DIFFERENCES Comparison
SKUDONET Enterprise vs. NGINX Plus
NGINX Plus
Limited Advanced Features
Many essential security functionalities—such as the web application firewall (WAF) or SSO authentication—are not natively integrated but require add-ons, which add complexity and additional costs.
Licensing with scalable costs
Its subscription model can become expensive when scaling the infrastructure, especially in deployments with multiple instances or high availability needs.
Complex Interface
The configuration and maintenance of NGINX Plus require advanced command-line skills and file editing, which can hinder its adoption in multidisciplinary teams or those with limited resources.
Vendor-Dependent Model
While NGINX Plus is a powerful solution, its closed nature implies total vendor dependence for support, updates, or custom integrations, which limits flexibility in critical environments.
