We performed a comparison between Barracuda Load Balancer ADC 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."The price is very good, and it's not very expensive."
"Barracuda's technical support is good - whenever we have an issue, they immediately connect and resolve it."
"Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility."
"Nginx is extremely efficient in terms of the connection rate to the CPU cycles ratio, and in terms of the bandwidth to CPU cycles."
"Valuable features include authentication, caching, reverse proxy routing, and load balancing."
"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."
"When you use NGINX, you have more options and power."
"The web proxy and the database proxy are excellent."
"NGINX Plus also has NGINX App Protect. It's a separate module, which is inspired by the F5 apps."
"The robust software architecture allows for it to be scalable and very stable."
"Load Balancer ADC is competitively priced, but it's not feature-rich, and its technology is not that advanced."
"The quality of the solution's performance could be improved."
"They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing."
"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."
"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."
"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 solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy."
"Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users."
"The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."
