We performed a comparison between Citrix NetScaler and Ivanti Virtual Web Application Firewall based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."We use the solution's IP Reputation and bot protection features."
"From a security standpoint, It is a comprehensive solution in a single box."
"Its customer support service is good."
"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.)"
"It is a very stable solution."
"Manageability and visibility are good."
"We appreciate that this solution facilitates our access to Citrix internet."
"What I like most about Citrix NetScaler is its stability, and I didn't see a lot of issues with it."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."
"Finding relevant documentation for learning NetScaler can be challenging, especially for beginners who prefer a web interface over command-line interfaces."
"There are some features which are missing."
"Technical support sometimes takes a little longer because of the multilevel ticket priority."
"Citrix ADC is a complex product, and it takes time to understand these things. But the documentation is poor, and the deployment is difficult. Integration could also be better because what I find is that you cannot easily integrate the panel in the second sector. What I have found is that in the last index, there is a limitation when getting validated. Technical support could also be better."
"Development team's response time could be better."
"They can improve the scalability and the multi-tenancy feature. We recently tried to configure an authentication, and we ran into some issues while using the web-based GUI. It was very slow when you log in with your credentials in the web-based GUI. Each time we clicked on the menu, it tried to do the authentication. It works properly in the console."
"Scripting and writing expressions need to be improved by putting logic behind the rules and improve policies involving some of the scripting part, which is a tedious task to do."
"I would like to see more integration for single sign-on."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the price could be lowered. We've tried to deploy more of them but our purchasing department has said that they're way too expensive and they would prefer to use something else."

Hi,
If you are thinking about a combined solution for your ADC/WAF/LB and other security features you should check out Radware’s portfolio.
Radware a market leader in the ADC and DDOS protection industries and a Gartner leader in all of our product lines.
Our ADC solution has the most comprehensive capabilities and features limited only to Radware.
We were the first vendor to introduce a “ pay –as – you – grow” license and same goes with VA a separated virtual appliance on top of the Alteon platform.
In addition we also have the dynamic license model which unlike the competition works for both our physical platforms and the virtual once together.
We are the only vendor that allows single license for all form factors, A single GEL license can be used across all form factors: HW (vADCs) and VAs.
GEL’s license server can be deployed locally for enhanced security. Our HW platforms can be sold in a subscription model, while the completion will have to sell the platforms CAPEX model.
One of the key features for us is with GEL , when a platform is decommissioned, all of it’s capacity can be transitioned and used in VAs or in the cloud, with the competition you will loose its capacity forever.
With our offering you can also go for a throughput license that will be distributed between all of your Alteon physical appliance and virtual once no matter where they are.
Our “Secure” licensing model will allow you to spin up virtual instances to each one of your applications and enable security features on them like SSL inspection, WAF, Ip-reputation, URL-filtering and many more.
Let me know if I can assist further,
Vadim
You should consider A10 Networks' FlexPool.
www.a10networks.com
FlexPool provides a centralized bandwidth pool for virtual ADC and Converged Firewall (ADC with added security features) platforms. Users can allocate the total capacity into instances of essentially any size. These instances can simultaneously reside on-premise, public, private or hybrid clouds. Only one license to manage.
My thought would be Barracuda Cloud WAF. This will work in 15 min. With lb and default templates. Go to demo.Barracuda.com
Select WAF for hardware or select cloud. Additional info ask if needed
As far as I know, Netscaler has special hardware solution SDX where you can run virtual appliance (VPX) so much as you need and license determines the total system performance. It's not a problem for scaling virtual appliance by each application. You can ask Citrix managers for details. I hope it will be helpful.
