We performed a comparison between NGINX Plus and Radware Alteon based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product is lightweight and fast."
"The web proxy and the database proxy are excellent."
"When I worked in a security research center, we tested NGINX to support DoS and DDoS attacks, and its results were great."
"The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect is that it establishes user security."
"Radware has been characterized by being extremely robust. This gives us the confidence to offer our users a continuous service."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"his solution allows me to secure applications, by blocking suspicious traffic based on the signature that has been enabled for that particular application."
"The integrated application protection provided by Alteon is very good. It really helps to avoid false positives in some cases. It provides important granularity to avoid a situation in which security or cybersecurity scenarios escape us."
"The product offers high availability."
"The GUI was a valuable feature. It was uncomplicated and easy to use."
"The strength of this solution is the application delivery controller."
"Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users."
"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 like the configuration process to be more simplified."
"The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."
"I would like it to have a more user-friendly graphical interface."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The solution must improve its performance."
"The solution could be more robust."
"I would like to see future enhancements in security, specifically in threat protection."
"We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license."
"Load balancing needs improvement. It needs better integration. I heard f5 works as a DNS operator which is not available in this solution. It would be better if that was implemented."
"I would like for the load balancing to work with premier and the cloud, a mix of premium and cloud."
"Recently our team was talking about the things you can customize in Alteon and the level of programming that doing so demands. I would like to see more information on how to customize the programming and troubleshoot."
"We are in the process of updating our version of the solution, so judging what should be improved is difficult. But in some cases, the visualization takes a while, especially for mapping issues."
"The user interface can be improved."
