We performed a comparison between Loadbalancer.org and NGINX Plus 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."Existing customers are trying to migrate from the physical F5 load balancer to the AVI load balancer because it is scalable and easily managed."
"Loadbalancer is easy to use. It performs well, with low latency."
"It does what it’s supposed to do which is balancing an important intranet site we are using, so if one server dies, the second becomes active straight away."
"The load balancers have an easy installation and a relatively simple, easy user interface to use."
"The performance is good."
"With basic network knowledge, our required system functionality can be configured and maintained."
"Most important for us that it makes sure that the load is distributed and that we always have access to the end servers."
"For now, it's stable."
"The flexibility of its modules allow it to be scalable."
"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."
"NGINX Plus' most valuable feature is the ingress controller."
"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 web proxy and the database proxy are excellent."
"The product is resilient."
"The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites."
"Valuable features include authentication, caching, reverse proxy routing, and load balancing."
"It would be great if there was a way to gain access to the graphing data, to create custom reports. If we had a way to use the graphing data, we could use it to present certain information to our client, such as the uptime status for their service."
"If I have to say something, I suppose they could add an automated configuration backup to an FTP location (or something similar) so you don’t have to manually do it. I don’t see this as a problem, of course, as the configuration rarely changes and we only need one backup, but maybe for other users that feature would be handy."
"I would like it if Loadbalancer had the ability to make rules for specific shared bots."
"The configuration is somewhat complicated. Someone who does not know the solution may find this challenging."
"You can run into an issue when one engineer passes the case over to another engineer after their shift and they don't know what the first engineer worked on up to that point."
"The configuration is somewhat complicated. Someone who does not know the solution may find this challenging."
"The interface from Loadbalancer.org should be improved."
"The solution can be a bit pricey."
"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."
"Our most challenging part was to run an older PHP website reverse-proxied through NGINX. That was not fun."
"NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5."
"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. "
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"The solution's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."
