We performed a comparison between NGINX Plus and WebLogic Suite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."NGINX Plus also has NGINX App Protect. It's a separate module, which is inspired by the F5 apps."
"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."
"Application Gateway with application-level firewall tool and load distributor and balancer (also serves for A/B testing)."
"When I worked in a security research center, we tested NGINX to support DoS and DDoS attacks, and its results were great."
"I need to highlight that the number one thing about NGINX is that it is free."
"Valuable features include authentication, caching, reverse proxy routing, and load balancing."
"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 product is resilient."
"Robust solution; console and enterprise management tools are really easy to work."
"The solution is very scalable. It's easy to add processes even if you are new to the solution."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides one place where you can control all of the services."
"A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database."
"The product is reliable."
"WebLogic Suite is scalable."
"This is a robust solution."
"The solution is useful for centralizing data."
"The solution's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"The center management system could be improved."
"They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing."
"NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5."
"I would like it to have a more user-friendly graphical interface."
"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."
"The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy."
"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 restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."
"The content search is not easy."
"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."
"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."
"The support is not good."
"This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications."
"Sometimes there are issues when we work on a VM because people use it to put all of their reports on it at the same time. Then I have to restart and rebuild the machine."
"There are sometimes issues with clusters."
