"Haproxy review"
What do you like best about HAProxy?

Easy to install and use. Hassle free and easy to include addons Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HAProxy?

None that I'm aware of. It does compete with nginx which might make it unknown to a lot of users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nick Ramirez of HAProxy

And there's no reason people couldn't use NGINX and HAProxy together, since HAProxy's load balancing complements NGINX's web serving.
