Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Application Gateway with application-level firewall tool and load distributor and balancer (also serves for A/B testing).""This solution has everything.""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.""With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically.""NGINX Plus also has NGINX App Protect. It's a separate module, which is inspired by the F5 apps.""Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility.""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.""When I worked in a security research center, we tested NGINX to support DoS and DDoS attacks, and its results were great."

More NGINX Plus Pros →

"The most valuable feature is that it provides one place where you can control all of the services.""It easily connects to other Oracle products and services.""The transaction handling of WebLogic and the way it is designed is excellent.""The product is reliable.""The most valuable feature of WebLogic is it has excellent performance and stability compared to the previous solution we used.""The solution is useful for centralizing data.""WebLogic adds a lot of value to business and investments.""A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database."

Cons
"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.""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.""I would like it to have a more user-friendly graphical interface.""The center management system could be improved.""It would be great if there was even more automation to make it even easier to maintain.""The biggest room for improvement would be to allow NGINX Core machines to cluster for memory zones in some way with a plug and play module. ​""The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything.""It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."

More NGINX Plus Cons →

"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified.""Sometimes there are issues when we work on a VM because people use it to put all of their reports on it at the same time. Then I have to restart and rebuild the machine.""The solution needs to share more information in terms of training. There needs to be more documentation involved to help those who are completely new to the product.""Support could be better. The expertise when we have some Oracle WebLogic issues and challenges is not there. The issues are not being addressed in time. This really needs to be improved going forward.""There are sometimes issues with clusters.""This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters.""This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications.""The support is not good."
