NetScaler and Microsoft Azure Application Gateway compete in application delivery and load balancing. NetScaler is favored for cost-effectiveness, while Azure is recognized for its enhanced features, making each a strong choice based on different needs.
Features:NetScaler offers comprehensive traffic management, detailed monitoring, and cost-effectiveness. Azure Application Gateway provides seamless integration with Azure services, robust security features, and enriched capabilities in cloud environments.
Room for Improvement:NetScaler could improve flexibility, cloud support, and enhance scalability. Azure Application Gateway needs better documentation, more intuitive configuration, and streamlined setup processes.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service:NetScaler is known for straightforward deployment and reliable support. Azure Deployment is more complex due to extensive features but benefits from its broader ecosystem. Both work on improving customer service.
Pricing and ROI:NetScaler is considered competitively priced, delivering good ROI in traditional environments. Azure Application Gateway incurs higher setup costs but is seen as providing long-term benefits in cloud scenarios.
Azure Application Gateway is a web traffic load balancer that enables you to manage traffic to your web applications. Traditional load balancers operate at the transport layer (OSI layer 4 - TCP and UDP) and route traffic based on source IP address and port, to a destination IP address and port.

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.
We monitor all Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
