Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."I am also able to make configuration changes during the day, in production, with no worries of problems and/or downtime occurring."
"The ability to handle a sequence of front- and back-ends gives the user the opportunity to send traffic through different services."
"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."
"We did not need technical support because the documentation is good."
"Advanced traffic rules, including stick tables and ACLs, which allow me to shape traffic while it's load balanced."
"It improves our scalability and responsiveness services to meet our demanding customer requirements."
"Load balancing is valuable, and we are also using the WAF feature."
"Reliability. HAProxy is the most reliable product I have ever used."
"The valuable feature is that, after reading about its capabilities and using it for a while, Peplink SpeedFusion employs eight technologies within its SD-WAN profile, addressing issues like packet loss and latency. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support team gives quick response and efficient local support."
"It is a very stable product."
"Our customers find it to be an interesting and tempting solution."
"The SpeedFusion feature is the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the virtual VPN concentrator."
"The SpeedFusion feature is good. It allowed us to move away from IPsec between the sites. It is also a really easy product to deploy."
"In the Philippines, VPN usage may not be widely known, but we leverage VPN effectively within my organization. I've shared our in-house systems with other district offices, as I cover fifteen municipalities and cater to the entire province. This platform is a valuable tool for us, enabling collaborative work, and allowing us to update our services remotely."
"Pricing, monitoring, and reports can be improved."
"While troubleshooting, we are having some difficulties. There are no issues when it is running; it is stable and very good; however, if there is a troubleshooting issue or an incident occurs, we will have issues because this is open-source."
"The visibility could be improved."
"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 do with some good combination integrations."
"We would like to see dynamic ACL and port update support. Our infrastructure relies on randomly allocated ports and this feature would allow us to update without restarting the process."
"There is room for improvement in HAProxy's dynamic configuration."
"It needs proper HTTP/2 support."
"There is room for improvement in enhancing security features, such as incorporating intrusion detection blocking capabilities and integrating artificial intelligence to bolster security aspects on the device."
"Their hardware support isn't the greatest. We've had one unit go down, and it took a while for them to replace it. It was in the Caribbeans, so it might be a location-related issue."
"Its pricing is the main issue. The pricing could be improved. I would like to see an outbound policy based on the application. It is a very good feature, and most of the customers are looking for that. They can also include stronger firewall features. This would help the customers in choosing this product as the only device for the SD network."
"The product needs to aggregate the bandwidth of different ISPs. It needs to improve scalability as well."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"I believe there could be some enhancements in the enterprise segment, offering greater options or something similar."
"They don't have next generation firewall, UTM, like the other competitors."
