HAProxy Reviews

We use the open source version in our dev environments, and the commercial product for production and pre-production. Our primary use case is for reverse proxy, especially for switches in the different environments. I am a system engineer. 

The solution is user-friendly, works quickly and efficiently. 

I'd like to see better documentation and preferably a French version as well. The product is used a lot here and that would be helpful.

I've been using this solution for a year. 

In my previous job we had some stability issues related to configuration and compatibility with other products. It was unstable because of cookie problems. 

We have good scalability. 

The initial setup takes a few minutes. We use Terraform to deploy and it's very fast. We have five users in the company. 

I had a look at Nginx for the reverse proxy part but I preferred the typology of the writing of HAProxy.

It's important to define your use case clearly so you can be sure the product corresponds to your needs.

I rate the solution seven out of 10. 

I use HAProxy for individuals who can not buy low balancers. I built NFV in a box and send individuals a pathway into an HAProxy VM.

I would like to see better search handling, and a user interface, with a complete functional graphical unit.

I have been using HAProxy for the past four to five months.

I do not have it in a full production environment to have those statistics. What I am currently using is stable.

I do not see enough traffic to make an honest critique of the stability.

I have not currently used technical support.

HAProxy potentially has a good return on investment.

The setup was not difficult it usually takes a day to complete for a VPC.
When it comes to pricing HAProxy is free.

I did look at NGINX.

I would rate HAProxy an eight out of ten.

Our company used the solution as a proxy for Tanzu during an initial installation for conducting performance tests. 

It is easy to learn proxy operations. 

The solution has bad performance issues. 

I used the solution for six months. 

The stability is good and passed all tests. 

I did not need technical support. 

The solution is easy to install and configure in terms of the load balancer. Other tools might take eight days to install, but the solution only takes three or four days.

We installed the solution in-house using available documentation. 

Maintenance can be completed by one network administrator. Sometimes it is not easy to diagnose issues. 

The solution is open source so is free. 

We did not evaluate other options before the solution. We were not happy with the solution's performance so we switched to Load Balancing Analytics. 

We use it in a model teacher, project, and financial trading system.

Overall, it's a good solution.

We don't have a problem with the user interface. It's good.

We've changed solutions as it doesn't fit with our current needs. 

We have used the solution for a while, however, we are currently moving away from it.

We are currently moving away from it. We changed our orchestrator solution and we move to something else and now use an internal proxy.

We are end-users and customers. We don't have a business relationship with the solution.

I would rate the solution at a seven out of ten.
