Review on HAProxy by Carta Gutierrez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Has lots useful options if your requirements fit its capabilities

I like that it's easy to set up, it has many features, and it is very configurable. It does not support all protocols, but you can set it up to work with any protocol you want. You have to use a different client for each protocol. The UI could be improved. Sometimes it takes a long time to update the status of a connection after an error. The configuration files are also very large, so it is difficult to find what is causing problems. In general, it works well. We need a solution to control our network traffic. HAProxy does that.

Pros
  • Easy integration in complex networks
  • Ease maintenance by system administrators (centralized logs)
Cons
  • Complexity when used as load balancer; this makes its installation more complicated.
  • Slow response under heavy loads
