NGINX App Protect needs more flexible configuration and profiling capabilities. Automation for setting policies, better high throughput, improved bug fix rate, and more robust scaling are needed. The license model is problematic, becoming costly quickly. Users desire integrated virus scanning and WebSocket inspection, enhanced vulnerability scanning, updated DoS attack signatures, better UI, and superior technical support. Integration with diverse networks and clear documentation are also areas for enhancement.
- "It doesn't have more advanced features like no false-positive security, which you can configure in Advanced WAF."
- "The product's price is high, making it an area of concern where improvements are required. The tool's licensing model is also not good."
- "The solution needs to be improved in the e-commerce portal."
