Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the server load balancing. Something that sets this solution apart from other products is that the hardware has a much higher capacity than other vendors. That's the edge of Array Networks. Their technical support services are also very good."
"Anyone considering Array APV should not hesitate to use the Array Network because it's very light and easy to deploy and the user interface is very easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature is the application delivery control, which includes server load balancing and global server load balancing."
"We have Citrix StoreFront to access everything from a remote desk, and we use it with Office 365 so that we can access Teams."
"With Netscaler, we have a solution divided in two data centers, a secure and unique point of access, and balanced traffic between all the critical components in the Citrix solutions."
"The best feature of Citrix is its track record of stability in its features."
"It is a fantastic platform to work with and the features/functionality are top-notch."
"I like the monitoring ability as it enables me to identify when an internal (load-balanced) resource is having issues before it becomes a problem in production."
"Deployment of NetScalers on our DMZ enables our organization to implement a secured gateway for our Web Portal, Inbound/Outbound application web service calls across our partners/clients, security, and Traffic Management."
"I cannot think of any features that should be added because the product has a lot of useful features already."
"Load Balancing and SSL offloading are key features."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more granular reporting and monitoring features, and I believe our clients want to see them as well. Also, SD-WAN would be a good addition."
"Technical support should be better."
"The solution's pricing is a big concern and should be improved."
"The setup was not simple."
"Citrix NetScaler has been recently acquired by another company and the support has been negatively impacted, the solution is at its end of life. The support for the solution could improve. The sales team needs to be improved."
"Native integration needs to be improved. You cannot build ISE codes natively. For DevOps, integration would be very helpful because it would be a lot simpler from an operational standpoint."
"Reducing the overhead required for AppFlow data collection, specifically for HDX Insight, would be a huge improvement."
"The solution is a bit more expensive than some of the available solutions in this region. One solution in particular that I noticed was cheaper was Kemp."
"It is difficult to customize. It is more difficult to customize than F5, for example."
"The policies on the NetScaler can be a bit tricky at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the price for Array APV is very competitive, and some of our clients are very satisfied when it comes to the price."
"Its price is comparable to others and affordable."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"F5 BIG-IP is much more expensive than Citrix ADC. For example, If we choose two platforms, Citrix ADC, 3000 version, and we choose F5, F4200 version. F5 BIG-IP has connections, timers, and throughput similar to Citrix ADC, but the price is very expensive."
"The pricing could be lower."
"It is very pricey, but we get it. If you need the best, money shouldn't be a problem."
"The client pays for the Citrix NetScaler license annually."
"Citrix ADM costs us approximately $5000 per month."
"We are quite happy with price. It's not too high."
