Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."We use the HDX protocol, a high-performing component of the Citrix solutions. We also use provisioning to generate VM and NetScaler ADC solutions to propose access to applications for our customers."
"Application Gateway with application-level firewall tool and load distributor and balancer (also serves for A/B testing)."
"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."
"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."
"NGINX Plus' most valuable feature is the ingress controller."
"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."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"Supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy."
"We discussed problems with the network products with the Indian teams. The support center for network products is located in India. There are language barriers and issues with the time difference, so we sometimes face restrictions when dealing with this team."
"The scaling should be built into the software rather than configured from an outside source."
"I would like it to have a more user-friendly graphical interface."
"The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything."
"Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users."
"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."
"It would be great if there was even more automation to make it even easier to maintain."
"The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."
"The solution's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
