Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."Nginx is extremely efficient in terms of the connection rate to the CPU cycles ratio, and in terms of the bandwidth to CPU cycles."
"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."
"Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility."
"NGINX works much better than HAProxy in our current hardware and architecture for HTTP/HTTPS load balancing. "
"The product is resilient."
"NGINX Plus' most valuable feature is the ingress controller."
"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."
"The product is lightweight and fast."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the central console, that allows you to see all of the activated and deactivated computers."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing."
"The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything."
"NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5."
"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."
"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."
"It would be great if there was even more automation to make it even easier to maintain."
"The solution's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement."
