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."Proven solution with valuable customization."
"Microsoft Platform is the only viable solution when I wish to do something that is not supposed to be cross-platform."
"The .NET Framework is easier to use because it provides a wide range of libraries."
"The new .NET Core has those middlewares, which are awesome from a security standpoint. With the old Framework or the newer Framework, middleware is basically an event pipeline. You configure and register it, and it handles things centrally. A simple example is logging. With the old Framework, you needed to try/catch blocks everywhere. Here, you configure the logging handler once, and it captures exceptions across the application. I really like the middleware pattern."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft .NET Framework is debugging."
"In-built refactoring and .Net profilers are the most valuable features of the solution."
"The solution is not limited in storage, is customizable and simple to use."
"Initial setup is straightforward. All the components are readily available."
"The flexibility of its modules allow it to be scalable."
"When you use NGINX, you have more options and power."
"Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility."
"I need to highlight that the number one thing about NGINX is that it is free."
"NGINX Plus' most valuable feature is the ingress controller."
"The product is resilient."
"-"
"Valuable features include authentication, caching, reverse proxy routing, and load balancing."
"The product is nearing its sunset, and we think that by 2028, we won't get support anymore"
"The cloud features must be improved."
"Microsoft could improve .NET Framework by providing more resources to help users understand the solution."
"The product's price is an area of concern, making it an area where improvements are required."
"They should have more training materials available that are specific to .NET. We spend a lot of money training our engineers."
"The integration with DevOps tools, such as Azure DevOps, Jira, and GitLab, would be a valuable addition."
"The product’s reliability needs improvement."
"This solution is best used with some training."
"The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything."
"The center management system could be improved."
"The solution's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."
"Improvement needed in NGINX Plus could focus on optimizing memory usage for users."
"The user interface could be improved."
"The solution needs to be easier to setup and deploy."
"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."
