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 application response latency is valuable and suitable for troubleshooting."
"The most valuable feature of ExtremeAnalytics is wireless intrusion prevention."
"The initial setup of ExtremeAnalytics is straightforward and user-friendly."
"The solution's scalability is a ten out of ten."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution."
"It is a fantastic platform to work with and the features/functionality are top-notch."
"The web application firewalling component is a powerful feature."
"We appreciate that this solution facilitates our access to Citrix internet."
"It has helped us to increase the resiliency and performance of the application."
"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."
"Load balancing, cache redirection, content switching, all connected with traffic management."
 

Cons

"There are issues with cloud distribution of the servers, and it could be faster."
"ExtremeAnalytics could improve application control. The URL filtering is not working properly."
"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."
"The solution's stability needs to be improved."
"When a new version comes out, sometimes, my existing configuration gets wiped out."
"The setup for Citrix NetScaler has room for improvement. It could be easier."
"The WAF component needs to be simplified so that it is easier to use."
"The configuration is complex, and only one or two people know how to assist when problems arise."
"Some features of Citrix ADM are available on the cloud, which could really be helpful if they were available on an on-premise version."
"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."
"Currently, the support team's responsiveness is lacking, and the technical personnel on calls often seem unfamiliar with the issues or inadequately trained."
"In every release - and it doesn't matter if it's a minor release or a major release - they keep moving things around and they keep changing the mechanism. So certain things can work in one version one way, and everything works really well, then when you upgrade it to the next version, it breaks everything because they have a new way of doing it."
 

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."
"You get the value for your money. There aren't any hidden fees."
"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."
"Citrix ADM costs us approximately $5000 per month."
"The pricing for Citrix Web App and API Protection is unreasonable. I don't know the exact price, but I heard it's tens of thousands and it's a bit too much for the small country I live in."
"It's not for startups or SOHO."
"Costly product and complicated licensing."
"The licenses for this product are payable as a yearly subscription, and carry a high price-point. The subscription scheme is quite complicated, and costs will increase with each additional feature that is required, outside of the basic setup."
"For partners, NetScaler is not as expensive price-wise versus F5."
