We performed a comparison between Linode and NGINX Plus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Oracle and others in Infrastructure as a Service Clouds (IaaS)."The ability to fire up a virtual machine, use it, and then kill it, is quite a valuable feature for me."
"The solution integrates easily."
"The virtual machine configuration tool is very helpful for setting up a new server or for modifying an existing server."
"I very much like the support that you get, and I think that it's excellent."
"The most valuable feature is that they are flexible and easy to get ahold of if I need something."
"They have a very nice web interface to allow you to manage and reorganize your server."
"The most valuable feature is the static IP address, which has been very helpful for being able to log into the same address over the course of more than a decade."
"Linode has many other cloud servers across the globe."
"The best solution, by far, for web traffic control for things in production and just around the house."
"I think installation only took a couple of minutes — no more than 10 minutes."
"The robust software architecture allows for it to be scalable and very stable."
"NGINX works much better than HAProxy in our current hardware and architecture for HTTP/HTTPS load balancing. "
"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."
"Nginx is simple to configure, very stable in a highly utilized environment and very modular, allowing DevOps to create it's own modules for interactive use with Nginx."
"This solution has everything."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"It would be nice if they had more data centers in Latin America."
"They recently changed the web interface and although the older one did not look as good, the new one is less responsive."
"Its cost can be improved."
"There is room for improvement regarding customer support."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
"One thing that I'd really like to see is auto-scaling node pools for their Kubernetes. I don't think that they have that. That's a huge one and would be very helpful. Specifically, what I would like is auto-scaling node pools that would scale down to zero nodes, which is tricky. That's very important for certain use cases."
"I don't know how all of their services work, but my understanding is that they're not offering the entry-level machine for someone who just wants to own their own web page."
"The only improvement in this aspect of the service which I can think of is perhaps a pool of developers who could be hired for those cases where the need goes beyond the support offered."
"The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."
"I would like the configuration process to be more simplified."
"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."
"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."
"I would like it to have a more user-friendly graphical interface."
"The scaling should be built into the software rather than configured from an outside source."
"The center management system could be improved."
