Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."

More Ivanti Virtual Web Application Firewall Pros →

"It's lightweight software that can handle heavy loads efficiently.""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.""-""Supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy.""Valuable features include authentication, caching, reverse proxy routing, and load balancing.""The product is resilient.""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.""Nginx is extremely efficient in terms of the connection rate to the CPU cycles ratio, and in terms of the bandwidth to CPU cycles."

Cons
"In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else."

More Ivanti Virtual Web Application Firewall Cons →

"There is room for improvement in the pricing model.""NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5.""The center management system could be improved.""The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy.""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 solution must improve its performance.""The user interface could be improved.""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.​"
