"HAProxy Enterprise Edition has been rock solid. We have essentially had no downtime caused by our load balancers in the last 10 months, because they’ve worked so well. Previously, our load balancers caused us multiple hours per year in downtime."
"The technical support has been, in one word, perfect. Every time I call, I’m on the phone with a representative within five minutes who is highly skilled and willing to help, whether in the case of critical issues or simple advice."
"Performance configuration options with threads, processes, and core stickiness are very valuable."
"I estimate that this product has saved our company hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in possible downtime from previous load balancers. We make a lot of our money from online sales, so it is critical to have 99.9% uptime."
"The solution is effective in managing our traffic."
"It has allowed us to evenly distribute the load across a number of servers, and check their health and automatically react to errors."
"We don't have a problem with the user interface. it's good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability. During the time that I have been using it, it has not undergone a service failure... And with the integrated application protection, we have not suffered from attacks anymore."
"I am finding SSL-TLS acceleration the most valuable function, with certificate management. It is easy to generate certificates and assign them to services"
"The most valuable features of Radware Alteon are the reverse proxy functionality and the SSL offload and hardware."
"The strength of this solution is the application delivery controller."
"The most valuable feature is the load-balancing reverse proxy."
"The features that mitigate attacks are very valuable."
"I found the link load balancer and server load balancer are the most valuable."
"The most valuable aspect is that it establishes user security."
"The GUI should be more responsive and show the detailed output of logs."
"Documentation could be improved."
"If nbproc = 2, you will have two processes of HAProxy running. However, the stats of HAProxy will not be aggregated, meaning you don't really know the collective status in a single point of view."
"There is room for improvement in HAProxy's dynamic configuration."
"There are three main areas to improve: 1) Make remote management more modern by adding API. 2) Propose a general HA solution for HAProxy (no I'm using keepalived for this). 3) Thread option should be a bit more stable."
"The product does not have any new technologies."
"We've changed solutions as it doesn't fit with our current needs."
"HAProxy is very weak in the logging and monitoring part and requires improvement."
"Support is very important because if we get good support, we'll be able to sell and supply more numbers."
"We recently had a problem with the tables Obsolete ARP which was observed by the support team. It would be good to diagnose and solve this problem with a patch since it is not documented that it will be solved in later updates."
"Scalability should be based on customer requirements."
"I would like to see the loading documentation improved."
"A feature that I would like to see included in the next version might be a better analysis when working with crypt issues. Right now, it is very manual; you load it into Alteon and it runs. It would be interesting to see a more dynamic process."
"We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license."
"The user interface can be improved."
"The reverse proxy piece is a little bit complicated. If the reverse proxy were easier to implement, that would help."
