What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The previous version was very stable and so far I haven't had any bugs or issues with the newer version. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The version we're currently using isn't as scalable as the previous one.

How are customer service and support?

I haven't used their technical support yet.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy and straightforward. After reading the documents provided, I was able to do everything myself. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We haven't looked at other solutions, because our client preferred Citrix NetScaler Unified Gateway, so we had to comply with that.

What other advice do I have?

On a scale from one to ten, I will rate this solution an eight. In the next version, I would like to see better configuration of repairs and downloading certification. Better exposure would also be a plus. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Helpful load balancing and verification features, but scalability and technical support need improvement
Pros and Cons
  • "Most of our customers are using the load balancing feature and also the verification feature is good as well, in my experience."
  • "If the solution had a more advanced DNS, it would be an improvement."

What is our primary use case?

We implement this solution for our customers.

What is most valuable?

Most of our customers are using the load balancing feature and the verification feature is good as well, in my experience.

What needs improvement?

The two-factor authentication solution needs improvement. It needs a multi-factor authentification.

Training videos would be helpful, and they're transitioning to a new portal, as far as I know. So the portal maybe has now improvements and they will provide for a larger community for the users and retailers. This will provide a more improved solution.

A forward proxy in the next release would be good, I think. If the solution had a more advanced DNS, it would be an improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability is fine, depending on what features you are using.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability is not good because they didn't change the solution. If you want to scale the product you have to install more and more appliances, and their solution technology is not good against the competition. We have less than ten thousand users.

How are customer service and technical support?

The technical support is fine. It's not the best, but fine.

What about the implementation team?

We are a reseller company, so we resell to our customers the product and we integrate it with other solutions.

What other advice do I have?

Most of the product is good, but we prefer F5's networks against Citrix.

I would rate this solution as six out of ten.

We use the solution for the control of application delivery.

All of the features are quite valuable, including the node balancing and gateway.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable. If I were to rate it out of ten, I would give stability a nine.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support is not good. I would rate them five out of ten.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very complex.

What about the implementation team?

You need the assistance of a consultant to implement the solution properly.
