NGINX Erfahrungen

The best for web servers

Vorteile:

Excellent tool, to combine it with virtualized servers with virtual box. My team and I specialized in ubuntu server and nginx virtualized servers to create our development and testing environments. It is comfortable and easy to work with, its handling of clean URLs is very easy.

Nachteile:

It is a very complete and robust tool that from time to time is difficult to learn for those who have little experience in configuring web servers, but once learned a developer will not want to change it.

A Great server for modern applications

Kommentare: A Great Server for Modern applications, I was surprised at what it could handle.

Vorteile:

I loved the fact that I could use with Node.js, React.js and other modern libraries/frameworks.

Nachteile:

The learning curve is a bit steep, but once you get going it's very user friendly.

Nginx (free) > Nginx PLUS

Vorteile:

The only pro I can pull out of PLUS is their stats dashboard and the fact you pay and get support.

Nachteile:

I find the free version of Nginx is much better and has all the same modules available, minus the support (which you can find most issues for free on the internet, probably)

I dunno, it just has that 'something'.

Kommentare: Something about Nginx feels qualitatively 'better' than Apache. I know that's subjective, but that sort of thing matters when you have to manage a flotilla of Nginx instances in your daily work. The configuration files just make sense to me in a way that Apache config files never did. The config language is very expressive and lean. It's a versatile server; you can use it as an application proxy, a reverse caching proxy, a forward proxy, and of course a plain ol' web server. (Disclaimer: I've only ever used the open source Nginx, but the commercial version has some very compelling features that I know I've wished I could use.)

Vorteile:

Simple configuration, lots of features, speed, and reverse proxying. Most important, it just 'feels better' than alternatives.

Nachteile:

Support for meta-config could be better: when sharing templates among vhosts, the limitations of how you can use variables are a surprise.

NGiNX

Kommentare: We benefit by using NGinX as our primary development web server that points traffic to the correct corresponding service base on hostname. This allows development to easily work on multiple projects with multiple languages and/or versions simultaneously.

Vorteile:

My team uses NGinX for configuring our development servers and locations, using variables, rewriting URIs to redirect to the appropriate service based on hostname. NGinX makes this process light and easy. We develop multiple different sites and services. NGinX is lightweight and you can be up and running quickly. It does everything I need as a web server and I really have no complaints so far.

Nachteile:

NGinX is really for high level server admins. I can be complex because all the configurations are text based files and if you do not understand what you are doing it will cause issues.

Best in-class web server and proxy

Vorteile:

Nginx Plus stands out for its exceptional performance and scalability, efficient SSL offload capabilities, flexible content routing for optimized resource allocation, and support for a wide range of predefined protocols, making it a valuable choice for enhancing web application delivery, security, and flexibility.The dashboards and the API are great as wekk.

Nachteile:

Considering the nature of the product and the alternatives, I can't find any negative.

NGINX Plus is A Versatile and Powerful Solution for Load Balancing and Traffic Management

Kommentare: NGINX Plus is a highly capable and reliable web server and reverses proxy that provides many benefits for web developers and system administrators. It's fast and highly performant.

Vorteile:

NGINX Plus provides a range of security features, such as SSL/TLS encryption and authentication, that can help organizations protect their web applications from attacks and vulnerabilities.

Nachteile:

There is little to dislike about NGINX, except for its platform latency.

NGINX Plus - Excellent LoadBalancer

Kommentare: The option to loadbalance processes of all different kinds makes NGINX+ a valuable tool for us.

Vorteile:

NGINX+ works great both if you want to loadbalance incoming Ecommerce orders across multiple Ecommerce server instances or want to load balance ERP user sessions for all your users scattered around the country.

Nachteile:

Disabling and enabling instances can get a bit tedious. Would be great to save disable or enable tasks fir repetitive uses.

NGINX Plus gets the job done

Vorteile:

Nginx is one of the fastest web servers out there, easy to configure and manage. Nginx Plus REST API plus healthcheck APIs makes everything easier

Nachteile:

Nothing so far in my opinion. I love it

great web engine for multiples purposes.

