Overall Satisfaction with NGINX

We used it to allow our internal applications to be accessed by the Internet, this allows the application to be securely accessed through public networks since we secure the https access through public certificated issued by our organization. It simplifies the management of apps published to the Internet.
  • Secure application access.
  • Easy to implement.
  • OS flexibility.
  • Configuration management
  • Automatic updates
  • Proxy reverse
  • Load balance
  • Managing incomming traffic.
  • Low cost by using the open server version
  • Simplified implementation saves money with professional services.
  • Secure plattform helps the company to be protected from threats.
NGINX have higher market share which obviously show to us it is the preferred choice of most of the customers. Both of platform competes in the Web and Application server areas, but due the security features of NGINX be more flexible this in my opinion makes more sense.

No

Did implementation of NGINX go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy NGINX again?

Yes

Well served as a proxy reverse, we implemented in our environment to secure access by not exposing the app server directly to the Internet. As the product is really oriented, I don't see where it could be less oriented for. I think is well suited for load balancing the application access through proxy reverse, but this feature I haven't tested yet.
