Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is lightweight and fast.""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 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.""Its versatility and capabilities make it invaluable for implementing patches and fixes when necessary.""The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is simple to configure.""Its most valuable features are load balancing and application delivery. This is the most efficient application for these features because of stability and its efficiency.""NGINX works much better than HAProxy in our current hardware and architecture for HTTP/HTTPS load balancing. ​​""The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites."

"Enables our Product Manager to post products to different outside EC platforms with only one interface and one process.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the option to design, and the development can happen at the same time.""The solution's XSLT or XSL Transformation feature was very useful.""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 product provides transparency in finances.""It performs better in real-time transactions.""In case there is something that doesn't work out of the box, you have the flexibility to customize it.""Valuable features include web service development and cloud connectivity."

More Oracle SOA Suite Pros →

"Internal workflow approval around ESS and MSS leave days, capex approval as well as internal communication to the business have improved the way my organization functions.""Workflow functionality and internal portal capabilities are the most important features.""They integrated it with the SAP router.""From the use of this solution, we have been able to establish better processes and have greater management of our company."

Cons
"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 user interface could be improved.""Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing.""Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users.""It would be great if there was even more automation to make it even easier to maintain.""The biggest room for improvement would be to allow NGINX Core machines to cluster for memory zones in some way with a plug and play module. ​""They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing.""The center management system could be improved."

More NGINX Plus Cons →

"Its function options can be improved.""The product is not user-friendly.""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 solution’s initial setup is complex and could be improved.""Decrease the number of internal resources which the product uses.""Another area of improvement is performance. Because with multiple solutions connecting to the SOA platform, the performance of the SOA platform can be affected in time. So, that could be one area that could be improved with the SOA.""The solutions can improve the communication or translations between formats, such as JSON and XML. The JSON REST API could improve.""The deployment could be made easier by including add-ons like Hudson and Maven."

More Oracle SOA Suite Cons →

"We encountered stability issues, especially on external functionality around its RFP capabilities.""The user interface could be improved by making it more user-friendly.""Our customers expect that a page will open within one second, and I doubt this will happen. Also, opening documentation takes time. Fixing this will help the customer and help to meet their expectations.""Due to our business, some setups were very complex.""External portal functionality with suppliers and customers needs improvement."

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."

  • "​SAP is not for every business. It depends on what is required. SAP is always going to be expensive​."
  • "Because India is so competitive in the IT world, people will start to move away from SAP's pricing because they have a market monopoly. Soon, they will start losing the monopoly part to open source and other things. I don't think their monopoly will run for more than three to four years because people are getting away from these monopolies."
  • "The cost of this solution is high."

    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.
