Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Its versatility and capabilities make it invaluable for implementing patches and fixes when necessary.""The web proxy and the database proxy are excellent.""Nginx is extremely efficient in terms of the connection rate to the CPU cycles ratio, and in terms of the bandwidth to CPU cycles.""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.""The robust software architecture allows for it to be scalable and very stable.""Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility.""Nginx is simple to configure, very stable in a highly utilized environment and very modular, allowing DevOps to create it's own modules for interactive use with Nginx.""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."

"WebLogic Suite is scalable.""Scalability on the solution is great. It's very very easy to scale.""The transaction handling of WebLogic and the way it is designed is excellent.""The product is reliable.""WebLogic adds a lot of value to business and investments.""What I've been seeing as the most valuable characteristics of WebLogic Suite include robustness and scalability. It's a really good solution, and I'm not saying this because my company is a partner of WebLogic Suite. I also like that with the newer versions of the solution, you can deploy WebLogic Suite faster. Oracle also provides excellent technical support.""The program is scalable.""Robust solution; console and enterprise management tools are really easy to work."

Cons
"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. ​""The scaling should be built into the software rather than configured from an outside source.""The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy.""I would like to see the Grafana integration in NGINX which is already present in HAProxy. Grafana integration will help the solution visualize all the data analytics on the dashboard which is currently not present.""The user interface could be improved.""Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing.""I would like the configuration process to be more simplified.""It would be great if there was even more automation to make it even easier to maintain."

"Lacking a solution for smaller applications.""I would like to see the licensing policy simplified.""This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications.""Support could be better. The expertise when we have some Oracle WebLogic issues and challenges is not there. The issues are not being addressed in time. This really needs to be improved going forward.""I think the support could be much better.""I noticed a few areas for improvement in WebLogic Suite. If you use the pure play higher-availability features, then yes, it can be switched over to the other system from the high-availability point of view, but that comes with a certain price. If you prefer simpler high-availability, that requires manual intervention. I'd also recommend a tuning feature in WebLogic Suite because it's not self-tuning, and this means you need thorough expertise to do the tuning and leverage the best benefit out of it. If Oracle makes WebLogic Suite automated or self-driven, then it becomes a wonderful product, similar to what Oracle did for the Autonomous Database which is self-driven or has an autonomous operating system. If automation is added in the next release of the solution, combined with more affordable pricing, though as a technical person, I know how much goes into having automation as a feature, and it could be difficult to lower the price, but if Oracle can do it, then that would make WebLogic Suite better.""This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters.""The licensing for the solution is pretty expensive. It may be the most expensive solution, if you were to compare it to the competition."
