Reseñas y detalles del producto de HAProxy

We've been using HAProxy for around a decade, initially starting with the Community Edition and gradually expanding its footprint. We used industry-standard SLBs from major vendors, but the exorbitant price tags and outrageous support costs were becoming unsustainable. Two years ago, we leaped HAProxy Enterprise Edition (HAPEE) with the Fusion Control Plane (FCP), and it's been a game-changer.

Here's what we love:

Performance: HAPEE's performance is impressive. Even without leveraging hardware acceleration (which they support through Xeon Platinum chips), it easily handles our traffic load.

Stability: Since migrating, we've experienced rock-solid stability. HAPEE has proven to be a reliable workhorse.

Full configurability: HAPEE offers complete control and customization, allowing us to tailor it precisely to our needs.

Fusion Control Plane (FCP): The FCP has revolutionized our workflow, enabling full transactional changes across our clusters. This was a huge pain point with our previous solutions.

Unbeatable Support: This is arguably HAPEE's strongest point. The support team is phenomenal. They're available through Slack, providing near-instantaneous responses and practical solutions. We've dealt with companies charging 10x or 30x more for support that pales in comparison. HAProxy's support team sets a new standard.

Cost-Effectiveness: The pricing for HAPEE is significantly lower than any other comparable solution on the market. It's a breath of fresh air after years of being squeezed by our previous vendors.

Community Edition: We also utilize the HAProxy Community Edition for simpler micro-deployments, and it also excels in that role.

We've moved to HAProxy EE, and the cost/performance/support are so good we are not looking back. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Honestly, there's not much to dislike, but the Fusion Control Plane (FCP) has some growing pains. While it does many things exceptionally well, it's still under active development, and occasional kinks need to be ironed out, or some things you would expect haven't been implemented yet.

Mi empresa ha utilizado HA desde que comencé hace 6 años y todo lo que puedo decir es que cuando una herramienta es sólida y funciona, simplemente funciona. Tenemos 3 proxys en total equilibrados entre nuestros sistemas de etapa y producción y maneja el tráfico de carga perfectamente. El soporte en el canal de Slack es un punto destacado, especialmente si estás tratando de encontrar una solución para una regla o una forma de reescribir una regla para optimizarla. En general, recomiendo altamente HAProxy para cualquiera que busque una solución de balanceo de carga robusta y eficiente. También puede agregar soporte WAF si no quieres lidiar con un proveedor de WAF dedicado. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

El desagrado es pequeño, pero puede morderte de vez en cuando para los recién llegados que usan Apache o Nginx, la curva del lenguaje podría ser mucho que superar, pero HA tiene un buen wiki para encontrar reglas. Aparte de eso, no tengo ningún problema. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

HAProxy stands out for its exceptional performance in dynamic and high-load environments, making. The addition of the Fusion control plane further enhances its capabilities, providing powerful tools for managing and securing large-scale deployments. Whether you need efficient load balancing, comprehensive observability, or advanced security, HAProxy with Fusion offers a robust solution.

Customer service was wonderul to work with. I had two initial questions that were solved easily from support over email. This made implementation quick and easy. Converting our NGINX over to HAProxy was a trivial and the Fusion Control Plan intergrates well and makes changes and versioning easy. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

For smaller deployments a single node with Fusion deployment would be ideal. We work with a lot of SMB businesses that the price is limiting our options for HAProxy. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

I've known about HAProxy for years and always heard good things about it. We've been users of the CE version for years now and it is software that makes sense, does what it advertises and its fast, not bloated.

We certainly like the dataplane API and the flexibility it offers. Some people might dislike having to configure something via the command line (at least in the CE version) but as someone that has done this for decades, this is a plus to us. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

I would love for an automatic way to save transient data in the CE version, but I understand there being none. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

We were looking into alternatives to using the Nginx Ingress Controller for one of our products. Their team was super responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. Their technical team was able to resolve all the concerns and questions we had. We ended up not going with the product as we are a lean startup trying to preserve our runway, but we have it in our backpocket if we ever switch. Highly recommend HAProxy to anyone needing their type of service. Their Fusion product has a lot of cool features that can be appealing if needed. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

No negatives we discovered in our POC. Maybe that we would have to run our own infrastructure. Some startups like to lean towards a fully managed service and be more hands-off. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

HAProxy is straight-forward to configure. The addition of load balancers to the cluster is very fast and easy. Fusion control plane provides a UI for those that prefer it, and can be used to modify the load balancer on the fly. HAPEE also allows for gitops configuration management as a way for us to keep track of changes and maintain a source of truth. The HAProxy team was friendly and helpful, and worked with us to get started on our Proof of Concept quickly. Eric at HAProxy was very knowledgeable and has been very responsive with our questions.

Currently, we're not able to get tcp logging to write back to the fusion control plane. We can still review the logs on the local load balancer nodes, and all the tcp connections work perfectly, but it would be nice to have the logs show in the fusion control plane.

Después de una década de usar HAProxy en varios entornos, puedo decir con confianza que es uno de los balanceadores de carga más confiables y potentes disponibles. A lo largo de los años, ha proporcionado consistentemente alto rendimiento, flexibilidad y resiliencia, incluso a medida que nuestra infraestructura escalaba y evolucionaba.

Tuvimos problemas en escenarios de escalado automático, pero solucionables con algo de scripting. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

La versión HAPEE combina un equilibrador de carga productivo con un excelente software WAF integrado y mod_security, así como protección contra ataques DOS, protección contra bots, un módulo para Google reCAPTCHA. Fue el sistema de seguridad integrado lo que primero atrajo nuestra atención a la versión en ANDROID. Con la ayuda del equipo de soporte técnico, creamos un archivo de configuración del sistema aceptable y cubrimos la mayoría de nuestras necesidades de seguridad.

Los datos transmitidos utilizando el módulo send-metrics a Prometheus por defecto no son tan informativos para la administración del sistema, lo cual pretendemos cubrir utilizando Fusion en un futuro cercano. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
