We performed a comparison between Loadbalancer.org and NGINX Plus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It helps us to route the traffic to the available servers. If we didn't have Loadbalancer we would fail to set the end-user and it would cause a failure in the cluster."
"Loadbalancer.org is less complex than Citrix."
"We now get notifications when pool members go down, and we eliminate our downtime by not sending traffic to downed pool members."
"The performance is good."
"It's pretty much a Swiss Army knife for managing all the load balancing techniques."
"The support we have received from Loadbalancer.org has been good."
"The features I find valuable in this solution are the ease of managing the logs on the WAFs, the ease to identify break-in attempts into the network, the front-end firewall, and a more specific firewall."
"Existing customers are trying to migrate from the physical F5 load balancer to the AVI load balancer because it is scalable and easily managed."
"I need to highlight that the number one thing about NGINX is that it is free."
"It performs very well. That's one of the primary reasons we use NGINX."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is simple to configure."
"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."
"The flexibility of its modules allow it to be scalable."
"The web proxy and the database proxy are excellent."
"The product is lightweight and fast."
"Supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy."
"If I have to say something, I suppose they could add an automated configuration backup to an FTP location (or something similar) so you don’t have to manually do it. I don’t see this as a problem, of course, as the configuration rarely changes and we only need one backup, but maybe for other users that feature would be handy."
"I would like a notification when a new version of the software is available. They told me to sign up for their newsletter, but I have not received any notification for a newer software version."
"It doesn't have the bonding capability feature."
"We could enhance the security aspects of the load balancer."
"The automatic refresh of the System Overview webpage: It sometimes has an extra webpage reload (after a change) before you see it is executed. This can be confusing."
"The interface from Loadbalancer.org should be improved."
"Originally we had some stability issues with it, so they replaced it with a new box and it's fine."
"There are many features you can set in the backend of Loadbalancer. They should simplify the configuration. The administrator should be able to configure it more simply. How it is now, you can only configure it if you have a lot of experience."
"The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy."
"If NGINX brings some features for health check in the open source version, it would be better. "
"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."
"The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything."
"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."
"The user interface could be improved."
"NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5."
"Make modules easier to enable or disable. The beauty and ugly side of the NGINX modules is you have to know how to compile the module. For beginners or non-very technical aspirant(s) going for NGINX, they have to learn how to compile the modules."
