"Tech support is super-quick to respond, and always on target with answers specific to the current issue."
"Software defined load balancing allows us to dynamically adjust and codify routing decisions. This speeds up development."
"HAProxy's TCP load balancer is excellent and super stable."
"Performance configuration options with threads, processes, and core stickiness are very valuable."
"The solution is effective in managing our traffic."
"The anti-DDOS PacketShield filtering solution (embedded in the physical appliances) as well as the BGP route injection are great features and heavily used."

"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."
"There is room for improvement in HAProxy's dynamic configuration."
"Documentation could be improved."
"HAProxy is very weak in the logging and monitoring part and requires improvement."
