Cons
"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.​""Only improvement needed that I would point to is scalability. With it, I mean clusterized organisation on a low level. At the moment, the best alternative is RHEL HA.""The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy.""They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing.""The scalability could be improved.""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.""The center management system could be improved.""Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."

"Radware LinkProof’s customer support could be improved.""Could have more customizations on the dashboard.""The solution lacks HA configuration.""There are certain features I would like to see in the next release.""Radware LinkProof's marketing efforts need improvement to raise awareness about its capabilities and compete effectively in the market."
