Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"​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.​""Valuable features include authentication, caching, reverse proxy routing, and load balancing.""NGINX works much better than HAProxy in our current hardware and architecture for HTTP/HTTPS load balancing. ​​""It's lightweight software that can handle heavy loads efficiently.""Application Gateway with application-level firewall tool and load distributor and balancer (also serves for A/B testing).""Nginx is extremely efficient in terms of the connection rate to the CPU cycles ratio, and in terms of the bandwidth to CPU cycles.""Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility.""When you use NGINX, you have more options and power."

Cons
"The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything.""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 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. ​""NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5.""They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing.""The center management system could be improved.""The scalability could be improved.""The scaling should be built into the software rather than configured from an outside source."
