"Scalable and inexpensive."
"The most valuable feature of HAProxy is that its open source."
"I can simplify configurations of many internal services (e.g. Web server configs) by moving some elements (like SSL) to HAProxy. I can also disable additional applications, like Varnish, by moving traffic shaping configurations to HAProxy."
"The solution is user-friendly and efficient."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."
"The GUI should be more responsive and show the detailed output of logs."
"The configuration should be more friendly, perhaps with a Web interface. For example, I work with the ClusterControl product for Severalnines, and we have a Web interface to deploy the HAProxy load-balancer."
"The reconfigurability in terms of the tooling could be improved and maybe an editor plugin can be added."
"We've changed solutions as it doesn't fit with our current needs."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model. It could be cheaper."
"The basic clustering is not usable in our very specific setup. The clustering is mainly a configuration replication and is great in a case of active-passive usage. In the case of an active-active (or with more than two nodes) where the configuration is not fully identical, it cannot be used as-is."
"HAProxy could improve by making the dashboards easier to use, and better reports and administration tickets."
"HAProxy is very weak in the logging and monitoring part and requires improvement."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else."
