Spring marks a season of growth, and HAProxy was in full bloom in the Spring 2023 G2 reports. Our users continue to share their positive experiences on G2 and show how new users can use HAProxy to simplify, scale, and secure their application delivery infrastructure.
We were thrilled to discover where HAProxy Technologies landed in the new season of G2 reports, cementing our position as a leader in “Load Balancing” and “Web Application Firewall.”
We attained more badges than last season, and it’s all thanks to our customers.
The Reports Are Out
HAProxy Technologies received top honors in several categories for “Load Balancing” and “Web Application Firewall,” both “Overall” and “Mid-Market.” For “Web Application Firewall,” we were also recognized as a solution most likely to be recommended by users.
Our top recognitions are the following:
Category | Segment | Report | Badge |
Load Balancing | Overall | Momentum | Leader |
Load Balancing | Overall | Grid | Leader |
Load Balancing | Mid-Market | Grid | Leader |
Web App Firewall | Overall | Momentum | Leader |
Web App Firewall | Overall | Grid | Leader |
Web App Firewall | Overall | Results Index | Users Most Likely to Recommend |
Our G2 Badges don’t stop there. We received “Highest User Adoption” for “Web Application Firewall” and “DDoS Protection” and were recognized as a “High Performer” in several categories.
Being named a leader by G2, among other recognitions, shows that in a field packed with tough competition our products and support stand out to provide a market-leading experience that satisfies the needs of our enterprise customers and our passionate open-source community.
We love to let our customers speak for us and share their experiences. We hope their words inspire new users to try HAProxy for their application delivery.
User Reviews: More, More, More
We’ve garnered over 100 reviews on G2. HAProxy users are praising our products’ performance, security, and reliability.
Performance
HAProxy is the world’s fastest and most widely used software load balancer. Our high-performing load balancer comes with many benefits, from cost-effectiveness to high availability. And our users know this. It’s the reason they keep coming back to HAProxy.
Love for HAProxy performance was demonstrated by our long-standing users at Kubernetes Community Days France 2023, some having used our products for more than ten years. The community loved what we had to offer and was delighted to see how far our product portfolio has come—and this shows in our G2 reviews.
The growing adoption of HAProxy in enterprise and the community is the result of our work to meet users’ needs. Our products are constantly adapting, supporting the next generation of protocols (see our recent release of HAProxy Enterprise 2.7 and ALOHA 15 for support in serving applications using HTTP/3 over QUIC), and adding features that allow HAProxy to keep pace with the changing landscape of application delivery. It’s why customers continue to choose HAProxy year after year. None of it would have been possible without the collaboration we’ve had with our users.
Security
One of our mandates at HAProxy Technologies is to ensure our customers’ infrastructure and applications are secure. With HAProxy acting as a reverse proxy, it often means fighting off threats at the frontline. Defending against DDoS attacks and protecting systems against bots are just some of the security solutions we offer our users to ensure their systems are always running.
The versatility of HAProxy, and its ability to serve multiple functions in a network, from a load balancer to a security gateway, cannot be understated. HAProxy users are constantly finding new ways to implement our products. Even our power users who are able to take advantage of our traffic policing features, such as ACLs and stick tables, are still enthused to tap into HAProxy’s full potential. For a great example, see SoundCloud’s HAProxyConf 2022 presentation on how they used HAProxy’s Real-Time Cluster-Wide Tracking for better DDoS protection using stick tables.
It’s no surprise, then, to see why our web application firewall received “Users Most Likely to Recommend” from G2 and why we were named a leader in the same category. For many, the next-generation HAProxy Enterprise WAF (powered by our Intelligent WAF Engine) is a main line of defense against threats like SQL injection and cross-site scripting, stopping cyber attacks before they reach web applications and APIs.
If you’d like to learn more about our security solutions, join us at RSA Conference 2023 from April 24–27. You can find us at booth #5178, and we’d be delighted to discuss our security offerings.
