Key strengths of HAProxy:

4. Rich health-checking and failover capabilities.
5. Robust security features (rate limiting, DDoS mitigation, TLS termination).
6. Strong real-time observability and metrics.
7. Active community and long-term proven track record. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Main dislikes, briefly:
1. Config can be complex.
2. Weaker dynamic discovery vs Envoy.
3. Debugging configs can be slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Thank you for writing this review. For discovery, much of it's built into HAProxy Fusion as an enterprise offering. Complex configurations are something we hear the most often. We're hoping that writing more tutorials will help.
