We performed a comparison between Microsoft .NET Framework 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."Microsoft .NET Framework continually innovates, particularly in Visual Studio, which focuses on improving languages, debugging, and .NET functionality."
"The addition of generics to handle common functionality across types, and the more recent upgrade of the dataset to the Entity Framework, has cut development time drastically, while increasing quality and confidence between builds."
"I like that ASP.NET is used for the framework and the core web services."
"The Windows Communication Foundation is the biggest advantage we get from the .NET Framework."
"The solution is easy to use if the user is a developer or some technical person."
"Proven solution with valuable customization."
"When we talk about .NET development, we use Visual Studio IDE to create these things. In recent years, there have been a lot of improvements in Visual Studio 2022. It would be a daunting task to list all of the features that have benefited us, as it would require a lot of time and effort. However, there are definitely many improvements year after year in .NET development."
"The solution is easy to use."
"-"
"Application Gateway with application-level firewall tool and load distributor and balancer (also serves for A/B testing)."
"The best solution, by far, for web traffic control for things in production and just around the house."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is simple to configure."
"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."
"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 robust software architecture allows for it to be scalable and very stable."
"The flexibility of its modules allow it to be scalable."
".NET Is still heavy or dependant on other Microsoft libraries and frameworks."
"The solution is difficult to learn if someone is learning it for the first time."
"I would like to see a better response time from the technical support."
"This solution should include Power BI so that we don't have to use any third-party tools."
"Lacking in auto-scaling."
"The integration with DevOps tools, such as Azure DevOps, Jira, and GitLab, would be a valuable addition."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"It is of great concern to us that the solution is not very powerful on cross platform, at it impedes the ability to build and scale with it."
"The scalability could be improved."
"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."
"NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5."
"I would suggest adding GUI-based configuration panels to NGINX Plus to simplify setup and management tasks."
"I would like it to have a more user-friendly graphical interface."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"It would be great if there was even more automation to make it even easier to maintain."
"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."
Microsoft .NET Framework is ranked 4th in Application Infrastructure with 47 reviews while NGINX Plus is ranked 2nd in Application Infrastructure with 27 reviews.
