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."Load balancing helps us distribute both incoming and outgoing data loads evenly among the servers, preventing overload on a single server."
"For now, it's stable."
"I found scalability in Loadbalancer.org valuable."
"The features I find valuable in this solution are the ease of managing the logs on the WAFs, the ease to identify break-in attempts into the network, the front-end firewall, and a more specific firewall."
"Existing customers are trying to migrate from the physical F5 load balancer to the AVI load balancer because it is scalable and easily managed."
"The load balancers have an easy installation and a relatively simple, easy user interface to use."
"It does what it’s supposed to do which is balancing an important intranet site we are using, so if one server dies, the second becomes active straight away."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites."
"When I worked in a security research center, we tested NGINX to support DoS and DDoS attacks, and its results were great."
"It performs very well. That's one of the primary reasons we use NGINX."
"I think installation only took a couple of minutes — no more than 10 minutes."
"The web proxy and the database proxy are excellent."
"This solution has everything."
"Its most valuable features are load balancing and application delivery. This is the most efficient application for these features because of stability and its efficiency."
"Nginx is extremely efficient in terms of the connection rate to the CPU cycles ratio, and in terms of the bandwidth to CPU cycles."
"We could enhance the security aspects of the load balancer."
"The configuration is somewhat complicated. Someone who does not know the solution may find this challenging."
"Compared to the physical products, the solution's throughput is a little less."
"Possibly a more graphical overview page (with colors) to give a two second overview to see if everything is working fine."
"Originally we had some stability issues with it, so they replaced it with a new box and it's fine."
"Loadbalancer.org's complexity could be reduced."
"You can run into an issue when one engineer passes the case over to another engineer after their shift and they don't know what the first engineer worked on up to that point."
"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."
"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 scalability could be improved."
"The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy."
"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."
"The solution must improve its performance."
"I would like the configuration process to be more simplified."
"The scaling should be built into the software rather than configured from an outside source."
