"Performance is outstanding."
What do you like best about HAProxy?

HAProxy stands out for its exceptional performance in dynamic and high-load environments, making. The addition of the Fusion control plane further enhances its capabilities, providing powerful tools for managing and securing large-scale deployments. Whether you need efficient load balancing, comprehensive observability, or advanced security, HAProxy with Fusion offers a robust solution.

Customer service was wonderul to work with. I had two initial questions that were solved easily from support over email. This made implementation quick and easy. Converting our NGINX over to HAProxy was a trivial and the Fusion Control Plan intergrates well and makes changes and versioning easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HAProxy?

For smaller deployments a single node with Fusion deployment would be ideal. We work with a lot of SMB businesses that the price is limiting our options for HAProxy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nick Ramirez of HAProxy

Thank you for sharing your experience migrating from NGINX to HAProxy! And for sharing feedback about smaller deployments.
