and analyze security."
 

Cons

"The product's stability is an area with a slight shortcoming, which can be improved."
"Sometimes the target group takes too much time to configure or to be seen on the internet, especially when configuring through ISV tools."
"The ELB would benefit from allowing deployment in a single availability zone for test servers to avoid unnecessary costs."
"Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is superior for load balancing in terms of both cost and functionality."
"One issue that we faced with ALB was that leaf-level certificate validation was not happening. It is not that user-friendly in that aspect."
"They should improve the solution's pricing."
"We faced some issues with the health check."
"The latency compared to the network load balancer could be improved."
"To improve Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC), I would suggest integrating something to fix the registry of a server, as including any steps that fix the registry or any DLL files causing issues where patches did not install properly would be beneficial."
"Customer support for Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC) has been very lacking, which is one of my biggest issues because we have had not great experiences with their customer support over time."
"I chose eight out of ten for Ivanti Virtual Application Delivery Controller (vADC) because from the point of view of the configuration, it took so much time on the security side to configure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not cheap."
"There is a yearly license."
"The licensing fees are based on the number of connections one uses. It is a free tool for a certain amount of connections, which runs into thousands, and after that, there is a certain amount to be paid to Amazon."
"The solution's pricing is $30 per month."
"The solution is expensive."
"The solution's pricing is low and I rate it a nine out of ten."
"The cost for using the application load balancer is approximately $18 to $21 per month."
"I have no issues with the tool's pricing."
