Airlock vs NetScaler comparison

"Our customers are more than satisfied with the user experience provided by the product."

"I find all of it to be valuable, because of the flexibility that is built into this product."

"The most valuable features are for the ADMs and the overall monitoring environment."

"Enables a Web service that offers persistent client-server connections, IP restriction, URL rewrite (such as remove "/assets/" path from client-side URL path), and cache for CSS or JS files... You can easily use the GUI to set up all these requirements on the same network device within 20-30 minutes. (If you do the same steps on CLI, it might take less time.)"

"Content Switching provides flexibility for routing traffic as desired to designated real servers. It also provides good geo capabilities through its GSLB feature."

"The load balancing feature and the fact that you can do context switching in the WAF are the most valuable. We majorly use it for load balancing, but we also use it for context switching in the WAF. It is also robust and very easy to work with and manage."

"It is the best product out there."

"The solution is very stable."

"The feature that I have found most valuable is its load balancing."

"The tool must be simplified."

"Scripting and writing expressions need to be improved by putting logic behind the rules and improve policies involving some of the scripting part, which is a tedious task to do."

"Deployment is complicated."

"The tool needs to add a feature where we can access the network policy access manager."

"We had some bugs in the previous firmware. These were not big issues, but more testing on the firmware would be key to happier customers."

"The GUI should be improved."

"Their upgrades are not very backward compatible, and sometimes they mess up."

"It can be difficult to setup."

"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."

"The tool is cheap."

"Regarding pricing, while it's expensive, I can't comment on the exact ROI without a budget analysis. However, in terms of service quality, it's worth the price."

"It is true that it is a bit pricey compared to newer technologies coming to the market. For example, A10 is a load balancer that does everything that Citrix can and it does a lot more than what NetScaler does when it comes to the security space, and their prices are so cheap. Every box comes with its own license and support built into it. When you compare that with NetScaler, you have to buy licenses separately, you have to buy a support agreement that is going to be separate. A small NetScaler, even if it is a VPX which is a virtual server, could cost you close to $150,000 to $200,000 dollars. So the pricing is really high."

"The price for Citrix ADC here in Mexico was good, when you compare it with F5 and Radware."

"It's an expensive product but it works well."

"Its licensing cost is much higher than other products, but it is acceptable because it is a one-time investment, and we are getting our requirements fulfilled when we buy this product. So, there is no issue with the pricing."

"NetScaler does the same thing as an F5 and it's cheaper."

"Price-wise, I feel that the solution is a little bit expensive."

"I do not have any experience with the pricing of the product."
