Pros and Cons
- "The initial setup is simple. Normally with all setups, it's not very complicated. It really depends on the customer."
- "I'd like to see support for reverse proxy and more security features."
What other advice do I have?
You don't have a very steep learning curve as you do with other vendors. In terms of manageability, I think it's easy, and there's also available some tools like Citrix ADM which facilitates all the operation. I would definitely recommend this solution. It's very straightforward and easy to use. can be used in a lot os use cases, from the pure traffic management, secure remote access to protecting critical web sites. There's also a wide and participative community using the solution, so the use case and issue you face probably is already "googlable". I would give this solution a nine out of…
Gary James
Owner at NovoLux Networks
Great performance, extremely stable, and scalable
What is our primary use case?
Our biggest, most consistent problem was renewing certificates. Otherwise, it works like it isn't even there. It's just a workhorse.Pros and Cons
- "Just creating that gateway to the storefront for Citrix is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us."
- "It's extremely complicated and it's not intuitive. The solution requires a lot of training to get going on it."
What other advice do I have?
I have a good deal of experience with Citrix. They're sitting on top of the heap as far as I can tell. It's not just clout and name recognition, but the actual product and actual performance delivery are stellar. They've got it set far as I know. We're using the latest version of the solution. I'd rate the solution a solid nine out of ten. It's a pain to set up, however, once you've got that sorted, it's an extremely solid product.
