"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."
"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 is extremely efficient in terms of the connection rate to the CPU cycles ratio, and in terms of the bandwidth to CPU cycles."
"The best solution, by far, for web traffic control for things in production and just around the house."
"Most of the documentation is online, however, there are some gaps there. The product documentation still refers back to the 2012 Server. We're pretty much in 2022. There's a ten-year gap there."
"The platform performance and responsiveness need improvement. It still demands high computing resources."
"We have some bugs but it's stable. It doesn't break every day. It works. Like other applications, it has a lot of bugs but they're manageable."
"Less server consumption would help, as would better, more flexible reports."
"The multi-tenancy support needs to be improved. We need to have the ability to manage several different environments from one central point of administration."
"Something super important that we need is this integration via Intune Configuration Manager."
"The solution's dashboard needs improvement."
"The platform's performance could be improved. Additionally, its UI needs to be well-upgraded and work faster."
"The scalability could be improved."
"I would like it to have a more user-friendly graphical interface."
"The center management system could be improved."
"The solution's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"The user interface could be improved."
"The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."
