"Reliable Performance with Minimal Latency"
What do you like best about HAProxy?

We see some latency while using HAPrxy, but so far it is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HAProxy?

Only latency is the issue we are facing while using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nick Ramirez of HAProxy

We've seen latency associated with OpenSSL 3.0. I wonder if that might be the cause?

"Flexible, Powerful, and Extensible Solution for Customer Management"
What do you like best about HAProxy?

It's an incredibly flexible and powerful way to manage your incoming customer traffic.

It's also elegantly extensible, allowing us to easily build in our own custom product logic and rules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HAProxy?

Nothing of any major note. It has a small bit of learning curve to get used to the syntax, but they have improved that over the years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's good to know that HAProxy has worked well for you!

"When a tool works. It just works!!!"
What do you like best about HAProxy?

My company has used HA since I started 6 years ago and all I can say when a tool is rock solid and it works it just works. We have 3 total proxys loadbalanced between our stage and production systems and it handles the load traffic perfectly. The support in the slack channel is a highlight especially if your trying to find a solution for a rule or a way to rewrite a rule to optimize it. Overall, I highly recommend HAProxy for anyone looking for a robust and efficient load balancing solution. It can also add WAF support if you don't want deal with a dedicated WAF provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HAProxy?

The dislike are small but can bite you from time to time for newcomers that use apache or nginx the language curve could be alot to over come but HA does have a good wiki to find out rules. Besides that I don't have any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nick Ramirez of HAProxy

Thanks for reviewing HAProxy! The configuration language does have a learning curve, but it's good to hear that it hasn't stopped you from being successful.

"Performance is outstanding."
What do you like best about HAProxy?

HAProxy stands out for its exceptional performance in dynamic and high-load environments, making. The addition of the Fusion control plane further enhances its capabilities, providing powerful tools for managing and securing large-scale deployments. Whether you need efficient load balancing, comprehensive observability, or advanced security, HAProxy with Fusion offers a robust solution.

Customer service was wonderul to work with. I had two initial questions that were solved easily from support over email. This made implementation quick and easy. Converting our NGINX over to HAProxy was a trivial and the Fusion Control Plan intergrates well and makes changes and versioning easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HAProxy?

For smaller deployments a single node with Fusion deployment would be ideal. We work with a lot of SMB businesses that the price is limiting our options for HAProxy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Nick Ramirez of HAProxy

Thank you for sharing your experience migrating from NGINX to HAProxy! And for sharing feedback about smaller deployments.
