Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I think installation only took a couple of minutes — no more than 10 minutes.""The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites.""I need to highlight that the number one thing about NGINX is that it is free.""NGINX Plus also has NGINX App Protect. It's a separate module, which is inspired by the F5 apps.""This solution has everything.""With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically.""​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.​""Nginx is extremely efficient in terms of the connection rate to the CPU cycles ratio, and in terms of the bandwidth to CPU cycles."

"In Oracle SOA Suite some applications are not able to use REST, but it can support both SOAP and REST. You're able to integrate quite a lot of systems, which may not be able to in other solutions. You can also use XML and JSON. It is a standardizing type of tool. It doesn't matter whether I'm using JSON or XML, it can convert them.""It performs better in real-time transactions.""What I like best about Oracle SOA Suite is Oracle support. I also like the tool features, especially the integration feature.""The new product has come out with SOA Cloud Service and Integration Analytics as well, which gives more options for clients to pick their point of requirements.""In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it.""The product allows you to visualize how a company is working currently by providing rich possibilities for analysis such as the audit trails and therefore shows where improvements might be valuable.""The integration with various products.""Middleware jobs developing for EC, ERP, and shipping systems become easier."

Cons
"The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything.""Only improvement needed that I would point to is scalability. With it, I mean clusterized organisation on a low level. At the moment, the best alternative is RHEL HA.""The solution must improve its performance.""It would be great if there was even more automation to make it even easier to maintain.""It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface.""Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users.""There is room for improvement in the pricing model.""The solution's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."

More NGINX Plus Cons →

"SOA""Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses.""One area that could be better is the human task feature. It could be improved to provide more functionality and customization options because it has limited options available.""The technical support is good, we have premier support which costs extra.""The solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved.""The Maven integration in JDeveloper is very basic and might be enhanced to allow the proper use of Maven.""If the disk space expansion can be made more flexible, not requiring a database restart, it would be a major benefit.""The installation and adjustment process seems too complex."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Nginx is free. I don't have experience with the Plus version."
  • "I am not so happy with their pricing policy, but this is not the worse thing in my life. I can tolerate it."
  • "​NGINX Plus is worth it, if you need it. If you do not need the features or support, the free and open source package is more than capable. ​"
  • "​NGINX is a free tool in Brazil. There are some companies which do support it.​"
  • "The price is the cost to contract support with a specialized company, usually during consulting hours.​"
  • "Compared to other similar solutions on the market, I think it's over-priced."
  • "You pay for each feature that you want."
  • "The list price of NGINX Plus is close to $5,500."
  • More NGINX Plus Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Oracle pricing is expensive. Support is based on your license. AWS is much better than Oracle in this regard."
  • "It is necessary to evaluate the requirement regarding the platform usage and what the main operation area of the platform will be."
  • "This product is WebLogic based, hence it can be both resource hungry as well as expensive from a licensing point of view."
  • "Based on my knowledge, Oracle SOA Suite doesn't have user-based licensing. It has a system-based licensing model, so you pay for whole systems. Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution, so it's a four out of ten for me."
  • "The pricing is not very high as compared to its competitors."
  • "The product is moderately priced."
  • "Oracle SOA Suite is an expensive solution."

    Overview

    NGINX Plus is a versatile solution that offers load balancing, caching, proxying, and API deployment capabilities. It can be deployed on private or public clouds and is ideal for building CDN solutions. The solution can also be used to secure web applications and replace web services like Apache. 

    NGINX has helped organizations improve functioning, reduce downtimes, and offer a DevOps-friendly solution. Its community support and documentation are highly regarded, and its configuration is more straightforward, making it a recommended choice over HAProxy.

    Oracle SOA Suite is a comprehensive, standards-based software suite to build, deploy and manage integration following the concepts of service-oriented architecture (SOA). The components of the suite benefit from consistent tooling, a single deployment and management model, end-to-end security and unified metadata management. Oracle SOA Suite helps businesses lower costs by allowing maximum re-use of existing IT investments and assets, regardless of the environment (OS, application server, etc.) they run in, or the technology they were built upon. Its easy-to-use, re-use focused, unified application development tooling and end-to-end lifecycle management support further reduces development and maintenance cost and complexity.
