Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."We use the HDX protocol, a high-performing component of the Citrix solutions. We also use provisioning to generate VM and NetScaler ADC solutions to propose access to applications for our customers."
"NGINX works much better than HAProxy in our current hardware and architecture for HTTP/HTTPS load balancing. "
"Supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy."
"It performs very well. That's one of the primary reasons we use NGINX."
"When I worked in a security research center, we tested NGINX to support DoS and DDoS attacks, and its results were great."
"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."
"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."
"When you use NGINX, you have more options and power."
"Application Gateway with application-level firewall tool and load distributor and balancer (also serves for A/B testing)."
"We discussed problems with the network products with the Indian teams. The support center for network products is located in India. There are language barriers and issues with the time difference, so we sometimes face restrictions when dealing with this team."
"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5."
"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."
"Our most challenging part was to run an older PHP website reverse-proxied through NGINX. That was not fun."
"The user interface could be improved."
"I would like the configuration process to be more simplified."
