Recommendations to others considering the product:

A trusty tool
What do you like best about the product?
HA Proxy is simple to use and reliable. It does one basic thing, and it does it well. The interface is clean and easy to use, the web monitoring is fine, easy to hook up - and can be used for a variety of services - not just for HTTP/HTTPS only. The best thing about it is the ease of use - one config file, and everything is easy to configure - or automate. Also, there are many plugins for automation tools, so you can plug it into ansible, puppet, or whatever you use.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is very little to dislike about it - maybe it's the speed of adopting new things, but that's about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've used it to solve not only reverse proxy/load balancing of HTTP servers but also various other services - database, search.... a lot. It solved issues regarding both availability and load balancing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As far as generic proxy solutions go, this is probably the best in the F/OSS space. It's very stable, robust, and supports a lot. There are specialized tools that can be better for specialized cases, but for a generic HA proxy (as the name implies) this is a very good solution. Also, when there is no specialized tool - this one will work in almost any case.

I am using HAProxy to solve the issues like adding Weight in Backend on the basis of GEO Location, Session Sticky Ness, CORS Implementation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very Good tool who are looking to solve their loan balancing issues.
HAProxy was here in the beginning and will be here in the end.
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.
