Pros
"Our customers are more than satisfied with the user experience provided by the product."

More Airlock Pros →

"Citrix Web App API Protection allows you to enable a blocking mode""We have good customer support.""The web application firewall which protects our services on the internet, and then of course services like our ability to provide high availability for the services we are offering are the most valuable features.""The stability is good. If there is a problem, the load will be shifted to other sites automatically, which has been a good experience for us.""I like the solution's simplicity compared to Citrix's on-prem solutions.""When our primary link goes down I can still get to my Cisco devices and the NetScaler devices on-prem because of the SDN solution. If the internet connection at one of the branches goes down, we can still route them, they still get internet based on the SDN solution through one of the other sites. They can carry on working.""The solution's technical support is good.""I prefer this solution because of its user-friendly interface. I find it simple and close to what I am currently using, which is Citrix Fortiva Access for Multi-Factor Authentication. I appreciate the familiar user interface and troubleshooting tools it offers."

Cons
"The tool must be simplified."

More Airlock Cons →

"I am not an expert in this solution, but simplicity and user-friendly interfaces are crucial for me. I would appreciate advice from Citrix, particularly in the form of an interactive guide for API protection. It would be helpful if they could provide specific points and recommendations for cybersecurity, indicating areas that need attention or improvement. I find such interactive guidance valuable.""An area for improvement in Citrix Web App and API Protection is for it to give real-time notifications and alerts. It would be practical if the solution warns you if there's an attack or if the load or traffic volume increases or decreases. An additional feature I'd like to see in Citrix Web App and API Protection is a prediction or artificial intelligence on what is happening, for example, attacks.""Citrix Web App and API Protection could improve in the area of licensing""The user interface could be more friendly. Some wizards and other documentation for administrators, as well as some use cases, helps us to understand the solution.""The reporting is not so good. They don't have an application to connect the logs.""Security could be improved because then I can get rid of my Cisco firewalls. If they improve the security then I could run my security, my proxy, my firewalling and my SDN solution on one device instead of having to have multiple devices.""The configuration for its web application firewall is complicated.""The product could be improved by making it easier to use and easier to implement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "For partners, NetScaler is not as expensive price-wise versus F5."
  • "Citrix Web App and API Protection are in the middle when we talk about pricing and licensing"
  • "The pricing for Citrix Web App and API Protection is unreasonable. I don't know the exact price, but I heard it's tens of thousands and it's a bit too much for the small country I live in."
  • "The solution is expensive compared to one of its competitors."
  • "On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight or nine out of ten."
  • "I rate the pricing an eight out of ten since it is expensive."
  • "In Turkey, everything is good, but it seems expensive for us due to the currency exchange. I don't have a specific rating scale, but if I had to rate the price, I would say it's around a six out of ten."
