Citrix Gateway Initial Setup

SG
External Access Services Specialist at GlaxoSmithKline

The initial setup of Citrix Gateway is complex. I would rate the setup complexity a four out of five.

Deploying only takes one to two hours, but depending on the design, it can take longer. We need to get a lot of configuration details from the firewall and network team, which is time-consuming. The solution requires two people to deploy and maintain, however it is part of the whole Citrix package.

You have to properly deploy your hardware environment after that you can deploy the Gateway. This might affect the quick deployment of the Citrix Gateway. Hence, the deployment have dependency, it needs proper strategy and planning.

The initial setup was complex; it was not straightforward.

The deployment takes about one to two hours.

It's a very feature-rich device. You have to dial into the specifics of what you want to use. It's like a Swiss army knife. It's got a thousand different uses and you only have one or two that you want to use it for. You have figure out just how to set up for those one or two uses.

The initial setup is not straightforward. Training is required and you do need to be certified before deployment. I suppose if you read lots of manuals and documentation, you could get it up and running, but it does help if you've had the training. 

The deployment took us about one week. There were lots of firewall rules that had to be followed, along with set-up configurations that had to be completed.

The initial setup is straightforward based on your skill level. That is, if you're not familiar with Citrix, it won't be straightforward. If you are, it will be straightforward.

The actual deployment took two to four weeks.

Basic setup to have a ADC up and running is very simple, but integrating really depends on the customer environment and objectives.
We have customers that use it for everything, that can have more complexity so it depends on the environment.

I would say that generally, it's not complicated. You don't have to learn a specific language, or go very deep on a CLI.  It's not a big deal.

Information Security Officer at Zamil

The initial setup was very easy and we were able to fully deploy it, test it, and have all the applications migrated within a week. So, there's no major issue there.

The deployment strategy is very simple. We created just the domain IP. During migration, we reconfigured the replica of the current network solution, and we made the same verification in the NetScaler with the domain IP address. After the migration, we just stopped the F5 solution and enabled it on the NetScaler. So, the whole migration does not take even one minute of downtime.

The initial setup is quite straightforward because we have been using it for some time. We did experience some setup issues, which were mostly related to misconfiguration.

The time for deployment is perhaps a week or less.
