"When you use NGINX, you have more options and power."
"The best solution, by far, for web traffic control for things in production and just around the house."

"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."
"The flexibility of its modules allow it to be scalable."
"It's lightweight software that can handle heavy loads efficiently."

"Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users."
"If NGINX brings some features for health check in the open source version, it would be better. "
