We performed a comparison between Loadbalancer.org and NGINX Plus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It helps us to route the traffic to the available servers. If we didn't have Loadbalancer we would fail to set the end-user and it would cause a failure in the cluster."
"For now, it's stable."
"We have about 30,000 connections going through at any one time and it's fine, it doesn't seem to sweat. It doesn't get overloaded."
"The performance is good."
"Most important for us that it makes sure that the load is distributed and that we always have access to the end servers."
"The SSL Layer 7 load balancing is valuable."
"Loadbalancer.org is less complex than Citrix."
"I found scalability in Loadbalancer.org valuable."
"Zero Downtime has always been a strength in recommending infrastructure web services. NGINX allows me to execute such infrastructure with less complications and the ability to switch from server to server easily."
"The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites."
"Supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"Nginx is simple to configure, very stable in a highly utilized environment and very modular, allowing DevOps to create it's own modules for interactive use with Nginx."
"NGINX Plus' most valuable feature is the ingress controller."
"The web proxy and the database proxy are excellent."
"NGINX Plus also has NGINX App Protect. It's a separate module, which is inspired by the F5 apps."
"I'd like to see scalability improved; it can be costly."
"The solution can be a bit pricey."
"Compared to the physical products, the solution's throughput is a little less."
"It would be great if there was a way to gain access to the graphing data, to create custom reports. If we had a way to use the graphing data, we could use it to present certain information to our client, such as the uptime status for their service."
"I would like a notification when a new version of the software is available. They told me to sign up for their newsletter, but I have not received any notification for a newer software version."
"The configuration is somewhat complicated. Someone who does not know the solution may find this challenging."
"Loadbalancer.org's complexity could be reduced."
"Originally we had some stability issues with it, so they replaced it with a new box and it's fine."
"Make modules easier to enable or disable. The beauty and ugly side of the NGINX modules is you have to know how to compile the module. For beginners or non-very technical aspirant(s) going for NGINX, they have to learn how to compile the modules."
"I would like it to have a more user-friendly graphical interface."
"NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5."
"The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."
"It would be great if there was even more automation to make it even easier to maintain."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users."
"I would like to see the Grafana integration in NGINX which is already present in HAProxy. Grafana integration will help the solution visualize all the data analytics on the dashboard which is currently not present."
