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."Application Gateway with application-level firewall tool and load distributor and balancer (also serves for A/B testing)."
"NGINX Plus also has NGINX App Protect. It's a separate module, which is inspired by the F5 apps."
"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."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"It's lightweight software that can handle heavy loads efficiently."
"Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility."
"I need to highlight that the number one thing about NGINX is that it is free."
"It performs very well. That's one of the primary reasons we use NGINX."
"The most valuable feature is the load-balancing reverse proxy."
"The most valuable features of Radware Alteon are the reverse proxy functionality and the SSL offload and hardware."
"The solution has been very stable."
"The best features are the security through the web application firewall, the functionality that the solution offers, being a load balancer with the security functionality on top of it, and the ease of administration."
"The link load balancing is a great feature."
"The product offers high availability."
"With Alteon, the load-balancing options are practically unlimited. We haven't had any issues with offloading, decryption, putting in cookies, or any other load-balancing features. We can check URLs, etc., on the back end for load balancing instead of running a TCP check. We're also doing some certificate stuff on there. Alteon covers all of the standard load-balancing techniques, and we employ most of them daily."
"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."
"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."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."
"I would like the configuration process to be more simplified."
"The center management system could be improved."
"Make modules easier to enable or disable. The beauty and ugly side of the NGINX modules is you have to know how to compile the module. For beginners or non-very technical aspirant(s) going for NGINX, they have to learn how to compile the modules."
"The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"I would like the solution to display and help visualize the reference map more easily. I would also like to better understand where queries come from and know which users are consulting the application, along with which app."
"I would like for the load balancing to work with premier and the cloud, a mix of premium and cloud."
"The community portal does not have a place to find scripts."
"I would like to see the loading documentation improved."
"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."
"We recently had a problem with the tables Obsolete ARP which was observed by the support team. It would be good to diagnose and solve this problem with a patch since it is not documented that it will be solved in later updates."
"The reverse proxy piece is a little bit complicated. If the reverse proxy were easier to implement, that would help."
"Radware Alteon could improve the troubleshooting from the command line interface, they could do a better job making it easier."
