We also use provisioning to generate VM and NetScaler ADC solutions to propose access to applications for our customers."
"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."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"I think installation only took a couple of minutes — no more than 10 minutes."
"I need to highlight that the number one thing about NGINX is that it is free."
"Supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy."
"Valuable features include authentication, caching, reverse proxy routing, and load balancing."
"It performs very well. That's one of the primary reasons we use NGINX."
"NGINX works much better than HAProxy in our current hardware and architecture for HTTP/HTTPS load balancing. "
"We discussed problems with the network products with the Indian teams. The support center for network products is located in India. There are language barriers and issues with the time difference, so we sometimes face restrictions when dealing with this team."
"The solution must improve its performance."
"The scalability could be improved."
"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."
"The center management system could be improved."
"If NGINX brings some features for health check in the open source version, it would be better. "
"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."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."
