"When I worked in a security research center, we tested NGINX to support DoS and DDoS attacks, and its results were great."
"The device blocks threats and allows legitimate users to work correctly."
"The link load balancing is a great feature."
"The solution has been very stable."
"The command line interface is simple and very user-friendly."
"The most valuable aspect is the ability to customize the types of load-balancing scenarios needed for customized applications. Some of the load balancers on the market today are strictly out-of-hand load balancers for SSL or HTTP. Radware Alteon is most useful for customizing in-house applications based on ports and protocols."
"The health status information, with its highly detailed reporting, has saved us time on troubleshooting. We have the precise information needed that helps us find different types of situations."
"The most valuable aspect is that it establishes user security."
"I am finding SSL-TLS acceleration the most valuable function, with certificate management. It is easy to generate certificates and assign them to services"
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The scalability could be improved."
"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."
"The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything."
