F5 BIG-IP vs NGINX for Web App Firewall?

I'm not really sure if this fits here or in a different forum, but I was curious whether folks have had any experience with these two in particular.

My research has yielded a lot of posts comparing the two for purposes of load balancing, but not a whole lot on Web Application Firewalls (WAF). My understanding is that WAF is accomplished through the use of extensions and add-on modules.

Besides the argument that F5 would be done at the hardware/infrastructure level vs NGINX at the software/commodity hardware level, are there any major differences in practice?

I appreciate any experiences that folks can share. This is my first post; sorry if I'm doing any of this in the wrong place. Thanks!!
