Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."Akamai is easy to use and very effective."
"This solution has everything."
"The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"When I worked in a security research center, we tested NGINX to support DoS and DDoS attacks, and its results were great."
"The web proxy and the database proxy are excellent."
"I need to highlight that the number one thing about NGINX is that it is free."
"The load balancing module, which is equivalent to LTM, is the focus of the PSE. So far, the features of both are identical. I believe NGINX has more features for securing these services, but in terms of load balancing, both are massive solutions."
"I find the solution’s community support and documentation most valuable. Compared to HAProxy, have found a lot of documentation and community support on Quora. If you would be asking me as a developer whether to choose this product, I would recommend this since it has good community support, documentation, and signature updates. The configuration of HAProxy is also very tedious. However, NGINX’s configuration is very simple."
"The product must provide more flexibility."
"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."
"Only improvement needed that I would point to is scalability. With it, I mean clusterized organisation on a low level. At the moment, the best alternative is RHEL HA."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."
"The center management system could be improved."
"Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users."
"The biggest room for improvement would be to allow NGINX Core machines to cluster for memory zones in some way with a plug and play module. "
