"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."
"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 works much better than HAProxy in our current hardware and architecture for HTTP/HTTPS load balancing. "
"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."
"When you use NGINX, you have more options and power."
"The product must provide more flexibility."
"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."
"The center management system could be improved."
"They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing."
"The scaling should be built into the software rather than configured from an outside source."
"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."
"The solution must improve its performance."
"If NGINX brings some features for health check in the open source version, it would be better. "
"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."
