Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"This solution has everything."
"The web proxy and the database proxy are excellent."
"The product is lightweight and fast."
"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."
"When you use NGINX, you have more options and power."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is AppFabric's hosting solution, which is what we need for running workflows."
"The product's deployment phase was very easy."
"It is very usable and easy to understand. Antivirus and VPN are the main features being used now. It allows my clients to access the network from home, which was very crucial because of the pandemic."
"I would suggest adding GUI-based configuration panels to NGINX Plus to simplify setup and management tasks."
"They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing."
"If NGINX brings some features for health check in the open source version, it would be better. "
"The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"The user interface could be improved."
"I would like the configuration process to be more simplified."
"Microsoft will stop supporting the product next year, and we can't run unsupported programs in our systems."
"The product is unable to connect with different cloud services."
"Its price and licensing policy can be improved. It could be a little cheaper. Licensing is sometimes confusing. There are so many different options. It is difficult to find out what to buy or what to choose for my necessity."
