I conducted research to test different detection percentages. I did not use it directly for protection but for evaluation purposes.""NGINX App Protect's best features are auto-learning, which creates a profile of applications that are deployed, bot protection, and force protection, which lets you configure your brute force policy and alert for and prevent brute force attacks."

"The initial setup was straightforward. Straight forward because the plugin can simply be installed and then it does its job. It's not complex, there is no learning curve. The online scan is simple, you put in the website address and the scan gives us a report on the browser itself. It's simple to use.""I use it as a WAF, which is basically a web firewall to monitor and block traffic to our web server.""The most valuable part is the analytics and visualization.""It significantly eases the workload and streamlines the initial setup required to protect a website.""Domain name scanning since it allows us to scan all our domain names and determine whether it has malware or if is reported as phishing.""The initial setup was very easy."

Cons
"The price of NGINX App Protect could improve.""The configuration needs to be more flexible because it is difficult to do things that are outside of the ordinary.""They could provide a better user interface.""It's challenging if you need to go for a high throughput.""NGINX App Protect could improve security.""The dashboard could provide a more comprehensive view of the status of the connections.""As far as scalability, it takes a long time for deployment.""The integration of NGINX App Protect could improve."

More NGINX App Protect Cons →

"I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. The reason is that we have found sometimes customers or Google saying that there is something wrong with the website but Sucuri says that the site is clean so we do have to look at the site manually which means that the Sucuri scan does not pick up anything and everything.""Confident score: Currently it does not have one and there are cases that most websites flagged are false-positives.""It would greatly benefit customers if they implemented an online chat or messaging system for quicker assistance.""In terms of improvement, the cost factor is always there.""Sucuri could provide help for specific security alerts in-line instead of requiring users to search for it in the help section.""The main improvement I would like to see is support for .NET applications. If they could include this feature, I would include more sites in the protection."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "There are no additional fees."
  • "NGINX is not expensive."

  • "I’d simply say it’s really worth it."
  • "Sucuri offers different plans, both the standard plan and an advanced plan. So there are different plans to choose from."
  • "The ROI has been very good. Because of the solution, I have a tax break. The site developers were not always experienced people. We used to pay more for cleaning up the site when it was infected. Now, we have peace of mind knowing that the solution will clean up the site and that we won't have to go through the unnecessary process of restoring it from a backup. The protection on the WAF and the measures for backups have also prevented our site from going down."
  • "It stands out as a more cost-effective option compared to other cloud-based security services like Cloudflare or JetPass."
