We performed a comparison between Citrix NetScaler, Loadbalancer.org, and Radware LinkProof based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."Easy, user-friendly setup with content switching and integrated caching features."
"Citrix NetScaler offers robust security features, including SmartAccess and customizable policies, making it a reliable choice for safeguarding user data."
"The web application firewall is one feature I found valuable in the solution."
"The solution is very stable."
"It is a complete solution for those looking for an all-in-one."
"I find all of it to be valuable, because of the flexibility that is built into this product."
"For desktop application management, I recommend the NetScaler edition. This product is like a Swiss army knife. Citrix NetScaler ADC supports the education front-end."
"The load balancing feature of this solution is very good."
"The load balancers have an easy installation and a relatively simple, easy user interface to use."
"The support we have received from Loadbalancer.org has been good."
"Existing customers are trying to migrate from the physical F5 load balancer to the AVI load balancer because it is scalable and easily managed."
"For now, it's stable."
"It's pretty much a Swiss Army knife for managing all the load balancing techniques."
"The performance is good."
"Most important for us that it makes sure that the load is distributed and that we always have access to the end servers."
"The connection that this solution helps our servers maintain has been most useful."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The performance and stability are the most valuable features."
"Provides good performance and scalability."
"The most valuable feature of Radware LinkProof is that it supports link load balance."
"The most valuable feature of Radware LinkProof for traffic distribution is its DNS management capability."
"We had some bugs in the previous firmware. These were not big issues, but more testing on the firmware would be key to happier customers."
"Integration with other third party providers and third party applications could be better because it can be a bit complex at present."
"There is room for improvement regarding the pricing policy for Citrix offices."
"Finding relevant documentation for learning NetScaler can be challenging, especially for beginners who prefer a web interface over command-line interfaces."
"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."
"The customization has always been a key area where some improvements are required. In the beginning, everything was for customizing the outer shell of it. You had to use the command-based utility and you had to do a lot of manual work. They have improved it a little bit and now there are some GUI-based functionalities that can be used. However, more can be done that doesn't require a lot of intervention. Right now there are some features, there are some customizations that can be done, but it's still very tedious, very cumbersome, a lot of work. So that could be simplified."
"It was challenging explaining to customers that it's no longer NetScaler but ADC, and now it's not just ADC but also the rebranding from NetScaler."
"Loadbalancer.org's complexity could be reduced."
"They're mostly designed to balance a particular type of traffic. I wanted to load balance DNS, and they just don't do it the way that we wanted to. So they're not used as DNS load balancers."
"We could enhance the security aspects of the load balancer."
"Compared to the physical products, the solution's throughput is a little less."
"I would like a notification when a new version of the software is available. They told me to sign up for their newsletter, but I have not received any notification for a newer software version."
"If I have to say something, I suppose they could add an automated configuration backup to an FTP location (or something similar) so you don’t have to manually do it. I don’t see this as a problem, of course, as the configuration rarely changes and we only need one backup, but maybe for other users that feature would be handy."
"The configuration is somewhat complicated. Someone who does not know the solution may find this challenging."
"The automatic refresh of the System Overview webpage: It sometimes has an extra webpage reload (after a change) before you see it is executed. This can be confusing."
"Could have more customizations on the dashboard."
"The solution lacks HA configuration."
"There are certain features I would like to see in the next release."
"Radware LinkProof's marketing efforts need improvement to raise awareness about its capabilities and compete effectively in the market."
"Radware LinkProof’s customer support could be improved."
