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 of DataMiner is its comprehensiveness. It provides an open driver that allows you to customize and program each aspect of the system. Additionally, there are many separate modules available that can be used to enhance the system's capabilities beyond just monitoring, allowing you to manage your entire workflow. This is a valuable feature that makes troubleshooting easier and helps to optimize the use of the system."
"The solution is user-friendly and is readily customizable, which allows us to do control and monitoring in a single stage."
"Data Miner allows you to take control. It has an API to talk to different products, including drivers to talk to the APIs of third-party products. You can control it from the screen."
"SSL Offload"
"Compared to other solutions, Citrix ADC is much more robust in terms of the native integration to cloud platforms. It is far more robust from an operational point of view as well."
"This solution increases the backend network service performance, which is one of the things that we like the most."
"Available on any device and can be accessed on a wide area network."
"We have good customer support."
"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 filtering, security layer, and application customization features are the most valuable."
"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."
 

Cons

"I am looking forward to the company continuing to improve its solution and incorporate new technologies. Specifically, I hope that they will allow their cloud database environment to host services, rather than requiring the use of on-premises digital or physical servers. The company is moving in this direction, but I am still waiting for this capability to be implemented."
"We would like to have more products supported by the drivers because there are so many products out there. If DataMiner has not built the drivers to support them we can not control them, we can only see them based on SNMP. If more drivers are included, it won't cost us if we have new products."
"If one device or switch fails, the failover to another device is not seamless which is painful."
"Mastering it requires significant learning and training due to its complexity."
"Too many bugs in the software and it's always difficult when you need to update."
"Citrix ADC is a complex product, and it takes time to understand these things. But the documentation is poor, and the deployment is difficult. Integration could also be better because what I find is that you cannot easily integrate the panel in the second sector. What I have found is that in the last index, there is a limitation when getting validated. Technical support could also be better."
"There is room for improvement regarding the pricing policy for Citrix offices."
"The SLB could be better, and they should improve it."
"The only thing customers told me that could be improved is that they would like to be able to purchase and receive the products in one box, rather than two boxes. This is something related to marketing, though."
"I would like to enhance the solution's bot protection features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"DataMiner is an expensive solution and that is why many companies do not use it. Other solutions are less expensive."
"When compared to other solutions, the cost is high."
"I do not have any experience with the pricing of the product."
"It is an enterprise solution. Thus, its costs are reasonable."
"Citrix NetScaler's pricing is slightly above average but not overly expensive. I would consider F5 BIG IP to be the most expensive, Citrix NetScaler to be the second most expensive, and then Kemp Load Balancer to be the third."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
"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."
"The solution is undoubtedly very good, but it is expensive."
"The license for Citrix NetScaler is on an annual basis and it is reasonably priced."
