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

"The best solution, by far, for web traffic control for things in production and just around the house."

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

"I find the solution’s community support and documentation most valuable. Compared to HAProxy, have found a lot of documentation and community support on Quora. If you would be asking me as a developer whether to choose this product, I would recommend this since it has good community support, documentation, and signature updates. The configuration of HAProxy is also very tedious. However, NGINX’s configuration is very simple."

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

"Using NGINX Plus for web traffic distribution is fantastic. It offers performance similar to physical load balancers but with added flexibility."

"When I worked in a security research center, we tested NGINX to support DoS and DDoS attacks, and its results were great."

"I think installation only took a couple of minutes — no more than 10 minutes."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is simple to configure."

More NGINX Plus pros

"The feature that I have found to be the most valuable is the ease of deployment."

"The most valuable feature of WebLogic is it has excellent performance and stability compared to the previous solution we used."

"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."

"The product is reliable."

"WebLogic Suite is scalable."

"The solution is useful for centralizing data."

"WebLogic Suite provides a stable application server experience."

"The solution is very scalable. It's easy to add processes even if you are new to the solution."

More WebLogic Suite pros

Cons

"The drawback is that you must obtain a license for everything."

"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."

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

"The user interface could be improved."

"The center management system could be improved."

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

"I would like to see the Grafana integration in NGINX which is already present in HAProxy. Grafana integration will help the solution visualize all the data analytics on the dashboard which is currently not present."

"The scaling should be built into the software rather than configured from an outside source."

More NGINX Plus cons

"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."

"There are sometimes issues with clusters."

"I think the support could be much better."

"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of a ripple start function for clusters."

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

"The content search is not easy."

"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."

"This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"NGINX is a free tool in Brazil. There are some companies which do support it."

"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. "

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

"The cost is reasonable."

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

"I use the solution's community edition which is free of cost."

"HAProxy is cheaper than NGINX."

"The price is the cost to contract support with a specialized company, usually during consulting hours."

More NGINX Plus pricing and cost advice

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

"The product comes bundled with Oracle Premier Support."

"Scaling is costly."

"Technical support is very costly."

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