Find out what your peers are saying about F5, Citrix, HAProxy and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)."We use the HDX protocol, a high-performing component of the Citrix solutions. We also use provisioning to generate VM and NetScaler ADC solutions to propose access to applications for our customers."
"The solution is very stable. We don't have any downtime or issues of that nature."
"The most valuable feature of Citrix NetScaler was the seamless integration. Additionally, the UI is good."
"SSL Offload"
"The load balancing and VPN features are most valuable. AAA authentication is also valuable."
"It is simple for both IT specialists and customers."
"The load balancing feature of this solution is very good."
"The flexibility in configuration options is impressive."
"It is the best product out there."
"We discussed problems with the network products with the Indian teams. The support center for network products is located in India. There are language barriers and issues with the time difference, so we sometimes face restrictions when dealing with this team."
"The solution could be more secure."
"Citrix ADC can improve if it provides a more user-friendly interface and clear working protocols. Citrix is not working with classic RFC, it is working with Citrix RFC, which is not common in the world. If engineers of Citrix can provide us with more information on working with the classic IP networks it would be a benefit."
"The technical support could be better. Whenever I contacted support, I rarely got the solution that we needed. And most of the time, I finished fixing the problem by looking on the internet or by finding documents about the problem on Google."
"The vendor provides frequent patches, however, the security of the website has room for improvement."
"The solution should be able to scale more effectively than it does."
"The GUI should be improved."
"I would like to see them make it easier to do some of the more complex things. For example, a web re-direct requires two pieces to it. You have two ports and when people want to go to a web page, they just type in the webpage that on the backend it will redirect them to a secure link. The initial setup of that is cumbersome because you have to do it twice. There are things that can be replicated. The IP address, for example, is the same. This change would go a long way. Don't make me do it twice and don't make me have to read tons of documentation to figure out how to do it. Ease of configuration for some of the more complex processes would be a good improvement."
"Integration with other third party providers and third party applications could be better because it can be a bit complex at present."
