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)."The load balancing is one of the most valuable features."
"NetScaler Gateway: Why? Availability/Security: We delivered more than 200 applications thru Xenapp. This feature give us the possibility to deliver the applications anywhere. Currently, 30% of access is made through our NetScaler Gateway (Internet connections)."
"Content Redirection and SSO integration with Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop. The GUI was wonderful."
"The solution was very easy to deploy."
"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 most valuable feature of Citrix ADC is its ease of use."
"The maintenance of the solution is not complex."
"I find all of it to be valuable, because of the flexibility that is built into this product."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to deploy. The deployment took us ten minutes."
"Should offer more flexible cost-effective licensing for small to medium sized organizations."
"Finding relevant documentation for learning NetScaler can be challenging, especially for beginners who prefer a web interface over command-line interfaces."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Quality assurance could improve by ironing out security vulnerabilities before releasing upgrades."
"The WAF component needs to be simplified so that it is easier to use."
"We face challenges with the solution's firmware upgrades frequently."
"Improvements are needed to address the issue of machines becoming unregistered, ensuring stability for end users. Troubleshooting with Citrix support can be challenging, so clearer diagnostics would be beneficial. As for global server load balancing, it works well on-premises, depending on user volume and service stability. Overall, it's satisfactory for us."
"Development team's response time could be better."
"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.
