HAProxy Technologies, the company behind the HAProxy One application delivery and security platform, has announced impressive results in the G2 Summer 2026 Grid and Index Reports. The company secured 86 badges across eight categories, including 33 Leader and Momentum Leader badges, solidifying its position as a market leader.
Key Achievements in Load Balancing
HAProxy maintained its number one ranking in the Load Balancing category for the 13th consecutive quarter. It also achieved a perfect satisfaction score of 100 for the fourth quarter in a row, a feat unmatched by any other product in the category. The company's review base in Load Balancing grew to 810 authenticated reviews, and it earned Leader status across Enterprise, Mid-Market, and Small-Business segments, along with Best Relationship recognition.
Expansion into DevOps and AI Infrastructure
HAProxy is now the only traffic management tool included in the DevOps top 100, validated for AI routing by NVIDIA Run:ai. This recognition underscores its role in platform engineering and AI infrastructure. Additionally, HAProxy experienced a 42% growth in Container Networking reviews in a single quarter, achieving the highest satisfaction score in that category as teams migrate from Ingress NGINX.
Momentum Across Multiple Categories
The company earned Momentum Leader badges in five categories simultaneously: Load Balancing, WAF, DDoS Protection, Container Networking, and API Management. This signals accelerating adoption beyond its core market, with engineering teams deploying HAProxy One for multiple use cases including network infrastructure, security, AI, API management, and DevOps workflows.
CEO Comments
“The G2 Summer 2026 reports confirm what we see in every enterprise conversation: engineers choose tools and platforms that perform under pressure and scale without constraints,” said Dujko Radovnikovic, CEO of HAProxy Technologies. “The DevOps recognition this quarter, alongside 13 consecutive quarters at number one in Load Balancing, shows that HAProxy One is being validated in the toughest and most innovative environments.”

In the WAF category, HAProxy's score of 97 leads by 22 points, and in DDoS Protection, its score of 94 tops the Leaders quadrant. These gaps highlight HAProxy's dominance across multiple categories.
