We performed a comparison between HAProxy and Radware LinkProof based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I like best about the product is its simplicity and speed. When you need to set up a load balancer quickly, HAProxy offers options like sticky sessions and round-robin. It's also fast to configure, including adding SSL for security. While it may have fewer options than other solutions like F5, HAProxy gets the job done for basic load-balancing tasks."
"It reduced the load on our main load balancers."
"The most important features would be the load-balancing of HTTP and TCP requests, according to multiple LB-algorithms (busyness, weighted-busyness, round robin, traffic, etc). Another important feature that we cannot live without is the username/passwd authentication for legacy systems that had none."
"Load balancing is valuable, and we are also using the WAF feature."
"HAProxy's TCP load balancer is excellent and super stable."
"The VRRP redundancy is also a mission-critical feature that works seamlessly. I can bring down a server live with minimal downtime because of this."
"It solves a problem for me where I can build files, not based on the health of the check, but rather the speed of the check."
"Tech support is super-quick to respond, and always on target with answers specific to the current issue."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Radware LinkProof for traffic distribution is its DNS management capability."
"The performance and stability are the most valuable features."
"Provides good performance and scalability."
"The most valuable feature of Radware LinkProof is that it supports link load balance."
"The solution can be improved by controlling TCP behavior better and mandating to clients what the expected outcome must be in order to avoid receiving contestant timeout logs."
"We need to handle new connections by dropping, or queuing them while the HAProxy restarts, and because HAProxy does not handle split config files."
"HAProxy could improve by making the dashboards easier to use, and better reports and administration tickets."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in HAProxy's dynamic configuration."
"Sometimes it's challenging to get through the log, and you need a log to understand what is going on. It isn't easy to map the logging with the documentation, and every time I read the log, I have to pull out the documentation to understand what I'm reading."
"The logging functionality could use improvement, as it is a little cryptic."
"HAProxy could do with some good combination integrations."
"Radware LinkProof's marketing efforts need improvement to raise awareness about its capabilities and compete effectively in the market."
"There are certain features I would like to see in the next release."
"Radware LinkProof’s customer support could be improved."
"The solution lacks HA configuration."
"Could have more customizations on the dashboard."
