"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."

"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."
"The scalability could be improved."
"I would like the configuration process to be more simplified."
"Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users."
"The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."

"Our most challenging part was to run an older PHP website reverse-proxied through NGINX. That was not fun."
"NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5."
