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."The most valuable features for us are web frameworks like MVC, Web API, and WCS."
"The .NET Framework is a very good framework. It does what I need it to do."
"The solution's technical support is very good...The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The most valuable features are the Domain Controller and the WBFS Manager."
"Ease of use, the richness of the libraries and basically very good development tools."
"The technology is very scalable and accessible to use."
"Initial setup is straightforward. All the components are readily available."
"In-built refactoring and .Net profilers are the most valuable features of the solution."
"Application Gateway with application-level firewall tool and load distributor and balancer (also serves for A/B testing)."
"-"
"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."
"Nginx is extremely efficient in terms of the connection rate to the CPU cycles ratio, and in terms of the bandwidth to CPU cycles."
"I need to highlight that the number one thing about NGINX is that it is free."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"The product is resilient."
".NET Is still heavy or dependant on other Microsoft libraries and frameworks."
"If AI could be incorporated in Microsoft .NET Framework it would be helpful."
"The product's price is an area of concern, making it an area where improvements are required."
"I would like to see more pre-built features in the MVC framework because as it is now, it's very open and you have to develop your own controls in order to use it."
"One thing that could be improved is the tooling and IDE for .NET in non-Windows environments like Mac."
"In the next release, I am looking for more advanced technologies such as socket communication and enhanced features like realtime chat with the clients."
"Microsoft could improve .NET Framework by providing more resources to help users understand the solution."
"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 solution must improve its performance."
"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."
"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."
"The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy."
"I would suggest adding GUI-based configuration panels to NGINX Plus to simplify setup and management tasks."
"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."
"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. "
