"The solution could improve by being able to handle different use cases."
"The solution is not very scalable, to scale up would require another deployment with a new appliance and a change to the network."

"Areas for improvement would be if NGINX could scan for vulnerabilities and learn and update the signatures of DoS attacks."
"They could provide a better user interface."
"The configuration needs to be more flexible because it is difficult to do things that are outside of the ordinary."
"As far as scalability, it takes a long time for deployment."
"The setup of NGINX App Protect is complex. The full process took one week to complete. Additionally, we had to change the network infrastructure platform which took one month."
"The price of NGINX App Protect could improve."
"Right now, the tool doesn't provide an option revolving around update feeds, specifically the signature update option in the UI."
"The product's user interface is an area with shortcomings as it can be quite confusing for users, making it an area where improvements are required."
