We performed a comparison between IBM WebSphere Message Broker 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 documentation, performance, stability and scalability of the tool are valuable."
"Performance-wise, this solution is really good."
"Straightforward development and deployment."
"The most valuable feature of IBM WebSphere Message Broker is the ability to facilitate communication with legacy systems, offering a multitude of great capabilities. For example, if there is a mainframe system in place with a web service serving as the front end. In that case, the solution enables efficient protocol transformations to convert all request payloads into a format that the legacy systems can accept, rendering the integration and transformation processes seamless and highly effective."
"We only use the basic features, but the most valuable one for us is the Publish-subscribe pattern."
"The transactions and message queuing are the most valuable features of the solution."
"It has many interfaces and you can connect to any backend source that has another format, and convert it to the desired format."
"It is a scalable solution...The setup is easy."
"-"
"I need to highlight that the number one thing about NGINX is that it is free."
"Supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy."
"NGINX Plus' most valuable feature is the ingress controller."
"I think installation only took a couple of minutes — no more than 10 minutes."
"The web proxy and the database proxy are excellent."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is simple to configure."
"Nginx is extremely efficient in terms of the connection rate to the CPU cycles ratio, and in terms of the bandwidth to CPU cycles."
"The solution can add container engines such as docker."
"The installation configuration is quite difficult."
"There is some lag in the GUI. There have been some performance issues and maybe it's because of the application data."
"The images and size of the containers are too big and I think that they should be more lightweight."
"Technical support is good but they could have a better response time."
"It is currently a weighty product."
"Stability and pricing are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"Technical support is very slow and needs to be improved."
"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. "
"The user interface could be improved."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users."
"The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything."
"The solution must improve its performance."
"They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing."
"I would like to see the Grafana integration in NGINX which is already present in HAProxy. Grafana integration will help the solution visualize all the data analytics on the dashboard which is currently not present."
