Quick installation and very easy to manage while doing orchestration or automation

NGINX cannot be a replacement for your traditional load balancer with what we use in the network today. However, with applications going toward microservices, NGINX is definitely a way forward. F5 has many traditional load balancing features, so they still need to bring some of those features to NGINX. NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5. I think F5 is trying to implement those features in NGINX so they can improve the balancing on NGINX, but I think that will take some time. With the traditional F5 set up, the same OS can do load balancing, firewalls, and even policy enforcement. If we are able to bring some of those capabilities to NGINX, I think it would become a versatile solution and usage would definitely increase.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically."

"The most valuable features are the gateway and the ability to publish to sites."

"Zero Downtime has always been a strength in recommending infrastructure web services. NGINX allows me to execute such infrastructure with less complications and the ability to switch from server to server easily."

"The product is lightweight and fast."

"Supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy."

"NGINX Plus also has NGINX App Protect. It's a separate module, which is inspired by the F5 apps."

"The flexibility of its modules allow it to be scalable."

"Its versatility and capabilities make it invaluable for implementing patches and fixes when necessary."

More NGINX Plus pros

"This is a robust solution."

"The product is reliable."

"Scalability on the solution is great. It's very very easy to scale."

"A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database."

"It integrates various applications easily, provided there is a coder available."

"It integrates well with other solutions."

"Robust solution; console and enterprise management tools are really easy to work."

"What I've been seeing as the most valuable characteristics of WebLogic Suite include robustness and scalability. It's a really good solution, and I'm not saying this because my company is a partner of WebLogic Suite. I also like that with the newer versions of the solution, you can deploy WebLogic Suite faster. Oracle also provides excellent technical support."

More WebLogic Suite pros

Cons

"Lack of a feature to print data on the terminal for verification of network traffic during debugging and testing."

"The KPI should be more focused on load balancing and the latency in application calling from the end system."

"It would be great if there was even more automation to make it even easier to maintain."

"NGINX Plus is moderately priced, but it could give better value for money."

"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."

"I would suggest adding GUI-based configuration panels to NGINX Plus to simplify setup and management tasks."

"They should do in the open source version of what they did to Advanced HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing."

"The center management system could be improved."

More NGINX Plus cons

"The content search is not easy."

"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."

"The licensing for the solution is pretty expensive. It may be the most expensive solution, if you were to compare it to the competition."

"The support is not good."

"WebLogic requires a person with coding knowledge for easy configuration and quick integrations."

"I noticed a few areas for improvement in WebLogic Suite. If you use the pure play higher-availability features, then yes, it can be switched over to the other system from the high-availability point of view, but that comes with a certain price. If you prefer simpler high-availability, that requires manual intervention. I'd also recommend a tuning feature in WebLogic Suite because it's not self-tuning, and this means you need thorough expertise to do the tuning and leverage the best benefit out of it. If Oracle makes WebLogic Suite automated or self-driven, then it becomes a wonderful product, similar to what Oracle did for the Autonomous Database which is self-driven or has an autonomous operating system. If automation is added in the next release of the solution, combined with more affordable pricing, though as a technical person, I know how much goes into having automation as a feature, and it could be difficult to lower the price, but if Oracle can do it, then that would make WebLogic Suite better."

"Support could be better. The expertise when we have some Oracle WebLogic issues and challenges is not there. The issues are not being addressed in time. This really needs to be improved going forward."

"Sometimes there are issues when we work on a VM because people use it to put all of their reports on it at the same time. Then I have to restart and rebuild the machine."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other similar solutions on the market, I think it's over-priced."

"There's an open-source version of NGINX that is free."

"NGINX Plus is worth it, if you need it. If you do not need the features or support, the free and open source package is more than capable. "

"I am not so happy with their pricing policy, but this is not the worse thing in my life. I can tolerate it."

"The list price of NGINX Plus is close to $5,500."

"NGINX Plus is an open-source solution with limited additional features. When you try to get additional features in the solution, then you need to pay an extra amount to NGINX Plus."

"It's an open source solution, so it's free."

"You pay for each feature that you want."

More NGINX Plus pricing and cost advice

"The product comes bundled with Oracle Premier Support."

"The cost of the WebLogic Suite license is a bit high."

"There is a license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."

"Scaling is costly."

"Technical support is very costly."
