I am a consultant and do not recommend specific products. I work with customers, and they decide what they want to buy. I'm a CISO as a service, dealing with security. I'm from an integrator company, and they usually sell a few products. One customer uses NetScaler for a VDI system with Citrix…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup of ExtremeAnalytics is straightforward and user-friendly."
"The application response latency is valuable and suitable for troubleshooting."
"The solution's scalability is a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of ExtremeAnalytics is wireless intrusion prevention."
"Enables a Web service that offers persistent client-server connections, IP restriction, URL rewrite (such as remove "/assets/" path from client-side URL path), and cache for CSS or JS files... You can easily use the GUI to set up all these requirements on the same network device within 20-30 minutes. (If you do the same steps on CLI, it might take less time.)"
"For NetScaler, our major use cases are database load balancing, PowerVPN VPN access gateway, WAF (Web Application Firewall), and content switching."
"It has helped them to increase application up-time, scalability, and enhanced application performance and security."
"The NetScaler appliance has provided a lot of customers with greater high availability for their enterprise applications within a single site and across multiple locations."
"The most valuable feature is load balancing."
"The most valuable features of Citrix ADC are load balancing and application firewall."
"The most valuable feature, absolutely, is its high-security."
"I prefer this solution because of its user-friendly interface. I find it simple and close to what I am currently using, which is Citrix Fortiva Access for Multi-Factor Authentication. I appreciate the familiar user interface and troubleshooting tools it offers."
 

Cons

"ExtremeAnalytics could improve application control. The URL filtering is not working properly. We have had issues with the reports and heat maps not working as expected. We have been receiving download errors when attempting to retrieve the heat maps and reports."
"There are issues with cloud distribution of the servers, and it could be faster."
"The solution's stability needs to be improved."
"Costly product and complicated licensing."
"But if they're consulting as an enterprise product and in a very large scale deployment enterprise, Citrix is not a complete solution."
"When it comes to all Citrix products, price is an issue, because all their products are complete solutions."
"The product could be improved by making it easier to use and easier to implement."
"The reporting is not so good. They don't have an application to connect the logs."
"Currently, it is not easy to use the configuration capabilities of the product."
"We face challenges with the solution's firmware upgrades frequently."
"The only thing customers told me that could be improved is that they would like to be able to purchase and receive the products in one box, rather than two boxes. This is something related to marketing, though."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is approximately $100 to $120 and is paid annually."
"The pricing is an eight out of ten."
"The tool is cheap."
"Ninety day free trial makes it easy to try out this solution."
"You can do CapEx and then a yearly monthly fee, or you can do a subscription model, whether that's one month, month-to-month, or three-year subscription model."
"After deployment, Citrix Netscaler shifted to a subscription-based license scheme for support, which is slightly more expensive."
"It is an enterprise solution. Thus, its costs are reasonable."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight or nine out of ten."
"The price for Citrix ADC here in Mexico was good, when you compare it with F5 and Radware."
"Citrix ADC could improve the price and make it less expensive, other competitors have a better prices. This would allow Citrix ADC to keep dominating the market."
