currently there was a lot of web services that doesn't have proper names and are exposed directly without any type of WAF or balancing that could help in case of bad scenarios. also we add the SAML authentication integrated with OKTA that add an additional layer of security to access the services
Reliable and Efficient, but Lacks Modern Flexibility
What do you like best about the product?
What I value most in HAProxy is its predictability and low operational overhead. It performs its core task of traffic management with high efficiency and minimal resource consumption, which is a key requirement for our infrastructure. Its text-based configuration, while austere, allows for precise, repeatable deployments and integrates cleanly into our automation and version control workflows. It’s a stable component that does exactly what it's expected to do without introducing unnecessary complexity. In essence, it functions as a reliable utility that doesn't require constant attention.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its strength in text-based configuration is also its primary rigidity. Debugging complex rules or troubleshooting routing issues can become inefficient and opaque, lacking the visualization tools or dynamic management offered by more modern solutions. Furthermore, any functionality beyond core load balancing, such as advanced WAF integration, often requires add-on solutions or enterprise versions, which complicates the architecture.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
HAProxy is critical for solving both traffic overload and security threats. As a load balancer, it ensures high availability and scalability by distributing requests across our servers. It acts as our first line of defense, mitigating DDoS attacks at the edge to keep the service online. Furthermore, its WAF functionality protects us from application-layer exploits like SQL injection. Overall, it provides us with a robust, secure, and resilient infrastructure.
Reliable and phenomenal support
What do you like best about the product?
We have used HAProxy Enterprise Edition for the past 2 years. Over this time it has provided reliable load balancing and has run in the background without the need for intervention. The upgrade procedures have yet to give us any headache. The ACL system is robust for complex routing and Fusion Control Plane makes managing multiple clusters convenient. The support team is very knowledgeable and quick to respond. They have a slack channel that makes getting help pain-free and keeps things moving along.
What do you dislike about the product?
The config syntax takes some getting used to. It's powerful once you learn it, but it's not very intuitive at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cluster management with Fusion Control Plane is extremely beneficial to use. It saves us a lot of time not having to track down or manage individual files on each cluster/host.
HAProxy: Reliable, High-Performance Load Balancing with a Steep Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about HAProxy is its exceptional reliability and outstanding performance. It has been the cornerstone of our infrastructure, effortlessly handling immense traffic loads with remarkably low latency. The configuration is both straightforward and incredibly flexible, allowing us to implement complex traffic routing and load balancing rules with ease. This simplicity, combined with its powerful feature set, saves us a significant amount of time. We have complete confidence in HAProxy's stability; it consistently ensures high availability for our critical applications. The ability to scale our services without compromising speed or reliability is invaluable. It’s a robust, efficient, and well-documented solution that has proven to be indispensable for our operations. Ultimately, it provides peace of mind, which is the highest praise I can give.
What do you dislike about the product?
While its power is undeniable, the learning curve for its more advanced features can be somewhat steep for newcomers. Furthermore, its primary reliance on command-line configuration, while efficient, might present an initial hurdle for teams more accustomed to graphical user interfaces for management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
HAProxy fundamentally solves two critical problems for us: traffic distribution and security enforcement.
Absolutely fantastic
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
To make a complaint, I would like there to be more updated versions in the official repositories of the most used distributions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have no problem with HAproxy.
