We performed a comparison between Microsoft .NET Framework and NGINX Plus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Firstly, I appreciate the decision to use Microsoft .NET Framework. I find it to be an excellent language, with a history rooted in providing an alternative to Java, albeit with initial challenges. It is gaining popularity and may be voted the most desirable programming language. What I particularly like about .NET is its language efficiency. While C# is the primary language, the platform also supports others, catering to those inclined towards functional programming. Although I started with Shell, I'm still grasping the concept of functional programming. Despite initial reservations about object-oriented programming, I acknowledge its advantages. .NET is a safer option, and despite criticisms, it has evolved over the years. One notable aspect is .NET's transition to an open platform in recent years, distancing itself from being exclusive to Microsoft engineers. I appreciate the versatility of .NET, enabling code production for a wide range of platforms, presenting a strong competition to Java. It allows targeting practically any physical platform, showcasing its flexibility. These qualities contribute to my positive view of .NET, totaling thirteen aspects that I find appealing."
"The .NET Framework is easier to use because it provides a wide range of libraries."
"In-built refactoring and .Net profilers are the most valuable features of the solution."
"The most valuable thing about Microsoft .NET Framework is that it is an enterprise-grade language and platform."
"The most valuable features are the Domain Controller and the WBFS Manager."
"Pre-programmed functions for .NET Framework are widely available."
"The most valuable feature is the financial accounting."
"Microsoft .NET Framework continually innovates, particularly in Visual Studio, which focuses on improving languages, debugging, and .NET functionality."
"This solution has everything."
"When you use NGINX, you have more options and power."
"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."
"Zero Downtime has always been a strength in recommending infrastructure web services. NGINX allows me to execute such infrastructure with less complications and the ability to switch from server to server easily."
"The robust software architecture allows for it to be scalable and very stable."
"The best solution, by far, for web traffic control for things in production and just around the house."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is simple to configure."
"It would be nice if the framework were able to work with additional environments and systems like Linux."
"Microsoft could improve .NET Framework by providing more resources to help users understand the solution."
"I would like to see more pre-built features in the MVC framework because as it is now, it's very open and you have to develop your own controls in order to use it."
"Needs stronger security with respect to cloud issues."
"The product could have a better framework for application development."
"The integration with DevOps tools, such as Azure DevOps, Jira, and GitLab, would be a valuable addition."
"Lacking in auto-scaling."
"The product is nearing its sunset, and we think that by 2028, we won't get support anymore"
"I would like it to have a more user-friendly graphical interface."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"If NGINX brings some features for health check in the open source version, it would be better. "
"The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."
"Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users."
"NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5."
"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."
"The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy."
