We performed a comparison between IBM BPM and NGINX Plus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The process creation."
"Automating the whole workflow process to give our data steward the ability to take actions rapidly, and making sure we have all the data synced within the different platforms that we are using."
"This solution has always been lacking in the user interface (UI), it needed to be improved a lot. However, from the acquisition of Spark UI, the UI is much better. Overall the solution is robust and has the ability to integrate with any product for complex workflows."
"There are a lot of things that you get out-of-the-box: Timers and so on, which took a lot of effort and code before."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It continues to keep up with the changing needs of the business. That is the strong value proposition of BPM. It's not a one-time automation."
"Good user interface and good add option."
"Technical support is good. They are very responsive. It is usually me who takes more time to get back to them than they take to get back to me, which is good."
"Its most valuable features are load balancing and application delivery. This is the most efficient application for these features because of stability and its efficiency."
"I think installation only took a couple of minutes — no more than 10 minutes."
"Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility."
"Nginx is simple to configure, very stable in a highly utilized environment and very modular, allowing DevOps to create it's own modules for interactive use with Nginx."
"NGINX Plus also has NGINX App Protect. It's a separate module, which is inspired by the F5 apps."
"Its versatility and capabilities make it invaluable for implementing patches and fixes when necessary."
"Application Gateway with application-level firewall tool and load distributor and balancer (also serves for A/B testing)."
"When I worked in a security research center, we tested NGINX to support DoS and DDoS attacks, and its results were great."
"I would like IBM to consider including AI-enabled process mining, robotic process automation, and very good OCR capabilities from the computer vision side."
"It might not be suitable for entry level clients because it comes with a huge number of modules for processing that at times might not be necessary for upcoming clients."
"Stability wavers. We have some opportunities for improvement in this space, especially as we approach our target volume of a million transactions a day. It is tough, because it is not necessarily the product. It is more around the platform and infrastructure to support it, so the connectivity to the database, web sessions, and reverse proxies in front of that."
"I hope IBM uses something from IBM Content Navigator to make the interface easier to navigate."
"It needs more customization. We like to customize the screens to show more things related to our company."
"IBM BPM can improve the dashboards and reports. It only has two dashboards, and reporting is very difficult to build."
"Better integration with other products in the automation suite."
"The initial setup can be tricky because IBM BPM is not based on a popular stack, and it's difficult to hire a developer for this product."
"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."
"The user interface could be improved."
"The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy."
"The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."
"The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything."
"NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"The biggest room for improvement would be to allow NGINX Core machines to cluster for memory zones in some way with a plug and play module. "