Kommentare: Great stability and security.

Vorteile:

The easy install and the flexibility of the configuration styles, is one of the most secure engine at the marked.

Nachteile:

it would be nice to have a more optional modules already integrate at the default installer,for example like another flavor of installer, at least with the most used modules.

Balanceo de carga con NGINX Plus

Kommentare: Estoy trabajando con NGINX Plus para balancear varias aplicaciones, cada una de ellas con distintos protocolos, desde HTTP, hasta SNMP, y al conocer como configurar un protocolo, hacerlo con los demás es más sencillo, pues el procedimiento es similar.

Vorteile:

La forma de implementar es muy sencilla, con configurar un par de archivos, ya puedes estar balanceando el protocolo HTTP, con distintos esquemas de balanceo, dependiendo de las necesidades que se tienen, además que esta versión ya te permite tener en esquema de alta disponibilidad al NGINX Plus, y se sincroniza en automático.

Nachteile:

En el caso de usar como proxy el NGINX, se requiere de más ejemplos de cómo configurar el protocolo HTTPS, como usar los certificados y también los tokens, hay muchos escenarios que requieren de parámetros específicos y considero que los ejemplos es la mejor forma de aprender cómo hacerlo.

mobile API gateways done right

Vorteile:

ease of use of Api implemented in Restful service. From c# code to exposed services i can use android studio (java) and make use of the endpoints. Load balancing is also sorted via nginx. Nginx is an already with security as well as api cannot be sniffed over the network. Theyre excrypted. deploying an app to our UAT/Beta environment replicates a real world scenario.

Nachteile:

There is a huge learning curve when you have to intregrate into another layer but once set up it is easy to re-use. Every new person that has come onto the team has struggled to set up but internal documentation has been created to set up internally for Android SDK.

Better than Nginx

Kommentare: NGINX Plus has been an overall pleasant experience. The feature I use most is the healthchecks for services.

Vorteile:

I really enjoy that NGINX Plus improves upon already existing open-source solution NGINX. It's all the features of the open-source version, plus more. It acts as a very good load balancer, caching solution, and as a monitor.

Nachteile:

Unfortunately, the NGINX Plus can be extremely expensive, ranging in the thousands of dollars. If this sounds too expensive for you, using simply NGINX is probably a better plan.

A great option to create scalable applications

Vorteile:

The fact that it is build on top of Nginx is already a big plus, however even better is the fact that Nginx Plus supports session persistent and can help you to improve the user experience.

Nachteile:

At first, it may be quite challenging to understand how all the pieces fit together.

Reliable and secure web server

Kommentare: Great performance, reliability, and security at a great price.

Vorteile:

nginx has been rock solid and a stellar performer. I moved to nginx from apache (which worked fine) and prefer the configuration syntax as well.

Nachteile:

It can have a learning curve and there's less support available as compared to other industry leaders likes Apache and IIS.

Review for NGINX Plus

Kommentare: The software have a great customer support.

Vorteile:

Cloud native, easy to use reverse proxy.

Nachteile:

Time to deploy the server is relatively short, but some settings are confused for starters.

Great LB/WAF stack for Nginx

Vorteile:

It has a lot of great features built in, and made to work with existing Nginx installations

Nachteile:

While Nginx is free, Nginx plus is not. There are other FOSS alternatives available.

Reliable web server and reverse proxy

Kommentare: We use Nginx Plus as a reverse proxy for lots of internal tools we deploy, among other use cases. It's been very reliable. Overall, we've had a very productive experience using it.

Vorteile:

I like how reliable Nginx Plus is. We use it mostly as a reverse proxy. It's very fast and efficient.

Nachteile:

I don't have anything I dislike about Nginx Plus.

Best feature is load balancing

Vorteile:

The load balancing is easy for non-technical users to understand and set up.

Nachteile:

Depending on the server setup, the premium Nginx plus features like load balancing may not be necessary. For example, if you have online one site on a server.
