Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The best solution, by far, for web traffic control for things in production and just around the house.""Its versatility and capabilities make it invaluable for implementing patches and fixes when necessary.""The product is resilient.""NGINX Plus also has NGINX App Protect. It's a separate module, which is inspired by the F5 apps.""NGINX works much better than HAProxy in our current hardware and architecture for HTTP/HTTPS load balancing. ​​""-""Valuable features include authentication, caching, reverse proxy routing, and load balancing."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle SOA Suite is all the platform's capabilities.""In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it.""The stability of the solution is the most valuable feature.""It performs better in real-time transactions.""The new product has come out with SOA Cloud Service and Integration Analytics as well, which gives more options for clients to pick their point of requirements.""Valuable features include web service development and cloud connectivity.""This is one of the critical products for my company and we use it extensively. We currently use each and every feature of Oracle SOA.""In Oracle SOA Suite some applications are not able to use REST, but it can support both SOAP and REST. You're able to integrate quite a lot of systems, which may not be able to in other solutions. You can also use XML and JSON. It is a standardizing type of tool. It doesn't matter whether I'm using JSON or XML, it can convert them."

"The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet.""Integration within the solution is very good.""It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage.""A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access.""Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data.""WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly.""You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server."

Cons
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model.""The scalability could be improved.""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.​""I would like to see the Grafana integration in NGINX which is already present in HAProxy. Grafana integration will help the solution visualize all the data analytics on the dashboard which is currently not present.""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.""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."

More NGINX Plus Cons →

"Various parts of SOA, BPEL, and so on, each have their own consoles which need to be accessed individually with different logins. It would be better from an admin perspective if all the consoles were accessible via a single login.""The installation and adjustment process seems too complex.""SOA, OSB, SOA Cloud Service.""I would like to see divided containers more separately as a microservice.""Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses.""An important area that can be improved is the product's data monitoring. When we use the solution for interfacing or end-to-end data monitoring, we want to know exactly where the data is going and exactly where it is failing, or where there is an issue.""SOA""The web services need to be more robust."

More Oracle SOA Suite Cons →

"Its functions need more stability.""The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product.""WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system.""The speed of the backup should be enhanced.""Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version.""There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market.""This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language.""I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features."

  • "I am not so happy with their pricing policy, but this is not the worse thing in my life. I can tolerate it."

    Overview

    NGINX Plus is a versatile solution that offers load balancing, caching, proxying, and API deployment capabilities. It can be deployed on private or public clouds and is ideal for building CDN solutions. The solution can also be used to secure web applications and replace web services like Apache. 

    NGINX has helped organizations improve functioning, reduce downtimes, and offer a DevOps-friendly solution. Its community support and documentation are highly regarded, and its configuration is more straightforward, making it a recommended choice over HAProxy.

    Oracle SOA Suite is a comprehensive, standards-based software suite to build, deploy and manage integration following the concepts of service-oriented architecture (SOA). The components of the suite benefit from consistent tooling, a single deployment and management model, end-to-end security and unified metadata management. Oracle SOA Suite helps businesses lower costs by allowing maximum re-use of existing IT investments and assets, regardless of the environment (OS, application server, etc.) they run in, or the technology they were built upon. Its easy-to-use, re-use focused, unified application development tooling and end-to-end lifecycle management support further reduces development and maintenance cost and complexity.
