Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We have good customer support.""I like the solution's simplicity compared to Citrix's on-prem solutions.""The work balancing applications are the most valuable feature.""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.""The solution's technical support is good.""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 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"

Cons
"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.""Citrix Web App and API Protection could improve in the area of licensing""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.""Their upgrades are not very backward compatible, and sometimes they mess up.""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.""The configuration for its web application firewall is complicated."
