"KubeCon review"

4.5/5

What do you like best about HAProxy?

Integrated mgt, RBAC, customer self service readonly, Kubernetes integration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HAProxy?

Being an open source haproxy user I can't see any downside to converting to the H proxy commercial software things that will save me time and help our customers.

I did talk to Frank Mancini about commented comments in open source haproxy.config not being included or handled. I'm OK with what it would take to convert it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
