I’ve been using HAProxy since version ~1.7, and it remains the only load balancer I can confidently recommend. The flexibility it offers is remarkable - from simple conditions to using Lua scripts, to shape the traffic exactly how you need.
It is easy to integrate and combined with automation software (like Ansible) you can deploy a fully reliable environment, essentially creating a turnkey solution ready for clients.
Project is well maintained with long support periods and upgrades can be performed in-place without disrupting traffic flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some of the tooling around HAProxy - like halog is not well documented. Only HAProxy 3+ support JSON logs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have used it as our main load balancer and inter point for our systems for years and love every feature! Easy to use, easy to debug, easy to deploy. Can't beat it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Among other available software based load balancers, I find HaProxy a very solid software that fills our all load balancing needs. The implementation is very easy and documentation and customer support is excellent. It support API based backend health checks that gives extra comfort when you are running tier 0 services in the backends. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
