Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."
"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."
"NGINX Plus also has NGINX App Protect. It's a separate module, which is inspired by the F5 apps."
"This solution has everything."
"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 best solution, by far, for web traffic control for things in production and just around the house."
"Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"The robust software architecture allows for it to be scalable and very stable."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else."
"The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."
"Our most challenging part was to run an older PHP website reverse-proxied through NGINX. That was not fun."
"The scalability could be improved."
"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."
"The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"I would like it to have a more user-friendly graphical interface."
"The center management system could be improved."
