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."Performance configuration options with threads, processes, and core stickiness are very valuable."
"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."
"HAProxy Enterprise Edition has been rock solid. We have essentially had no downtime caused by our load balancers in the last 10 months, because they’ve worked so well. Previously, our load balancers caused us multiple hours per year in downtime."
"I am also able to make configuration changes during the day, in production, with no worries of problems and/or downtime occurring."
"Software defined load balancing allows us to dynamically adjust and codify routing decisions. This speeds up development."
"I have found HAProxy very helpful in replicating production environment architecture in a development and testing environment."
"It is a crucial tool in ensuring smooth service provision without any interruptions."
"The technical support has been, in one word, perfect. Every time I call, I’m on the phone with a representative within five minutes who is highly skilled and willing to help, whether in the case of critical issues or simple advice."
"Provides good performance and scalability."
"The most valuable feature of Radware LinkProof for traffic distribution is its DNS management capability."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The performance and stability are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of Radware LinkProof is that it supports link load balance."
"Maybe HAProxy could be more modular."
"Pricing, monitoring, and reports can be improved."
"Improving the documentation with multiple examples and scenarios would be beneficial. Most users encounter similar situations, so having a variety of scenarios readily available on the tool's website would be helpful. For instance, if I were part of the HAProxy team, I'd create a webpage with different scenarios and provide files for each scenario. This way, users wouldn't have to start from scratch every time."
"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 the pricing model. It could be cheaper."
"The only area that I can see needing improvement is the management interface, since it is pretty much all through the CLI or configuration. A GUI/web interface could be helpful for users who are not as experienced in the Linux shell. However, HAProxy does have another product that we evaluated called ALOHA, which has a web front-end, but we found it did not meet our needs."
"The product does not have any new technologies."
"HAProxy could improve by making the dashboards easier to use, and better reports and administration tickets."
"Radware LinkProof's marketing efforts need improvement to raise awareness about its capabilities and compete effectively in the market."
"The solution lacks HA configuration."
"Radware LinkProof’s customer support could be improved."
"Could have more customizations on the dashboard."
"There are certain features I would like to see in the next release."
