Thanks for the feedback. I've provided a few replies below but I think you have made some great points and I will share them internally.

> - the site does not do a good job of describing the products and what they do.

The page does lead off by telling you it is a software load balancer, but I agree, we can do a better job of giving more information on the product itself. Most people who pursue HAProxy Enterprise are already familiar with HAProxy. With that said, we're actually working on a complete overhaul to this page and I believe the new version will address this.

> - it is hard to find requirements from the first page.

This is just a reference point and typically organizations are working closely with a sales engineer.

> - is there a simpler HA setup than the 3 layer one here:

A simpler version is found under active/standby here [1]

Thank you. Just for info, my personal experience working for a very big American company is that every time I call a product company for information, I get intensely called back months in a row even if the product does not meet our needs, so I prefer not to do that anymore and to dig myself for info until I figure if that is looking very promising. Maybe it is not the same in your case, but who acts assuming it's an exception?
