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."
"The product is resilient."
"Supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy."
"NGINX Plus also has NGINX App Protect. It's a separate module, which is inspired by the F5 apps."
"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."
"NGINX works much better than HAProxy in our current hardware and architecture for HTTP/HTTPS load balancing. "
"Valuable features include authentication, caching, reverse proxy routing, and load balancing."
"It's lightweight software that can handle heavy loads efficiently."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The scalability could be improved."
"They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing."
"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"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."
"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. "
