"Simple but effective learning"
What do you like best about HAProxy?

HAProxy has a very nice graphic charter and excellent documentation (we find the information we are looking for)

The technical support is attentive and very fast.

The handling of the solutions is simple Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HAProxy?

There is very little.

The only hitch is on the HAProxy Aloha, I find that the interface is old and has never evolved too much. With a large configuration (Layer 7) it can be difficult to find your way around, whereas it is possible to separate the configuration with HAProxy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
