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."Microsoft Platform is the only viable solution when I wish to do something that is not supposed to be cross-platform."
"Pre-programmed functions for .NET Framework are widely available."
"The Windows Communication Foundation is the biggest advantage we get from the .NET Framework."
"The most valuable thing about Microsoft .NET Framework is that it is an enterprise-grade language and platform."
"In my opinion, the best thing about Microsoft .NET is the fully featured framework. It provides most of the things which a normal developer requires of any application out of the box."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft .NET Framework is debugging."
"In-built refactoring and .Net profilers are the most valuable features of the solution."
"The .NET framework is a mature platform that is very helpful and saves time during the software development process."
"The best solution, by far, for web traffic control for things in production and just around the house."
"The web proxy and the database proxy are excellent."
"I think installation only took a couple of minutes — no more than 10 minutes."
"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."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is simple to configure."
"This solution has everything."
"Application Gateway with application-level firewall tool and load distributor and balancer (also serves for A/B testing)."
"I would want the product to be integrated with the different AI tools in the future since it is one of the areas where the product has certain shortcomings."
"The solution has difficulty integrating with other products. There are no such difficulties if you have the same platform, hardware, and operating system."
".NET Is still heavy or dependant on other Microsoft libraries and frameworks."
"The .NET open source community could be larger."
"Microsoft .NET Framework has a steep learning curve, which could be improved."
"It is of great concern to us that the solution is not very powerful on cross platform, at it impedes the ability to build and scale with it."
"There are performance constraints when multiple users are accessing the application and that consumes CPU resources."
"Lacking in auto-scaling."
"The solution must improve its performance."
"It would be great if there was even more automation to make it even easier to maintain."
"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"Make modules easier to enable or disable. The beauty and ugly side of the NGINX modules is you have to know how to compile the module. For beginners or non-very technical aspirant(s) going for NGINX, they have to learn how to compile the modules."
"The scaling should be built into the software rather than configured from an outside source."
"NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5."
"The solution's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
