Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."One of the most valuable features of this solution is the server load balancing. Something that sets this solution apart from other products is that the hardware has a much higher capacity than other vendors. That's the edge of Array Networks. Their technical support services are also very good."
"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."
"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."
"When you use NGINX, you have more options and power."
"It's lightweight software that can handle heavy loads efficiently."
"The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites."
"NGINX Plus also has NGINX App Protect. It's a separate module, which is inspired by the F5 apps."
"Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility."
"Supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy."
"I would like to see more granular reporting and monitoring features, and I believe our clients want to see them as well. Also, SD-WAN would be a good addition."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"If NGINX brings some features for health check in the open source version, it would be better. "
"I would like it to have a more user-friendly graphical interface."
"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."
"The center management system could be improved."
"The solution must improve its performance."
"NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5."
"I would like the configuration process to be more simplified."
