We performed a comparison between NGINX Plus, Oracle SOA Suite, and Windows Process Activation Services based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."NGINX works much better than HAProxy in our current hardware and architecture for HTTP/HTTPS load balancing. "
"Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility."
"Supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy."
"Its most valuable features are load balancing and application delivery. This is the most efficient application for these features because of stability and its efficiency."
"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."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"Application Gateway with application-level firewall tool and load distributor and balancer (also serves for A/B testing)."
"The best solution, by far, for web traffic control for things in production and just around the house."
"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."
"We were able to scale out using multiple application and web servers balanced by hardware load balancers and Weblogic clustering."
"The product provides transparency in finances."
"The most valuable features for us are the APIs, which we commonly use, as well as the scheduling capabilities and file transfers."
"What I like best about Oracle SOA Suite is Oracle support. I also like the tool features, especially the integration feature."
"I found the adapters to be most useful."
"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 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."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the central console, that allows you to see all of the activated and deactivated computers."
"The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything."
"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 is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5."
"The solution's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"The center management system could be improved."
"The scaling should be built into the software rather than configured from an outside source."
"The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"The interface is too complicated. Making modifications still requires too much technical knowledge."
"It's also not developer-friendly."
"They supply lots of documentation but finding what we need is challenging at times."
"The web services need to be more robust."
"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."
"I would like to see divided containers more separately as a microservice."
"If the disk space expansion can be made more flexible, not requiring a database restart, it would be a major benefit."
"Another area of improvement is performance. Because with multiple solutions connecting to the SOA platform, the performance of the SOA platform can be affected in time. So, that could be one area that could be improved with the SOA."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement."
