We performed a comparison between Microsoft .NET Framework and NGINX Plus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."When it comes to the user interface, the context is better than other tools because it is easier to use."
"The most valuable features are the Domain Controller and the WBFS Manager."
"The most valuable thing about Microsoft .NET Framework is that it is an enterprise-grade language and platform."
"It is a stable solution."
"The tool offers a lot of support, and there is a lot of knowledge material available, along with a lot of community groups."
"Firstly, I appreciate the decision to use Microsoft .NET Framework. I find it to be an excellent language, with a history rooted in providing an alternative to Java, albeit with initial challenges. It is gaining popularity and may be voted the most desirable programming language. What I particularly like about .NET is its language efficiency. While C# is the primary language, the platform also supports others, catering to those inclined towards functional programming. Although I started with Shell, I'm still grasping the concept of functional programming. Despite initial reservations about object-oriented programming, I acknowledge its advantages. .NET is a safer option, and despite criticisms, it has evolved over the years. One notable aspect is .NET's transition to an open platform in recent years, distancing itself from being exclusive to Microsoft engineers. I appreciate the versatility of .NET, enabling code production for a wide range of platforms, presenting a strong competition to Java. It allows targeting practically any physical platform, showcasing its flexibility. These qualities contribute to my positive view of .NET, totaling thirteen aspects that I find appealing."
"The solution's technical support is very good...The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"User-friendly and straightforward."
"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."
"When you use NGINX, you have more options and power."
"It performs very well. That's one of the primary reasons we use NGINX."
"It's lightweight software that can handle heavy loads efficiently."
"This solution has everything."
"The product is lightweight and fast."
"Its versatility and capabilities make it invaluable for implementing patches and fixes when necessary."
"The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites."
".NET Is still heavy or dependant on other Microsoft libraries and frameworks."
"In the realm of Microsoft .NET Framework, particularly in the C# language, there have been significant developments that I find highly commendable. I am genuinely fascinated by the continuous evolution of the language, and staying abreast of the latest features in Azure is both challenging and enjoyable. Working with C# in Azure is particularly fantastic. I appreciate in .NET, as compared to Java, is the enforcement of types, providing a better experience in terms of technicalities. Additionally, the introduction of Roslyn in the past few years has brought about the concept of late .NET, which I find interesting and powerful. This allows for the transformation of symbolic code just before execution, eliminating the runtime decision-making process and enhancing efficiency. However, late .NET does come with a drawback – a delay in the last-minute computation when starting an executable. While some may find this less appealing in terms of instant responsiveness, especially in serverless cloud environments, the efficiency gained from executing strictly binary code is valuable. Despite potential drawbacks like the time required for activation, I view .NET favorably for its technical advancements and efficiency, especially in scenarios such as serverless cloud computing. It's essential to recognize the intricacies of how .NET processes code and the efficiency it brings, which some may overlook."
"The integration could improve in Microsoft .NET Framework."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"This solution should include Power BI so that we don't have to use any third-party tools."
"Microsoft could improve .NET Framework by providing more resources to help users understand the solution."
"Microsoft has its own product called Blazor, but I don't think it's quite as powerful yet as React or Angular. That's an area for improvement."
"Difficult to scale this product for large organizations."
"The scaling should be built into the software rather than configured from an outside source."
"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 drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything."
"Our most challenging part was to run an older PHP website reverse-proxied through NGINX. That was not fun."
"The solution's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"The solution must improve its performance."
"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."
