Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the application delivery control, which includes server load balancing and global server load balancing."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the server load balancing. Something that sets this solution apart from other products is that the hardware has a much higher capacity than other vendors. That's the edge of Array Networks. Their technical support services are also very good."
"The solution is extremely stable."
"The load balancing is one of the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of Citrix NetScaler was the seamless integration. Additionally, the UI is good."
"The most valuable feature for us is the application firewalling in Citrix NetScaler, ensuring only valid traffic enters our 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.)"
"The most valuable feature is the SSL VPN."
"NetScaler Gateway: Why? Availability/Security: We delivered more than 200 applications thru Xenapp. This feature give us the possibility to deliver the applications anywhere. Currently, 30% of access is made through our NetScaler Gateway (Internet connections)."
"Global load balancing between data centers."
More NetScaler pros
 

Cons

"Technical support should be better."
"I would like to see more granular reporting and monitoring features, and I believe our clients want to see them as well. Also, SD-WAN would be a good addition."
"We would like to see some fairly large scale improvement in the configuration process for this solution."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the user interface because sometimes it can be complicated."
"Needs configuration processes like disabling LB VIPs, automatically disabling the IPs used."
"The tool's pricing is a pain point since we have many cheaper alternatives."
"The solution should be able to scale more effectively than it does."
"I would like to enhance the solution's bot protection features."
"Its GUI should be improved. Its CLI is powerful, but GUI needs more features."
"We would like the licensing model for this product to be improved, as it isn't currently very transparent. There isn't a standard package available, and each extra feature creates an additional cost."
More NetScaler cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the price for Array APV is very competitive, and some of our clients are very satisfied when it comes to the price."
"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."
"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten since it is expensive."
"F5 BIG-IP is much more expensive than Citrix ADC. For example, If we choose two platforms, Citrix ADC, 3000 version, and we choose F5, F4200 version. F5 BIG-IP has connections, timers, and throughput similar to Citrix ADC, but the price is very expensive."
"You can do CapEx and then a yearly monthly fee, or you can do a subscription model, whether that's one month, month-to-month, or three-year subscription model."
"It's not for startups or SOHO."
"I do not have any experience with the pricing of the product."
"The tool is cheap."

Overview

Array’s APV Series provides the availability, scalability, performance, security and control to keep applications and servers running optimally. Local and global server load balancing, as well as link load balancing, ensure the highest levels of resiliency for your applications, while connection multiplexing, SSL intercept and SSL offload, caching and compression work together to deliver the fastest end-user experience possible. Array ADCs are available as physical or virtual appliances, or on popular public clouds.

One platform for a consistent application delivery and security experience because nobody has time to learn multiple systems to manage ADC deployments. NetScaler is built with a single code base using a software-based architecture, so no matter which ADC form factor you choose — hardware, virtual machine, bare metal, or container — the behavior will be the same.
