We performed a comparison between Loadbalancer.org and NGINX Plus 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."The features I find valuable in this solution are the ease of managing the logs on the WAFs, the ease to identify break-in attempts into the network, the front-end firewall, and a more specific firewall."
"The connection that this solution helps our servers maintain has been most useful."
"Loadbalancer is easy to use. It performs well, with low latency."
"I like the different ways to balance the chart."
"I found scalability in Loadbalancer.org valuable."
"Loadbalancer.org is less complex than Citrix."
"The performance is good."
"It's pretty much a Swiss Army knife for managing all the load balancing techniques."
"This solution has everything."
"The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites."
"The web proxy and the database proxy are excellent."
"Supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy."
"NGINX Plus' most valuable feature is the ingress controller."
"NGINX Plus also has NGINX App Protect. It's a separate module, which is inspired by the F5 apps."
"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."
"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 configuration is somewhat complicated. Someone who does not know the solution may find this challenging."
"You can run into an issue when one engineer passes the case over to another engineer after their shift and they don't know what the first engineer worked on up to that point."
"The interface from Loadbalancer.org should be improved."
"Loadbalancer is expensive. At Globo, it is probably the most expensive tool we use. Annually, we are paying more than $1 million."
"The solution can be a bit pricey."
"I would like it if Loadbalancer had the ability to make rules for specific shared bots."
"The configuration is somewhat complicated. Someone who does not know the solution may find this challenging."
"I'd like to see scalability improved; it can be costly."
"The center management system could be improved."
"The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"The scalability could be improved."
"NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5."
"The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything."
"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."
"It would be great if there was even more automation to make it even easier to maintain."
