Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."What I like best about the product is its simplicity and speed. When you need to set up a load balancer quickly, HAProxy offers options like sticky sessions and round-robin. It's also fast to configure, including adding SSL for security. While it may have fewer options than other solutions like F5, HAProxy gets the job done for basic load-balancing tasks."
"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."
"Load balancing is valuable, and we are also using the WAF feature."
"HAProxy's TCP load balancer is excellent and super stable."
"HAProxy potentially has a good return on investment"
"It is a crucial tool in ensuring smooth service provision without any interruptions."
"Software defined load balancing allows us to dynamically adjust and codify routing decisions. This speeds up development."
"The solution is user-friendly and efficient."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."
"HAProxy could improve by making the dashboards easier to use, and better reports and administration tickets."
"HAProxy is very weak in the logging and monitoring part and requires improvement."
"Pricing, monitoring, and reports can be improved."
"We've changed solutions as it doesn't fit with our current needs."
"They should introduce one feature that I know many people, including me, are waiting for: HAProxy should have provide hot-swipe for back-end servers. Also, they need a more detailed GUI for monitoring and configuration."
"I would like to evaluate load-balancing algorithms other than round robin and SSL offloading. Also, it would be helpful if I could logically divide the HAProxy load-balancing into multiple entities so that I would install one HA Proxy LB application which could be used for different Web servers for different applications. I am not sure if these features are available."
"The solution can be improved by controlling TCP behavior better and mandating to clients what the expected outcome must be in order to avoid receiving contestant timeout logs."
"While troubleshooting, we are having some difficulties. There are no issues when it is running; it is stable and very good; however, if there is a troubleshooting issue or an incident occurs, we will have issues because this is open-source."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else."
