A versatile TCP proxy

  • December 31, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
HA-Proxy is a TCP proxy that you can use to load balance any kind of TCP connection. While most will use it for load balancing HTTP/S connections, I am using it also for RabbitMQ and PostgreSQL connections like a charm.
What do you dislike about the product?
When you need to write conditionals for routing (web) traffic the configuration you need to write is a bit cumbersome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using it to load balance between web servers. I am also using it to achieve high availability between PostgreSQL servers (for read-only operations) and for accessing remote RabbitMQ servers from specifically whitelisted hosts.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a TCP proxy, HA-Proxy is the most likely choice when you want to "graduate" from nginx. I am using the open source version.

Produit solide, soutenu par une équipe de développement solide, renforcé par un support de niveau entreprise.

Qu'aimez-vous le plus à propos de the product?
Développeurs - Les développeurs qui ont créé et maintiennent le logiciel central HAProxy sont un groupe de personnes très compétentes et dévouées. Ils sont également très réactifs lorsqu'il s'agit de communiquer avec les utilisateurs sur les listes de diffusion publiques, etc. Dans l'ensemble, c'est un groupe de personnes très passionnées.

Communauté - HAProxy a également une très grande communauté de suiveurs, et il y a toujours quelqu'un de disponible (liste de diffusion, slack, IRC, StackExchange, etc.) qui est capable d'aider avec n'importe quel problème ou question générale ou spécifique que vous pourriez avoir.

Entreprise - Et, comme si les équipes de développement et la grande communauté utile ne suffisaient pas, l'offre HAPEE (HAProxy Enterprise Edition) inclut une multitude de modules supplémentaires qui prennent un produit déjà incroyable et le poussent à 11. De plus, elle est soutenue par une équipe de personnes phénoménales. Toutes les personnes avec qui j'ai travaillé, des Ventes et du Marketing à l'Ingénierie et au Support, ont été extrêmement aimables, très rapides à répondre, et toujours prêtes à se plier en quatre pour nous aider en tant que clients.
Que n’aimez-vous pas à propos de the product?
Pour être tout à fait honnête, je n'ai rien à dire ici. Tous les problèmes que j'ai eus dans le passé ont été rapidement résolus.
Quels sont les problèmes que the product résout, et en quoi cela vous est-il bénéfique?
Nous utilisons HAProxy comme répartiteur de charge pour une grande variété de trafic, à la fois interne et orienté client. Il fait bien plus pour nous que simplement "répartir la charge". Avec la journalisation hautement personnalisable, nous sommes capables d'être très en phase avec tout le trafic qui le traverse. Avec la riche fonctionnalité de manipulation des requêtes, nous pouvons facilement résoudre de nombreux problèmes qui seraient beaucoup plus difficiles à aborder à d'autres niveaux de notre pile. Avec les ACL et les tables de stickiness, nous sommes capables de contrôler le trafic de manière qui serait autrement extrêmement compliquée et incohérente.

Et le meilleur, c'est que même si nous sommes sans doute des utilisateurs avancés, nous avons à peine effleuré la surface des myriades de possibilités qu'HAProxy apporte.
Recommandations à d’autres personnes envisageant the product:
La documentation peut être intimidante au début, mais parcourez les sections qui sont le plus étroitement liées aux problèmes que vous essayez de résoudre. Consultez l'IRC/Slack de la communauté et posez toutes les questions au fur et à mesure que vous commencez. Si vous cherchez des exemples de la façon dont d'autres ont mis en œuvre quelque chose de similaire à ce que vous essayez de faire, cherchez sur Google -- il y a beaucoup de ressources disponibles.

HAPEE est très raisonnablement tarifé. Ne laissez pas le prix élevé d'autres acteurs dans cet espace vous empêcher de contacter l'équipe de Haproxy Enterprises. Ils seront plus qu'heureux de travailler avec vous, de déterminer vos besoins et de vous connecter avec les ressources appropriées.

Journey from F5s to Community Edition and finally Enterprise Edition

  • December 15, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

Qu'aimez-vous le plus à propos de the product?
The performance and manageability. You can use conventional configuration files and you can manage with an API. Community edition easily serves internal needs and is easy to install and configure. When considering production we need a cost efficient product that came with support. HAProxy Enterprise Edition (HAPEE) fits that bill. Our expensive hardware Load Balancers could do the job but at astronomical prices. HAPEE comes with a lot of modules out of the box for some advanced use cases. Creating a highly available pair of LBs or integrating in SAML to your auth flow.
Que n’aimez-vous pas à propos de the product?
I don't have much to dislike. For some the loss of a GUI will be upsetting but that's not a problem on my team. As of today there are no historical stats kept by the software. You can see realtime stats all day but it's on the user to pipe them into software to keep historical data.
Quels sont les problèmes que the product résout, et en quoi cela vous est-il bénéfique?
Load balancing many applications. We get the same if not better end results at a fraction of the cost when compared to hardware load balancers.
Recommandations à d’autres personnes envisageant the product:
Reach out and get in touch with someone at HAProxy. The team members are great and willing to work with you to get a valuable Proof-of-Conecpt underway.

HAProxy was here in the beginning and will be here in the end.

  • December 15, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
HAProxy is fast. It doesn't aspire to do more than that. It's a fast TCP proxy with Layer 4 and Layer 7 functionality that makes it useful in a range of environments where you want functionality without bloat. Focus without compromise.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because it's specialized, it's entirely possible to overlook what it's good at. Other solutions offer a toolbox of features, but by doing so, are they excellent at any one of them? My experience with HAProxy has always been that I could rely on it to do what it needed to do, where I needed it done, and I knew that once deployed, it would work tirelessly. I've never had HAProxy fail in the 10+ years I've been using it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use HAProxy in front of Kubernetes clusters, either to load balance traffic to the ingress controller running on multiple nodes, or to load balance the Kubernetes API for HA clusters. I also punch TCP ports through it, do SSL termination on it, and use it for elaborate URL and header rewrites for applications that have been wedged into multiple containers but weren't designed to be carved up like that. Having a load balancer present in my environment makes it easy to use it as the frontend for all sorts of applications, giving them stable, friendly DNS names and running them as HTTPS apps instead of bizarre HTTP apps on port 3000 or 8080 or other random ports.

The piece of software that really works for what you are looking forward and really easy to learn.

  • December 10, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The simple way to install and configure. The minimum resources it requires and the availability to distribute the application per paths from different VMs/appliances. Also the easy way to set up HA.
The simplicity that you set your rules is really intuitive and the documentation is really clear.
Having also the possibility to change the configuration on-the-fly using an API is also a MUST.
Also the support is something that is always available and sometimes even go further the scope to provide an excellent experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much I would point I would dislike. More likely would point some extra features would be a plus to have.
For example, would a GUI for configuration would be a plus. Although not mandatory for me, as I do prefer to work with config files, sometimes for some co-workers it would help to have it done easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using some caching servers as Varnish, whom do not provide SSL termination, HaProxy was a natural option and the entry way for that.
As long as the application increased complexity and we would need to have HA from different services replicas, it has become more used. Furthermore, balancing between datasets was also a plus.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are other options on the market, but I would prefer stability, and and excellent support rather that try outs.
HAProxy has proven over the times it's ready to handle any kind of workload and you can load between TCP or HTTP, in any port or service.
Their added modules are a plus, like bot protection, WAF and HA builtin features.
