"I need to highlight that the number one thing about NGINX is that it is free."
"When you use NGINX, you have more options and power."
"The best solution, by far, for web traffic control for things in production and just around the house."
"Nginx is extremely efficient in terms of the connection rate to the CPU cycles ratio, and in terms of the bandwidth to CPU cycles."
"The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites."
"The robust software architecture allows for it to be scalable and very stable."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."

"Our most challenging part was to run an older PHP website reverse-proxied through NGINX. That was not fun."
"The scaling should be built into the software rather than configured from an outside source."
"Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users."
"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."
