Cons
Appsmith
  • UI could be more responsive. Its bit hassle to create a UI which would fit mobile devices.
  • If there are multiple UI blocks it gets cumbersome to adjust their size and appearance as you have to do it one by one.

We had an issue after upgrading from RHEL 7 to 8, and there were some issues that the security team imposed upon the platform with a scanning tool. We also had a VXLAN environment that was not properly sending a gratuitous arp to the network. NGINX support was instrumental to speedily resolving our issue.

The API and dashboard alone make NGINX Plus a better choice.

  • We are planning by using NGINX it can greatly reduce our OPEX by 50% "just our own running APIGW" the cascading effects in the long run will be much more.
