Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, MuleSoft, Software AG and others in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)."The connectivity the solution provides is excellent. There are often too many systems that we have to integrate and this helps with that."
"Most of our use cases are for Salesforce. So, the connectors for Salesforce have been really helpful. They've made development two times faster."
"Everything runs in Java, which is a useful feature."
"Once it is started, we don't see any problems on a day to day basis."
"The solution improved my company by modernizing the way we offer services and improving the user experience."
"The setup is straightforward."
"The solution doesn't require much code writing and we can develop APIs very easily."
"It is easily deployable and manageable. It has microservices-based architecture, which means that you can deploy the solution based on your needs, and you can manage the solution very easily."
"Valuable features include authentication, caching, reverse proxy routing, and load balancing."
"NGINX works much better than HAProxy in our current hardware and architecture for HTTP/HTTPS load balancing. "
"Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"This solution has everything."
"Zero Downtime has always been a strength in recommending infrastructure web services. NGINX allows me to execute such infrastructure with less complications and the ability to switch from server to server easily."
"The flexibility of its modules allow it to be scalable."
"-"
"It should have some amount of logging."
"We would like to have a built-in logging framework in which we can do auditing."
"It would be great to see implementing security modules as a feature."
"The solution's setup needs to be a bit more straightforward and its support needs to respond faster."
"Documentation is cryptic, product releases are far too frequent, and upgrades become troublesome."
"Limitation on external subscribers to listen to the messages on the bus."
"Community editions need more attention."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"It would be great if there was even more automation to make it even easier to maintain."
"The solution must improve its performance."
"They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing."
"The solution's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"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 solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy."
"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
