One main advantage of Nginx over a web server like Apache is that Nginx does not set up a new process for each web request but rather the default configuration is to have one worker process per CPU. Nginx can also be used in various of scenarios like:

It can act as a reverse proxy server for TCP, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP protocols

It can act as a load balancer and an HTTP cache

It is very lightweight hence requires fewer resources / memory

Could be difficult to understand how to configure initially, but once you get the hang of it its pretty simple to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
