Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."We use the HDX protocol, a high-performing component of the Citrix solutions. We also use provisioning to generate VM and NetScaler ADC solutions to propose access to applications for our customers."
"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.)"
"The solution is very stable. We don't have any downtime or issues of that nature."
"Its customer support service is good."
"The most valuable feature of Citrix ADC is its ease of use."
"Scalability is great. One of the best features of NetScaler is that it can scale out."
"The load balancing and VPN features are most valuable. AAA authentication is also valuable."
"The solution improves security performance."
"The web application firewall is one feature I found valuable in the solution."
"We discussed problems with the network products with the Indian teams. The support center for network products is located in India. There are language barriers and issues with the time difference, so we sometimes face restrictions when dealing with this team."
"I would like to see multifactor authentication added to this solution to improve the security."
"The solution could be more secure."
"I will try to migrate all the tools to the cloud because there is more lab and more VPN scalability available in the cloud. It is not available on-premises."
"The tool needs to add a feature where we can access the network policy access manager."
"I think there is always room for improvement in this type of solutions. For example, I think the GUI should be easy to understand."
"The main areas for improvement would be around documentation and support. If a feature can be used in two or three ways, show that feature being used in all of those ways. Documentation seems to only cover the primary use case and leaves you to either run through trial and error or consult the user community. In terms of support, I have never actually had them solve any of my issues. I have always solved them myself and then provided the resolution to support."
"We face challenges with the solution's firmware upgrades frequently."
"Currently, the support team's responsiveness is lacking, and the technical personnel on calls often seem unfamiliar with the issues or inadequately trained."
