Find out in this report how the two Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One feature that works really well is the SSL VPN. It's very easy to set up and you can go very granular with it. You can define what user groups get what kind of access and the management overhead is very low."
"Content Redirection and SSO integration with Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop. The GUI was wonderful."
"Very stable."
"The load balancing and VPN features are most valuable. AAA authentication is also valuable."
"Citrix Netscaler makes it easy to provide services to end users, offering better visibility into user sessions compared to VMware. However, instability in network or machine can cause headaches as it's hard to pinpoint issues. SSL offload feature enhances security posture by providing secure connectivity between end users and backend systems. We use additional Azure remote security solutions for comprehensive protection."
"I like the monitoring ability as it enables me to identify when an internal (load-balanced) resource is having issues before it becomes a problem in production."
"We appreciate that this solution facilitates our access to Citrix internet."
"Citrix NetScaler offers robust security features, including SmartAccess and customizable policies, making it a reliable choice for safeguarding user data."

"Provides good performance and scalability."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Radware LinkProof for traffic distribution is its DNS management capability."

"In every release - and it doesn't matter if it's a minor release or a major release - they keep moving things around and they keep changing the mechanism. So certain things can work in one version one way, and everything works really well, then when you upgrade it to the next version, it breaks everything because they have a new way of doing it."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the user interface because sometimes it can be complicated."

"Currently, it is not easy to use the configuration capabilities of the product."
"I feel that Citrix NetScaler's customer support needs to improve."

"The technical support has room for improvement."
"The solution lacks HA configuration."
"Could have more customizations on the dashboard."
"There are certain features I would like to see in the next release."
