Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites.""Supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy.""When I worked in a security research center, we tested NGINX to support DoS and DDoS attacks, and its results were great.""With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically.""The best solution, by far, for web traffic control for things in production and just around the house.""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.""Valuable features include authentication, caching, reverse proxy routing, and load balancing.""​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 Oracle SOA Suite has many useful features, and different organizations may place different emphases on the importance of each feature. Certain features are particularly important to the organization, such as the ability to access databases and transform messages, as well as the use of proxy services to secure web services with usernames and passwords. These features can be critical for enabling effective integration and data exchange between systems and applications.""The most valuable feature of the facility, as the partner link, is to try to use third-party services and logic in your own vehicle to orchestrate the information.""What I like best about Oracle SOA Suite is Oracle support. I also like the tool features, especially the integration feature.""Valuable features include connectors and BAM.""The solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful.""The product provides transparency in finances.""The most valuable features for us are the APIs, which we commonly use, as well as the scheduling capabilities and file transfers.""The integration with various products."

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.​""The scalability could be improved.""Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users.""NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5.""The solution's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement.""Our most challenging part was to run an older PHP website reverse-proxied through NGINX. That was not fun.""Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing.""It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."

More NGINX Plus Cons →

"One area that could be better is the human task feature. It could be improved to provide more functionality and customization options because it has limited options available.""An area for improvement in Oracle SOA Suite is the cost. It could be lower.""The technical support is good, we have premier support which costs extra.""The deployment could be made easier by including add-ons like Hudson and Maven.""The interface is too complicated. Making modifications still requires too much technical knowledge.""The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved.""I want to see easier integration connections with other cloud-based tools.""The product is not user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "I am not so happy with their pricing policy, but this is not the worse thing in my life. I can tolerate it."

  • "​NGINX is a free tool in Brazil. There are some companies which do support it.​"
  • "The price is the cost to contract support with a specialized company, usually during consulting hours.​"

  • "You pay for each feature that you want."

  • "Oracle pricing is expensive. Support is based on your license. AWS is much better than Oracle in this regard."
  • "It is necessary to evaluate the requirement regarding the platform usage and what the main operation area of the platform will be."
  • "This product is WebLogic based, hence it can be both resource hungry as well as expensive from a licensing point of view."

  • "The product is moderately priced."
  • "Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."

    Overview

    NGINX Plus is a versatile solution that offers load balancing, caching, proxying, and API deployment capabilities. It can be deployed on private or public clouds and is ideal for building CDN solutions. The solution can also be used to secure web applications and replace web services like Apache. 

    NGINX has helped organizations improve functioning, reduce downtimes, and offer a DevOps-friendly solution. Its community support and documentation are highly regarded, and its configuration is more straightforward, making it a recommended choice over HAProxy.

    Oracle SOA Suite is a comprehensive, standards-based software suite to build, deploy and manage integration following the concepts of service-oriented architecture (SOA). The components of the suite benefit from consistent tooling, a single deployment and management model, end-to-end security and unified metadata management. Oracle SOA Suite helps businesses lower costs by allowing maximum re-use of existing IT investments and assets, regardless of the environment (OS, application server, etc.) they run in, or the technology they were built upon. Its easy-to-use, re-use focused, unified application development tooling and end-to-end lifecycle management support further reduces development and maintenance cost and complexity.
