NGINX VS RELIANOID ALTERNATIVE
CHOOSING THE IDEAL ADC PLATFORM IS VITAL. WE’RE HERE TO EQUIP YOU WITH THE BEST INSIGHTS
OVERVIEW
Nginx
Nginx is free and open-source software, released under the terms of the 2-clause BSD license. A large fraction of web servers use Nginx, often as a load balancer.
RELIANOID
RELIANOID® is an Application Delivery Controller and Load Balancer that ensures high performance and security of IT services on a massive scale.

NGINX & RELIANOID
Explore a Comparison of RELIANOID and NGINX Across Key ADC Capabilities.
Nginx’s Strengths
Customers have emphasized that the software is exceptionally cost-effective, with prices significantly lower than those of competitors.
Strong reputation and is highly favored among application developers, enjoying global deployment as a reverse proxy and high-performance web server.
Its feature set, pricing model, and roadmap are closely tailored to meet the requirements of developers.
Highly adaptable, offering support for Ruby, LUA, Perl, and various Linux-based automation capabilities.
RELIANOID’s Strengths
Expert and skilled R&D professionals accomplished in Zevenet and Zen Load Balancer, departing from an Open Source technology with no vendor lock-in and broad platforms integration (hardware, virtual, bare metal and cloud), bringing security, performance and readiness.
Cost-effective solutions with no constraints on products and services, tailored to the needs of midsize companies as well as large enterprises.
Protocol Versatility adapting and managing diverse network environments and protocols (UDP, TCP, HTTP/S, SCTP, SIP, T/FTP).
L7 and L4 Performance managing over 140K concurrent users at Layer 7, while at Layer 4, it efficiently handles more than 10 million concurrent users, all with just 2 dedicated cores.
High Availability witha automatic real time stateful cluster replication.
Security and WAF improved as it incorporates an Intrusion Prevention and Detection System (IPDS) and also an integrated Web Application Firewall (WAF). It actively safeguards web applications against specific threats while providing real-time IP blacklisting, Denial of Service (DoS) protection, and support for black and whitelisting.
User-friendly interface designed for both DevOps and SRE professionals, ensuring ease of use in managing and configuring systems.
Automation thanks to its fully programmable and robust REST+JSON API.
Nginx’s Weaknesses
Does not offer a ready-to-use hardware appliance.
Limited experience and a small user base in traditional, widely adopted enterprise settings.
Does not provide various commonly available features offered by established ADC providers.
Does not have a centralized system for managing multiple ADC instances..
Challenging commercial support when using traditional or legacy enterprise solutions.
RELIANOID’s Weaknesses
Emerging brand, challenging the ADC and Load Balancing market, operating as an open-source company.
Still in the process of building a significant presence. It must expand its partnership network more extensively.

Andre from DL Hosting
“For me and DL-Host, RELIANOID ADC Load Balancer simply makes life easier and is much more than just a load balancer. […] The best thing about it is really the Web Gui… No more dozens of config files that you have to edit on the console, no more errors because you forgot a comma. No more endless VPN connecting because you have to get somewhere via SSH. No, just do everything in the browser, log in and you’re good. […] Compared to the old solution (Nginx and HAProxy), I have found a solution that acts even faster, runs more stable and comes with functions for free that others only provide in paid versions.”

Migrating from Nginx Load balancer to RELIANOID ADC
Load balancing across multiple instances of an application is a great way to improve performance by reducing overload and latency, and increasing delivery by caching static resources.
Though Nginx serves a great purpose at web serving, the platform has lots of complexities. As traffic increases, it gets harder to load balance layer 4 and layer 7 traffic without sacrificing security. For this reason, you need a load balancer with more advanced features that offers control over a business application through an easy-to-access UI.
In this article, we will discuss how to transfer Nginx load balancer configurations to RELIANOID ADC.
