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 price is very good, and it's not very expensive."
"Barracuda's technical support is good - whenever we have an issue, they immediately connect and resolve it."
"Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility."
"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."
"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 product is lightweight and fast."
"It performs very well. That's one of the primary reasons we use NGINX."
"I think installation only took a couple of minutes — no more than 10 minutes."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"I need to highlight that the number one thing about NGINX is that it is free."
"Load Balancer ADC is competitively priced, but it's not feature-rich, and its technology is not that advanced."
"The quality of the solution's performance could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users."
"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."
"They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing."
"Our most challenging part was to run an older PHP website reverse-proxied through NGINX. That was not fun."
"The center management system could be improved."
"The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."
"NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5."
