"Nginx is extremely efficient in terms of the connection rate to the CPU cycles ratio, and in terms of the bandwidth to CPU cycles."
"When you use NGINX, you have more options and power."
"The robust software architecture allows for it to be scalable and very stable."
"Supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy."
"I need to highlight that the number one thing about NGINX is that it is free."
"The most valuable aspect is that it establishes user security."
"The interface is easy, it's friendly, and has good alerting."
"The best part is that we are able to manage it easily. It is easy to manage and easy to integrate with third-party applications."
"The link load balancing is a great feature."
"The command line interface is simple and very user-friendly."
"Security is one of the most valuable features that I like. It is easy to use and easy to configure."
"his solution allows me to secure applications, by blocking suspicious traffic based on the signature that has been enabled for that particular application."

"NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5."
"The center management system could be improved."
"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."
"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"It would be great if there was even more automation to make it even easier to maintain."
"The scaling should be built into the software rather than configured from an outside source."
"We are having a difficult time with the security module, and how to implement the Radware security."

"Radware Alteon could improve the troubleshooting from the command line interface, they could do a better job making it easier."
"A feature that I would like to see included in the next version might be a better analysis when working with crypt issues. Right now, it is very manual; you load it into Alteon and it runs. It would be interesting to see a more dynamic process."
"We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license."
"I would like this solution to have an integration tool that will convert configuration from other software, into readable values for this product during implementation."
"The GUI needs to be improved. Right now, the solution isn't so user-friendly."
"I would like for the load balancing to work with premier and the cloud, a mix of premium and cloud."
