We performed a comparison between HAProxy and Radware LinkProof based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 VRRP redundancy is also a mission-critical feature that works seamlessly. I can bring down a server live with minimal downtime because of this."
"Reliability. HAProxy is the most reliable product I have ever used."
"The anti-DDOS PacketShield filtering solution (embedded in the physical appliances) as well as the BGP route injection are great features and heavily used."
"I can simplify configurations of many internal services (e.g. Web server configs) by moving some elements (like SSL) to HAProxy. I can also disable additional applications, like Varnish, by moving traffic shaping configurations to HAProxy."
"Tech support is super-quick to respond, and always on target with answers specific to the current issue."
"We were able to use HAProxy for round robin with our databases, or for a centralized TCP connection in one host."
"We did not need technical support because the documentation is good."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Provides good performance and scalability."
"The most valuable feature of Radware LinkProof is that it supports link load balance."
"The performance and stability are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of Radware LinkProof for traffic distribution is its DNS management capability."
"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."
"We need to handle new connections by dropping, or queuing them while the HAProxy restarts, and because HAProxy does not handle split config files."
"We've changed solutions as it doesn't fit with our current needs."
"Documentation could be improved."
"HAProxy is very weak in the logging and monitoring part and requires improvement."
"Dynamic update API. More things should be possible to be configured during runtime."
"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."
"HAProxy could improve by making the dashboards easier to use, and better reports and administration tickets."
"Radware LinkProof’s customer support could be improved."
"Radware LinkProof's marketing efforts need improvement to raise awareness about its capabilities and compete effectively in the market."
"Could have more customizations on the dashboard."
"The solution lacks HA configuration."
"There are certain features I would like to see in the next release."
