Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."One of the most valuable features of this solution is the server load balancing. Something that sets this solution apart from other products is that the hardware has a much higher capacity than other vendors. That's the edge of Array Networks. Their technical support services are also very good."
"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 solution is very stable. We don't have any downtime or issues of that nature."
"I would say the rewriting and redirection functions are must-have's for us."
"The most valuable feature of Citrix ADC is its ease of use."
"The web application firewall is one feature I found valuable in the solution."
"The solution is easy to work with and manage."
"Citrix Director has been great. It gives us one pane of glass to be able to monitor what's going on with the user sessions as well as to keep on top of the virtual desktops, any servers that may be offline or behaving suspiciously, or any troublesome spots like disconnections. We also use Citrix Studio for maintaining the actual servers that are hosting these applications. We use it for delivery groups in case we need to modify delivery groups in regards to which groups have access to which applications. It has been very helpful."
"Load balancing, cache redirection, content switching, all connected with traffic management."
"I would like to see more granular reporting and monitoring features, and I believe our clients want to see them as well. Also, SD-WAN would be a good addition."
"We would like the licensing model for this product to be improved, as it isn't currently very transparent. There isn't a standard package available, and each extra feature creates an additional cost."
"The only thing customers told me that could be improved is that they would like to be able to purchase and receive the products in one box, rather than two boxes. This is something related to marketing, though."
"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."
"Citrix should offer a demo or free-trial version of NetScaler. Several other vendors do, but Citrix does not. Pricing should also be more readily available."
"There are some features which are missing."
"Does not include security. A web application firewall would be a nice addition."
"Its GUI should be improved. Its CLI is powerful, but GUI needs more features."
