NGiNX
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.

Simple, light weight web server
What do you like best about the product?
Nginx is super simple to set up and it is lightning FAST!
If you ever run into an issue, there is a lot of support both on NGINX's site and also on Stackoverflow.

What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how different apache and nginx are. If you spend a long time using one product then try to port everything to a different web server, it can sometimes be difficult to translate between the syntax.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nginx has allowed our server to serve pages quicker and with less errors than other web servers out there.
We have realized the benefits of quick webpage serving, which in turn allows our team to be more efficient and get the information they need faster.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want a simple, lightweight web server, look no further. Nginx solves this problem with ease. Between nginx and apache, there is not much difference other than speed. nginx is FAST FAST FAST!
Fast, configurable, modular, and performant.
What do you like best about the product?
Nginx does what it does very well. It's very fast (I've used it just as a proxy server before), handles concurrency well, and is super configurable. At work, we spin up servers often and we want to be able to easily host multiple sites on a single server. By setting up localized nginx configurations, we can be up and running without having to hardly tweak the main server at all.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally there will be issues that are easily fixed by adding something to .htaccess. Since Nginx doesn't have that support, I have to find a workaround, but thus far that's the only thing I can find that I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it primarily as a proxy server to direct all our sites through. It's been incredibly easy to get up and running, even across multiple servers, and is a true pleasure to work with.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have never used Nginx and you're hesitant to throw it into a big project, try using it on a side project first. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
Nginx makes websites fast
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that it is much faster than Apache.
What do you dislike about the product?
A bit more to config than Apache, but that's okay because it makes it better at the same time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By speeding up websites. We use it as a proxy for static assets.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its great for caching and allows your sites to be much faster, gives you great flexibility and setup for your sever.
Faster Webserver Ever Used
What do you like best about the product?
High Performance and easy configuration through console. Very powerful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Compared to Apache there are not many third party managment tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy setup and hard customization.
Nginx review for small SaaS app
What do you like best about the product?
Speed. Using it as a front end proxy for Django WSGI server, I'm able to realize much better performance for concurrent sessions than a typical HTTPD setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. It's free, easy to set up, and does what I need it to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My business case has a lot of user downtime, with spikes of activity. Consequently, concurrent sessions is something I need to think about and this (plus a WSGI server+Django) lets me be less process-bound than if I were using HTTPD.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your experience is at all like mine, it'll probably be the most headache-free piece of your implementation.
The standard web server, for a reason
What do you like best about the product?
Using nginx is such an obvious thing in any environment that it is even hard to explain for people not familiar with it.
It is amazingly versatile for any kind of setup and I've been using it as a load balancer, a steamer, as a web application firewall. Even used it to fetch HTML directly from a memcache server with just a simple configuration file.

What do you dislike about the product?
While having the ability to do Apache style .htaccess configurations per directory would help people coming from that mentality. I don't necessarily see that as a good thing to have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Handling a lot of traffic with fewer hardware and being able to quickly adapt to different services and software behind the HTTP server.
I am setting up home server with docker and nginx
What do you like best about the product?
Easy and stable why if I configured then it will not give me headache and fast access to websites.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't know what I dislike maybe I should use more time to learn other sub function.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can do any things with Nginx performance and stable.
Solid and Reliable Proxy and Server
What do you like best about the product?
Nginx is very solid for my needs. I've never run into any trouble with it, even under higher loads. The ease of reloading configuration changes is a high point, as is the smart syntax of its configuration. In addition, since the configuration is very flexible, I've been able to easily configure SSL connections to meet the stringent encryption security requirements demanded by our customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't have as large a community as Apache HTTPd, and a lot of software assumes you're using that. This often means translating configuration to something compatible with nginx. The rewrite syntax is very different than that of mod_rewrite (for Apache HTTPd), and often cannot be transliterated directly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using nginx to offload SSL termination for a web application by reverse proxy. It also acts as a bit of protection from directly exposing the back-end HTTP server to the public. While acting as a load balancer, it makes it easy to cycle nodes out for upgrades and/or maintenance with minimal public disturbance, reducing the duration of scheduled maintenance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep in mind that my experience with nginx is primarily as a reverse proxy. For that purpose, it is a great tool. Using it as a load balancer, it is more configurable and handles better than a dedicated appliance like a NetScaler. Keep in mind that if you want some of the advanced features advertised like easy add and removal of nodes, you'll need the commercial Plus offering. If you're in need of those features, however, it's a great value.
Best application server out there!
What do you like best about the product?
Nginx is such a versatile application, it serves for a lot of purposes!
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that it allows so many possibilities, also make it challenging to tune in sometimes!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it as a reverse proxy for my apps, so that I don't have to expose my internal endpoints. Everything goes trough nginx.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it! It's agreat tool, very robust, very flexible and very stable!
