Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."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."
"Stability is number one."
"Scalable and inexpensive."
"HAProxy's TCP load balancer is excellent and super stable."
"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."
"I have found HAProxy very helpful in replicating production environment architecture in a development and testing environment."
"It is a crucial tool in ensuring smooth service provision without any interruptions."
"The anti-DDOS PacketShield filtering solution (embedded in the physical appliances) as well as the BGP route injection are great features and heavily used."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."
"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."
"HAProxy could improve by making the dashboards easier to use, and better reports and administration tickets."
"The basic clustering is not usable in our very specific setup. The clustering is mainly a configuration replication and is great in a case of active-passive usage. In the case of an active-active (or with more than two nodes) where the configuration is not fully identical, it cannot be used as-is."
"HAProxy is very weak in the logging and monitoring part and requires improvement."
"The GUI should be more responsive and show the detailed output of logs."
"It needs proper HTTP/2 support."
"There is no standardized document available. So, any individual has to work from scratch to work it out. If some standard deployment details are available, it would be helpful for people while deploying it. There should be more documentation on the standard deployment."
"The reconfigurability in terms of the tooling could be improved and maybe an editor plugin can be added."
"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."
