Citrix ADM needs to improve its additional features and reduce the communication ports. It should be directly integrated with the hybrid cloud environment. Currently, we use Windows Connect Now. If Citrix ADM collaborates with Microsoft Azure, we can directly deploy from AWS or the Azure console. I would like to add serverless computing to Citrix ADM. For example, if we separate Citrix Cloud Connector, the legacy environment is still required. We need different servers for Citrix hosts, VDA, Delivery Controller, and StoreFront. All these components can be combined into a larger single server unit. So, instead of getting ten servers for the same configuration, we can get a single server for two or three configurations. Reducing the number of servers will definitely reduce the cost. We need to buy or rent servers to use Citrix as a product. From a customer’s perspective, even if Citrix does not reduce its cost, these improvements can help us reduce our expenses.

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Jul 23, 2024

Valuable Features

NetScaler Console's most valuable features include its wide network accessibility, content filtering, security layer, application customization, robust analytics, ADM monitoring, periodic upgrades and backups, SSL dashboard for certificate management, ADM's policy implementation to enhance security, Delivery Controller's comprehensive management tasks, and Director's detailed session insights.

"An essential component is the Director, which provides detailed insights into sessions, including identifying session failures, connection issues, user lockouts, etc. It presents a list of problems to address, enabling you to click on them and resolve them efficiently."
"We use the product for load balancing and as a reverse proxy solution."
"The most impressive thing about Citrix ADM is that we don't encounter latency."

Room for Improvement

NetScaler Console needs a more flexible deployment process and simplified initials, better interface and training, and enhanced licensing models. The virtual and desktop license should be included in pricing, and learning content should be increased. The on-premise version should feature Citrix ADM's cloud capabilities and integrate with hybrid cloud environments. Server consolidation could reduce costs. Addressing pricing concerns and improving tech support training is necessary.

"Citrix is more expensive than Horizon."
"The tool's pricing is a pain point since we have many cheaper alternatives."
"Citrix ADM needs to improve on its additional features and reduce the communication ports."
