Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."HAProxy potentially has a good return on investment"
"Performance configuration options with threads, processes, and core stickiness are very valuable."
"HAProxy's TCP load balancer is excellent and super stable."
"I can't speak to all of the HAProxy features because we don't use them all, but load balancing is very good."
"It is a crucial tool in ensuring smooth service provision without any interruptions."
"We were able to use HAProxy for round robin with our databases, or for a centralized TCP connection in one host."
"I am also able to make configuration changes during the day, in production, with no worries of problems and/or downtime occurring."
"The ease of use of the configuration, and great documentation, are the most valuable features for us."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."
"If nbproc = 2, you will have two processes of HAProxy running. However, the stats of HAProxy will not be aggregated, meaning you don't really know the collective status in a single point of view."
"The web stats UI, which provides the status of the health and numbers, could greatly benefit from having a RESTful interface to control the load-balanced nodes. Although there is a hack around the UI (by issuing a POST request to HAProxy with parameters), a RESTful interface would greatly improve the automation process (through Chef and Ansible)."
"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."
"There are three main areas to improve: 1) Make remote management more modern by adding API. 2) Propose a general HA solution for HAProxy (no I'm using keepalived for this). 3) Thread option should be a bit more stable."
"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."
"HAProxy could improve by making the dashboards easier to use, and better reports and administration tickets."
"There is no standardized document available. So, any individual has to work from scratch to work it out. If some standard deployment details are available, it would be helpful for people while deploying it. There should be more documentation on the standard deployment."
"I would like to see better search handling, and a user interface, with a complete functional graphical unit"
"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."
