Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."
"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."
"It performs very well. That's one of the primary reasons we use 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 web proxy and the database proxy are excellent."
"When I worked in a security research center, we tested NGINX to support DoS and DDoS attacks, and its results were great."
"NGINX works much better than HAProxy in our current hardware and architecture for HTTP/HTTPS load balancing. "
"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 robust software architecture allows for it to be scalable and very stable."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else."
"I would like to see the Grafana integration in NGINX which is already present in HAProxy. Grafana integration will help the solution visualize all the data analytics on the dashboard which is currently not present."
"They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing."
"The user interface could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"Our most challenging part was to run an older PHP website reverse-proxied through NGINX. That was not fun."
"Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users."
"NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5."
"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."
