"Simple, Reliable, Extensible"

5/5

What do you like best about HAProxy?

Reliable. I don't think this has ever gone done for us in the years we've been using it. Once you have a decent understanding of the configuration syntax, it's very easy to extend and customize. And, if you have some trouble with the documentation and examples, the support is very good as well. We explained what we were trying to accomplish and even helped with the design and configuration of it. A "surprising" bonus feature for us was the dashboard. A nice built-in feature for quick status checks of the backend services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HAProxy?

The built-in dashboard could have more features. For users with smaller deployments that may not have observability and metrics setup, this might be the only thing they have. Could be modernized and have more details Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

SSL termination and load balancing have been great. We have an interesting setup; we have a third-party DDOS mitigation service that points all of our domains/sub-domains to HaProxy. Behind HaProxy are Kubernetes clusters and VMs. Having a single point for SSL termination and load balancing keeps it manageable for our small team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
