I use the tool mostly for small and quick load-balancing tasks. Additionally, I integrate it with Docker because the integration is quite fine.

Update for 2025:
We purchased the enterprise version along with Fusion after a few years using the Aloha appliances and have been really impressed by the centralization and monitoring that Fusion provides. We have been leveraging HAPEE as a key component in our companies network now, allowing us to easily direct users to any specific datacenter we need. Support is still awesome. They are very open to receiving input from their customers.
Previous:
I enjoy having an interface without extra frills or anything fancy. It makes it simple to input your config, easy to check the status of your applications, and quick to deploy. When you have questions or need configuration assistance, the Aloha team does an excellent job in helping.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy load balancing and SSL encryption.
Useful for for small and quick load-balancing tasks
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
What I like best about the product is its simplicity and speed. When you need to set up a load balancer quickly, HAProxy offers options like sticky sessions and round-robin. It's also fast to configure, including adding SSL for security. While it may have fewer options than other solutions like F5, HAProxy gets the job done for basic load-balancing tasks.
The reliability features of HAProxy were particularly useful in a scenario where I needed to test load balancing between two Tomcats. Since these domains were inaccessible, I set up a third Docker with HAProxy, which had access to the Tomcat domains. I then configured HAProxy to handle the load balancing. This setup allowed the client to interact with HAProxy.
The solution's integration with other elements is easy.
What needs improvement?
Improving the documentation with multiple examples and scenarios would be beneficial. Most users encounter similar situations, so having a variety of scenarios readily available on the tool's website would be helpful. For instance, if I were part of the HAProxy team, I'd create a webpage with different scenarios and provide files for each scenario. This way, users wouldn't have to start from scratch every time.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I've only deployed a single instance and focused on monitoring it.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't had direct experience with their technical support team. Whenever I encounter issues, I usually turn to Stack Overflow. I've found that other users often have similar problems, and I can usually find solutions there.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The tool is open-source.
What other advice do I have?
I rate the overall product an eight out of ten. It is good and famous.

What do you dislike about the product?
This is more due to the functional richness of the product than any deficiency in the documentation or design, but HAProxy is a very complex product. It takes a while to understand how best to use it. It's so worth the effort, though!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been deploying the Community Edition since 2015. It was originally brought in to replace Apache servers configured as reverse proxies in a DMZ in order to support blue/green deployment. It was the only software load balancer at the time that could do a configuration reload without interrupting existing sessions. Now we use it in numerous roles: It has essential how we manage connectivity both internally and from our clients. We are now working on getting commercial HAPEE licenses both for the commercial-grade support and for access to Fusion.
haproyx-ingress "It Simply Works"
What do you like best about the product?
Haproyx-ingress is among the best documents in the market, which makes it very easy to use and implement it.
Future rich, as you can use it as API-Gateway or Simply Reverse Proxy, it's supports standard Kubernetes ingress, but also support Gateway API..

Helps distribute the server load but has only the basic features
What is our primary use case?
The solution is used for high availability. We use it for the backend to distribute the load.
How has it helped my organization?
We needed a simple proxy system that is open source. HAProxy was the most used tool for any issues that we ran into. We did not want to use something that was not used much so that we could fix the issues that came up.
What is most valuable?
The solution is effective in managing our traffic. The integrations work fine. It's a load balancer. There's no need for complex integration. We hit it, and it balances the load in the servers that we assigned to it.
What needs improvement?
The product has the basic foundations of any load-balancing product. It is simple and basic. The product does not have any new technologies.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for a few years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The tool seems very stable. I have not heard of the infrastructure team having any issues with it.

What other advice do I have?
There are better tools, but the product does the job well. All my colleagues know the tool and have used it. I recommend the product to others. Companies that have complex environments must not choose HAProxy. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
