The multiple levels of control. Due to the lightweight nature the performance and reliability is great. It was used on a project in past time but also in some of my private pocs to showcase functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HAProxy?

Could be a steeper learning curve and can cause problems if configs not fully setup.especially for simpler setups.

Debugging could be a pain but this could be a natural thing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
