    Centralized monitoring has improved efficiency and provides faster responses to application issues

    Reviewed on Jun 24, 2026
    Review from a verified AWS customer

    What is our primary use case?

    My main use case for HAProxy is to load balance my applications and for Layer 4 of the OSI model.

    I use HAProxy on GitLab to make commits on SSGador parts, and I have some Zabbix and Wazuh agents to monitor my applications.

    What is most valuable?

    The best feature HAProxy offers in my experience is its TCP functionality, as I don't use it for HTTPS because I use Traefik for that purpose. I use only the TCP protocol with HAProxy and not the HTTPS protocol.

    HAProxy has positively impacted my organization because all of my applications are now centralized in one point, so I can manage it from my load balancer machine. I'm using a virtual machine on AWS, and it's very useful because I can now determine if one agent on Wazuh or Zabbix is out of range. This allows for better control and quicker responses to issues if the system goes down for an extended period, improving efficiency.

    What needs improvement?

    For the limited use that I have of HAProxy, I don't have any points to improve. I think I need more time with this tool, or perhaps I simply don't have areas that need to get better. I don't have additional thoughts about needed improvements, even if it's something small or just an idea for the future.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been working in my current field for about eight months.

    What was our ROI?

    In terms of specific outcomes, I have seen approximately twenty dollars in cost savings because I was planning to use a load balancer from AWS. HAProxy is really useful and faster because I can see if the system or the agent on Wazuh or Zabbix goes down, which is truly helpful.

    What other advice do I have?

    The output of HAProxy is good, with a lot of information. It's a really good work tool. I don't have much to discuss about the output other than that it provides excellent information, allowing me to centralize all of the components that I have. It's really important because I can manage my applications more efficiently.

    My advice to others looking into using HAProxy is to look at the documentation, which is really good, and to search for some use cases because they may find more benefits and improve their use of the tool better than I have now. I really recommend HAProxy to another IT business partner to use it. It's a really good tool, and if you use it well, you will gain a lot of benefits from it. I gave HAProxy a rating of ten out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Private Cloud

    If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

    Amazon Web Services (AWS)
