Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."
"I think installation only took a couple of minutes — no more than 10 minutes."
"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' most valuable feature is the ingress controller."
"When I worked in a security research center, we tested NGINX to support DoS and DDoS attacks, and its results were great."
"Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility."
"The flexibility of its modules allow it to be scalable."
"The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites."
"Its versatility and capabilities make it invaluable for implementing patches and fixes when necessary."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else."
"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."
"I would like it to have a more user-friendly graphical interface."
"They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing."
"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."
"I would suggest adding GUI-based configuration panels to NGINX Plus to simplify setup and management tasks."
"The solution must improve its performance."
"The user interface could be improved."
