"Universal proxy with a wide variety of applications"
What do you like best about HAProxy?

HAproxy is a mature product that does its job and does it well. It suppports primarily TCP that makes it work with different TCP services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HAProxy?

To build an HA proxy setup without it being a single point of failure you need to rely on VRRP that is not available in cloud environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nick Ramirez of HAProxy

There are a couple of ways to set up a highly available HAProxy load balancer. One is VRRP (Keepalived). Another is to put it behind a cloud load balancer. HAProxy is really great at HTTP load balancing, so people will put it behind a simple cloud TCP load balancer and let HAProxy do the HTTP-level routing, logging, rejecting, etc.
