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."
"NGINX Plus also has NGINX App Protect. It's a separate module, which is inspired by the F5 apps."
"I need to highlight that the number one thing about NGINX is that it is free."
"NGINX Plus' most valuable feature is the ingress controller."
"The best solution, by far, for web traffic control for things in production and just around the house."
"The product is lightweight and fast."
"NGINX works much better than HAProxy in our current hardware and architecture for HTTP/HTTPS 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."
"Valuable features include authentication, caching, reverse proxy routing, and load balancing."
"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."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing."
"The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything."
"The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy."
"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."
"Make modules easier to enable or disable. The beauty and ugly side of the NGINX modules is you have to know how to compile the module. For beginners or non-very technical aspirant(s) going for NGINX, they have to learn how to compile the modules."
"I would like it to have a more user-friendly graphical interface."
