Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."
"Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility."
"Application Gateway with application-level firewall tool and load distributor and balancer (also serves for A/B testing)."
"The flexibility of its modules allow it to be scalable."
"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 most valuable feature of the solution is that it is simple to configure."
"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."
"NGINX Plus also has NGINX App Protect. It's a separate module, which is inspired by the F5 apps."
"Valuable features include authentication, caching, reverse proxy routing, and load balancing."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else."
"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."
"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. "
"It would be great if there was even more automation to make it even easier to maintain."
"The user interface could be improved."
"I would suggest adding GUI-based configuration panels to NGINX Plus to simplify setup and management tasks."
"If NGINX brings some features for health check in the open source version, it would be better. "
"They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing."
"I would like it to have a more user-friendly graphical interface."
