I use the solution in my company for TCP streams. I have not used the product for web servers like Apache and NGINX. I have used the product for SMTP and SMPP protocols. I also used the tool for email services and POP3 servers. HAProxy handles the area where traffic has to be forwarded from one port to another very well.

Reliable load balancer packed with features
What do you like best about the product?
Haproxy positions itself as a load balancer instead of mingling with both load balancing and webserving and this is one of its core strengths as it is just really good at load balancing without all the noise and complications of other webservers.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few features where haproxy lags a little behind some of the newer proxies like caddy.

Haproxy is a corner stone in handling customer traffic from the edge and getting it efficiently to our backend servers in the data centres.

Great Product
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of config, blasting performance, reliability
What do you dislike about the product?
A bit more of dynamic config possibility would be nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Load balancing and HA is mission critical for some of our services, since we need to feed 24/7 streams to our consumers. HAproxy is perfect for that.
Offers good integration capabilities but needs to improve the monitoring part
What is our primary use case?
What needs improvement?
HAProxy is very weak in the logging and monitoring part and requires improvement.
In the future, the tool should have additional modules for different purposes.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have experience with HAProxy.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
HAProxy's TCP load balancer is excellent and super stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I have not had the opportunity to use this scalability feature of the product, but I know that it depends on the machine or the hardware on which the tool is loaded. I would say that it is a scalable product since it is a software-based solution.
I can speak about the services being used on the product since there is no user interaction required with HAProxy. I can say that my company uses more than 50 services on HAProxy.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I use DNS Made Easy.
How was the initial setup?
If a Linux user who is fairly good with Linux products takes care of HAProxy's installation part, it can be done easily.
It is possible to deploy the product within one to three hours with a fair amount of knowledge.
The product's deployment process is straightforward, as it can be easily managed with the help of HAProxy's document, which is available on its website. Users should be familiar with some Linux commands.
The solution is deployed on the cloud and on-premises models.
HAProxy is similar to engine NGINX, especially if you have a small company since you need only one or two people to take care of the deployment process. If you have a big enterprise, five to ten people are required to take care of the deployment phase.
What was our ROI?
HAProxy is preferable when the company wants a load balancer to manage the traffic and doesn't want to spend on a high-end load balancer. The product helps save costs for the company.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I use the open-source version of the product. I don't have experience with the licensed version of the solution.
What other advice do I have?
I have used load balancing on the TCP layer. I have not used the product for areas like HTTP and HTTPS. I have not used the product for web or API applications. I have only used the product for the TCP part.
HAProxy improved our company's applications' availability. I had a use case in my company where we had to connect to one of my voice servers from a back-end proxy for which I had used HAProxy. HAProxy helped me when I had to distribute the traffic between all the voice servers from a single application in my company.
HAProxy's most valuable feature for network traffic management stems from the functionalities attached to the area revolving around TCP load balancers since it has helped me achieve excellent results.
To those who plan to use the product, I would say that they need to consider including the HTTP proxy part product, similar to the offerings made by NGINX. The product's potential users can introduce a lot of modules, which can help HAProxy when compared with NGINX.
I did not face any challenges with the integration capabilities of the product. My organizational objectives were achievable with HAProxy.
Considering the tool's TCP part, I rate the overall tool a seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud
HAProxy Stable and Flexible
What do you like best about the product?
We migrated from Snapt load balancer (Software based) to HAProxy Enterprise (Software based). This also came with the HAProxy Fusion. HAProxy has been performant and stable across our multiple clients that we service and allows configuration changes that do not impact our clients. This has been a huge step up for our stability and confidence in our solution. Since it is software based, we have been able to incorporate the solution into our disaster recovery solution with ease.
The product is very competitively priced as well as we have received phenominal support. I would recommend this product highly.

What do you dislike about the product?
There have been some minor features that did not ship with the product. I have submitted these to development and they are actively working on my requests and provide updates when completed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
HAProxy for us has provided us with great flexibility of configuration. We are able to make changes without impacting our clients. As well as a graphical interface (Fusion) to interact with. This has made the configuration more user friendly for the team.
A great product with AMAZING support
What do you like best about the product?
Aside from the ease of implementation, it's also easy to use. The support team was FANTASTIC and if you have the chance to work with Lamija to set up your agreement do.
What do you dislike about the product?
Genuinely tried to find something negative to say and couldn't at this time. Support is quick to help out, they have the tools to do what they need and if they don't have documentation you want? Just let them know and they get on it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had been using a Kemp Load Balancer that failed and I fell back to my standard of using the community edition HAP load balancer with nary a clue that Enterprise was out there. Once I found it I was BLOWN AWAY! Fusion pane allows us to offload and manager servers, capture data in real time, and actually get GOOD data out of load balanced environment.
