HAProxy integrates seamlessly into OpenShift as the default ingress controller. The performance under high load is excellent, and the configuration via annotations is straightforward for routing and TLS termination. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Advanced custom configurations in OpenShift require workarounds via ConfigMap patches, which can be tricky. Better native support for fine-grained timeout and header manipulation without leaving the OpenShift abstraction layer would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about HAProxy’s simplicity is how it keeps powerful load balancing and routing features easy to understand and configure, without unnecessary complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike most about HAProxy’s whitespace sensitivity is that small formatting mistakes can easily break the config or cause subtle issues, making it less forgiving than it looks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about HAproxy is the flexibility its configuration offers and the degree of customization and sophistication that can be achieved using ACLs. We have faced different use cases that required very specific and out-of-the-ordinary configurations, and we have always been able to achieve the goal using some of the countless functions it provides. The manual is very comprehensive, and by reading it for a while, you can find the solution to all your needs. As for its robustness, the load it can handle without any issues is incredible. In case of need, the support is very good, fast, and effective. We use it daily and are delighted with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a REALLY fast load balancer with almost limitless functionality. It's very easy to use with Fusion, which is getting more features every now and then, whilst maintaining stability. We also do really like the request explorer integrated in to Fusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has not always been as easy for us to implement it in our environment, but we solved this with great help of the HAProxy team and some custom scripts provided by them. Don't forget to document this, so you remember how everything is implemented and working together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One aspect I dislike about HAProxy is the complexity of its configuration for advanced setups. While it is extremely powerful, managing multiple frontends, backends, and ACL rules can become cumbersome, especially for larger environments. Additionally, debugging misconfigurations requires careful attention to logs and can be time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
