Haproxy TCP/HTTP Load Balancer
HAProxy vs SKUDONET
Choosing the right ADC platform is critical. We want you to have the best information possible to do so.
overview
HAProxy
HAProxy is a reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.
SKUDONET
SKUDONET® began its public release in October 2010, and we have not stopped refining security, scalability, and high availability technology ever since.

See how SKUDONET and HAProxy TCP/HTTP Load Balancer compare across some of the most critical ADC capabilities.
HAProxy’s Strengths
SKUDONET’s Strengths
- Disruptive vision with a stable growth as challengers in the ADC market, with an agile team and engaged community.
- Innovation driven with Open Source technology with no vendor lock-in and broad platforms integration (hardware, virtual, bare metal and cloud).
- Very high cost-effective solutions without limitation products and services, suitable for both midsize organizations and large enterprises.
- Investment in R&D to deliver a technology driven by easiness, performance and security.
- Is a complete ADC (Application Delivery Controller) that could manage all kinds of network protocols (UDP, TCP, HTTP/S, SCTP, SIP, T/FTP, …) but also with a combination of all of them simultaneously and multiport capabilities; and it’s not oriented to licensed features.
- Its operating system is fully optimized for networking so it is capable to move in layer 7 more than 140 thousand concurrent users and in layer 4 more than 10 million concurrent users with only 2 dedicated cores.
- Ability to create configuration backups, easy cluster configuration, automatic replication from one node to another and stateful cluster with real time sessions replications that permits a failover between nodes without losing any connection.
- Provides an integrated IPDS security system with real time black hole lists, DoS protection, black/white listing and protection of the most common network attacks.
- Provides a very UX graphic interface for both operators and network engineers in Angular 2 technology.
- Automation capabilities thanks to it’s fully programmable REST+JSON API.
HAProxy’s Weaknesses
SKUDONET’s Weaknesses
- Young brand as an open source company and yet to develop a big influence than other more established vendors.
- Needs to develop a broader partnership network.
