The Truth of NGINX Lacks of UI otherwise is great

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently we are doing assessment on NGINX Plus for our centralise APIGW it acts as a single entry point for applications or system, making it easier to manage traffic, enforce policies, and improve scalability and reliability of backend service.

Pros

  • APIGW
  • Policy Enforcement
  • Centrally Manage API Traffic

Cons

  • There is no User interface

Likelihood to Recommend

Currently from what we have experience there is limited UI for APIGW. I would suggestion F5 to look into Products such as APIGEE, Kong to learn about their UI

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our Tier 1 applications are all behind NGINX Plus - this includes Jira, Confluence, ADmanager, etc. It's been a great tool for access, speed and security wise. We first used Nginx and moved to NGINX Plus 3 years ago in order to get Support as well as the built in modules or advanced load balancing.

Pros

  • Ease of use
  • Secure access to our applications with allow lists
  • Fast changes

Cons

  • An AI bot would be cool to help build config files
  • More webinars for advanced NGINX Plus would be great
  • GUI tool... might already be one available

Likelihood to Recommend

Makes our life easy as application admins in securing our applications and making them accessible. We can easily add an application within a few minutes and define the backend servers right away.

Great product

  • Ease of use
  • Scalable

Cons

  • Monitoring through a centralized platform, I believe this is a new offering but it should've been part of the original offering

Likelihood to Recommend

NGINX Plus is well suited to a VM environment.

NGINX Plus For Livestreaming

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am using NGINX Plus as a livestreaming distribution model with publisher, worker and load balancer nodes.

We needed to deliver video content to all users in our organization.

Pros

  • Publishing
  • Ingest
  • Load-balancing

Cons

  • The Instance Manager setup is not that simple and would love to have it simplified (all required modules in that one single rpm file)
  • that adaptive bitrate is automatically configured
  • that easier telemetry and analytics can be done

Likelihood to Recommend

I think that NGINX Plus could be used in place of a hardware load balancer and it would be light weight and easier to configure than a hardware based load balancer but in terms of usability a GUI for said load balancer would definitely help in setting up

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are Using NGINX Plus for applications load balance, application performances. Most use cases are HTTP/s load balancing and TCP load balancing. We are satisfied with the product as of now. We are expanding our use cases with Nginx Plus by using NGINX Plus as a CDN. That is one of the main reason I am on this App World event. I found an event helpful and get familiar with F5 other product. Thanks!
