What do you like best about F5 NGINX?

Simple, easy-to-use, powerful HTTPS server. The load balancing is one of the best I've ever seen. I currently only use the free version, but it does everything I need it to do. It's lightweight and doesn't use many resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about F5 NGINX?

Nothing major comes to mind; I have yet to find a significant flaw or something I wish it did better. I do think it can take a long time to configure, and you will have to troubleshoot for sure, but that is normal with these types of products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about F5 NGINX?

Nginx is a powerful web server and a load balancer I like the most among other solutions. It is fast and highly flexible. I am using it with many plugins for the backend and frontend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about F5 NGINX?

Sometimes it is tough to configure it, and you need to have good experience to manage it properly. However, community and mail lists will help you in that, so it should not be a blocker for you, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about F5 NGINX?

The best feature of nginx is its reliability and simplicity. It's very easy to start - when it start it installs the default "pure html" website. It's compatible with all web-add-on on the market. And its free version is capable to provide all that developer needs. It forces developer to use best practices and do not leave major vulnerabilities.

Nginx is free and it was my choice to host all our websites. It has a huge popularity, so any question on Stack Overflow is answered immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about F5 NGINX?

It's documentation is not logically structured and contains "long sentences that does have much sense". It's probably was automatically translated from Russian language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
