Easy to use ingress controller. We used it in Kubernates because of automation features it provides and configurability. Lately, we started to shift to another one (HAProxy) as the later seems to be more scalable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about F5 NGINX Controller?

Not as scalable as HAProxy. We decided to shift to that now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
