Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites.""​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.​""This solution has everything.""NGINX Plus' most valuable feature is the ingress controller.""Application Gateway with application-level firewall tool and load distributor and balancer (also serves for A/B testing).""When I worked in a security research center, we tested NGINX to support DoS and DDoS attacks, and its results were great.""It's lightweight software that can handle heavy loads efficiently.""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."

"The solution is very scalable. It's easy to add processes even if you are new to the solution.""The most valuable feature is that it provides one place where you can control all of the services.""A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database.""What I've been seeing as the most valuable characteristics of WebLogic Suite include robustness and scalability. It's a really good solution, and I'm not saying this because my company is a partner of WebLogic Suite. I also like that with the newer versions of the solution, you can deploy WebLogic Suite faster. Oracle also provides excellent technical support.""The program is scalable.""It easily connects to other Oracle products and services.""The product is reliable.""The transaction handling of WebLogic and the way it is designed is excellent."

Cons
"If NGINX brings some features for health check in the open source version, it would be better. ​""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.""There is room for improvement in the pricing model.""The user interface could be improved.""The scalability could be improved.""NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5.""The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."

More NGINX Plus Cons →

"The solution needs to share more information in terms of training. There needs to be more documentation involved to help those who are completely new to the product.""This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters.""Sometimes there are issues when we work on a VM because people use it to put all of their reports on it at the same time. Then I have to restart and rebuild the machine.""I rate the scalability of WebLogic Suite an eight out of ten.""There are sometimes issues with clusters.""Lacking a solution for smaller applications.""The content search is not easy.""Support could be better. The expertise when we have some Oracle WebLogic issues and challenges is not there. The issues are not being addressed in time. This really needs to be improved going forward."
