"Essential Part of our Technology Stack"

5/5

What do you like best about HAProxy?

Some of the things we like:

- Blazing fast!

- Easy to configure once you understand how

- Functionally rich (understatement!)

- Easy to deploy, manage, and upgrade

- Security you can take to the bank!

- Excellent support!

- Fusion is amazing - alone worth the license cost Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HAProxy?

This is more due to the functional richness of the product than any deficiency in the documentation or design, but HAProxy is a very complex product. It takes a while to understand how best to use it. It's so worth the effort, though! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HAProxy solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been deploying the Community Edition since 2015. It was originally brought in to replace Apache servers configured as reverse proxies in a DMZ in order to support blue/green deployment. It was the only software load balancer at the time that could do a configuration reload without interrupting existing sessions. Now we use it in numerous roles: It has essential how we manage connectivity both internally and from our clients. We are now working on getting commercial HAPEE licenses both for the commercial-grade support and for access to Fusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Haproxy"

4/5

Great to have a load balancer in front that is more intelligent than the basic ones we can find out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HAProxy?

It's a bit hard to know all the configurations, but it's still worthwhile to look them up at least once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It sounds like the learning curve has posed an issue? Are there ways we could make this better?

"Forwarding."

5/5

What do you like best about HAProxy?

As we are using Microservices so it helped us in easily doing the port forwarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HAProxy?

Nothing to dislike as it helped us to resolve our big problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is HAProxy solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have several instances which was in private subnet and lots of services where running on it like mongo,MySQL,tomcat etc.And these services are not directly available for the clients so we configured Haproxy on public subnet instance through which we easily able to forward the traffic from public subnet server to private subnet server.
