"The price is very good, and it's not very expensive."
"Its versatility and capabilities make it invaluable for implementing patches and fixes when necessary."
"The best solution, by far, for web traffic control for things in production and just around the house."
"I need to highlight that the number one thing about NGINX is that it is free."

"When you use NGINX, you have more options and power."
"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.

The configuration of HAProxy is also very tedious. However, NGINX’s configuration is very simple."

"Load Balancer ADC is competitively priced, but it's not feature-rich, and its technology is not that advanced."

"Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users."
"The center management system could be improved."
