HAProxy Reviews

With an OpenShift environment, HAProxy gives us an easy way to handle a lot of containers.

The ability to handle a sequence of front- and back-ends gives the user the opportunity to send traffic through different services.

HAProxy needs to improve its ability to handle a lot of connections, to be more like NGINX.

No issues with stability.

I haven't had any issues with scalability but, as I mentioned above, some reviewers have said that NGINX is able to handle more connections than HAProxy.

It was straightforward. I created an Ansible playbook to install HAProxy. It is simple to install and the configuration files are easy to understand.

I have always used an open-source version.

Before using it, you need to understand your environment's sizing and check if HAProxy is able to handle the quantity of connections.

We are using it for application load balancing.

The feature that I have found the most valuable is that it works for my use case of application load balancing. I'm using it for PeerSense, and it's easy enough for PeerSense.

Pricing, monitoring, and reports can be improved. 

I have just started using HAProxy. In my organization, they've been using it for a year or two.

It was a little bit straightforward.

HAProxy is free in the initial offer. However, pricing can be improved.

I would recommend HAProxy because it is free in the initial offer, which would work for low budget enterprises that don't have much to start with. 

I would rate HAProxy a seven out of ten.
