Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Citrix Web App API Protection allows you to enable a blocking mode""I like the solution's simplicity compared to Citrix's on-prem solutions.""The solution's technical support is good.""The work balancing applications are the most valuable feature.""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.""We have good customer support.""The advantage of Citrix Web App and API Protection is just its graphic user interface for beginners. The solution is nothing special, but we have to use it for the corporation. Another advantage of Citrix Web App and API Protection is that we have our copy to test things and get the know-how of it."

Cons
"The configuration for its web application firewall is complicated.""Citrix Web App and API Protection could improve in the area of licensing""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.""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.""The reporting is not so good. They don't have an application to connect the logs.""The solution's pricing is a big concern and should be improved.""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 product could be improved by making it easier to use and easier to implement."

"There is a need for expanded licensing terms and options. There's also a need for improved and more agile customization features. The user needs to be able to manage each policy as required; the functionality needs to empower the user. There should be a complete suite of desktop provider policies available to users. Overall, it needs to be more user-friendly."

  • "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 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."
