We performed a comparison between NGINX Plus and Radware Alteon based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product is lightweight and fast."
"Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature of the solution is that it is simple to configure."
"-"
"Supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy."
"The robust software architecture allows for it to be scalable and very stable."
"I like the ADC feature and the global certificate feature."
"The most valuable aspect is that it establishes user security."
"The best part is that we are able to manage it easily. It is easy to manage and easy to integrate with third-party applications."
"A user-friendly and reasonably priced solution."
"I am finding SSL-TLS acceleration the most valuable function, with certificate management. It is easy to generate certificates and assign them to services"
"With Alteon, the load-balancing options are practically unlimited. We haven't had any issues with offloading, decryption, putting in cookies, or any other load-balancing features. We can check URLs, etc., on the back end for load balancing instead of running a TCP check. We're also doing some certificate stuff on there. Alteon covers all of the standard load-balancing techniques, and we employ most of them daily."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"The best features are the security through the web application firewall, the functionality that the solution offers, being a load balancer with the security functionality on top of it, and the ease of administration."
"I would like it to have a more user-friendly graphical interface."
"The biggest room for improvement would be to allow NGINX Core machines to cluster for memory zones in some way with a plug and play module. "
"The scalability could be improved."
"The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."
"The user interface could be improved."
"The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything."
"I would suggest adding GUI-based configuration panels to NGINX Plus to simplify setup and management tasks."
"It would be great if there was even more automation to make it even easier to maintain."
"Performance could be improved."
"Load balancing needs improvement. It needs better integration. I heard f5 works as a DNS operator which is not available in this solution. It would be better if that was implemented."
"I would like this solution to have an integration tool that will convert configuration from other software, into readable values for this product during implementation."
"The solution could be more robust."
"Radware Alteon could improve the troubleshooting from the command line interface, they could do a better job making it easier."
"Scalability should be based on customer requirements."
"Support is an area that needs improvement."
"The solution could be more open to additional third-party add-ons being integrated into it."
