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."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 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."
"Supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy."
"It's lightweight software that can handle heavy loads efficiently."
"-"
"Its most valuable features are load balancing and application delivery. This is the most efficient application for these features because of stability and its efficiency."
"The product is resilient."
"I think installation only took a couple of minutes — no more than 10 minutes."
"The solution has been very stable."
"I found the link load balancer and server load balancer are the most valuable."
"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."
"Security is one of the most valuable features that I like. It is easy to use and easy to configure."
"The most valuable aspect is the ability to customize the types of load-balancing scenarios needed for customized applications. Some of the load balancers on the market today are strictly out-of-hand load balancers for SSL or HTTP. Radware Alteon is most useful for customizing in-house applications based on ports and protocols."
"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 GUI was a valuable feature. It was uncomplicated and easy to use."
"The device blocks threats and allows legitimate users to work correctly."
"I would like the configuration process to be more simplified."
"The solution's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"The center management system could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"It would be great if there was even more automation to make it even easier to maintain."
"The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."
"If NGINX brings some features for health check in the open source version, it would be better. "
"Their support can be better. The Radware management is very proactive. We can connect to anybody in Radware Management in India. We can even connect with the MD of Radware India. However, their lower level staff should be more proactive towards the customers."
"I would like the solution to display and help visualize the reference map more easily. I would also like to better understand where queries come from and know which users are consulting the application, along with which app."
"Recently our team was talking about the things you can customize in Alteon and the level of programming that doing so demands. I would like to see more information on how to customize the programming and troubleshoot."
"We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license."
"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."
"I would like for the load balancing to work with premier and the cloud, a mix of premium and cloud."
"It can be improved by combining the web application firewall (WAF) facility."
"Support is very important because if we get good support, we'll be able to sell and supply more numbers."
