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.

Cons

"It would be good if NGINX provided a graphical user interface."

"The scalability could be improved."

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

"The biggest room for improvement would be to allow NGINX Core machines to cluster for memory zones in some way with a plug and play module. "

"If NGINX brings some features for health check in the open source version, it would be better. "

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

"NGINX is a very basic load balancer and cannot do as many customizations as F5."

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

More NGINX Plus cons

"The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."

"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."

"The solution needs to share more information in terms of training. There needs to be more documentation involved to help those who are completely new to the product."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Nginx is free. I don't have experience with the Plus version."

"You pay for each feature that you want."

"The cost is reasonable."

"HAProxy is cheaper than NGINX."
