We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The robust software architecture allows for it to be scalable and very stable.""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.""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.""-""I find the solution’s community support and documentation most valuable. Compared to HAProxy, have found a lot of documentation and community support on Quora. If you would be asking me as a developer whether to choose this product, I would recommend this since it has good community support, documentation, and signature updates. The configuration of HAProxy is also very tedious. However, NGINX’s configuration is very simple.""I need to highlight that the number one thing about NGINX is that it is free.""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 scalability could be improved.""The solution's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement.""The center management system could be improved.""NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money.""The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy.""The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything.""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.""There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
