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."This solution has everything."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"NGINX works much better than HAProxy in our current hardware and architecture for HTTP/HTTPS load balancing. "
"Application Gateway with application-level firewall tool and load distributor and balancer (also serves for A/B testing)."
"The product is resilient."
"Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility."
"The web proxy and the database proxy are excellent."
"It's lightweight software that can handle heavy loads efficiently."
"Security is one of the most valuable features that I like. It is easy to use and easy to configure."
"A user-friendly and reasonably priced solution."
"The device blocks threats and allows legitimate users to work correctly."
"The best features are the security through the web application firewall, the functionality that the solution offers, being a load balancer with the security functionality on top of it, and the ease of administration."
"The product offers high availability."
"The best part is that we are able to manage it easily. It is easy to manage and easy to integrate with third-party applications."
"I am finding SSL-TLS acceleration the most valuable function, with certificate management. It is easy to generate certificates and assign them to services"
"With Alteon, the load-balancing options are practically unlimited. We haven't had any issues with offloading, decryption, putting in cookies, or any other load-balancing features. We can check URLs, etc., on the back end for load balancing instead of running a TCP check. We're also doing some certificate stuff on there. Alteon covers all of the standard load-balancing techniques, and we employ most of them daily."
"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."
"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."
"They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing."
"The scalability could be improved."
"I would like the configuration process to be more simplified."
"The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything."
"NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5."
"The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy."
"Support is an area that needs improvement."
"The solution could be more open to additional third-party add-ons being integrated into it."
"Support is very important because if we get good support, we'll be able to sell and supply more numbers."
"We don't integrate anything with it because most things don't integrate with Radware. If it were F5, we could integrate it. We can integrate F5 with practically anything that integrates with a load balancer, but that's not the case with Alteon."
"The service could be improved by better customer support."
"We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license."
"The GUI needs to be improved. Right now, the solution isn't so user-friendly."
"It can be improved by combining the web application firewall (WAF) facility."
