Rich load balancing features with advanced routing configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We recently encounters and issue where the server directives cached only single ip from the LB. We could make documentation a bit more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Do you mean you were using a DNS domain name for the server address? That's why it was cached?

"HAProxy Stable and Flexible"

5/5

What do you like best about HAProxy?

We migrated from Snapt load balancer (Software based) to HAProxy Enterprise (Software based). This also came with the HAProxy Fusion. HAProxy has been performant and stable across our multiple clients that we service and allows configuration changes that do not impact our clients. This has been a huge step up for our stability and confidence in our solution. Since it is software based, we have been able to incorporate the solution into our disaster recovery solution with ease.

The product is very competitively priced as well as we have received phenominal support. I would recommend this product highly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HAProxy?

There have been some minor features that did not ship with the product. I have submitted these to development and they are actively working on my requests and provide updates when completed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
