NetScaler Reviews

Citrix ADC is primarily used for load balancing exchange and other internal IT systems.

It is simple for both IT specialists and customers. With other products, we cannot leave the customer untrained. We can leave the customer during the early stages using Citrix ADC.

The stability of Citrix ADC needs to be improved.

The technical support could be improved. They do not respond or assist customers in a timely manner.

I have been working with Citrix ADC for approximately eight years.

It is typically deployed on-premises, but it is occasionally deployed on a hybrid cloud.

There have been many crashes since the last build.

Citrix ADC is easy to scale.

Technical support is different in every situation. In one case it went very well and quickly other cases it took longer.

Technical support could improve, but it is possible that my issue was complicated.

I am also working with F5, Kemp, Barracuda, Cisco, and NGINX.

Loadbalancer.org is less complex than Citrix. In some cases, our customers do not have an engineer on staff who can support this device.

These customers have a large number of Linux engineers but don't have the money. We suggested using Loadbalancer.org and other open-source tools. Many customers are of different sizes and have different budgets.

The installation is simple for both manual configuration and automatic deployment.

Our company is partners with Citrix and F5 BIG-IP.

I would rate Citrix ADC an eight out of ten.

This solution acts as my web server, web application server, firewall, and load balancer. I also use it for IPSec 4 to IPSec 6 conversion.

The most valuable feature is load balancing. This solution will do both global and local load balancing.

The WAF features are very helpful.

The WAF component needs to be simplified so that it is easier to use.

In the next release, I would like to see more firewall policy support.

I have been using Citrix NetScaler VPX for about five years.

There are a few bugs here and there, but technical support has been able to assist with them.

This solution is easy to scale if we have up to ten servers, but much higher and we need to use a different level of license. It is a little bit expensive.

We have approximately 2,000 users.

I am quite satisfied with the technical support.

We did not use another solution prior to this one.

The initial setup is straightforward.

I installed this solution with the help of my own team.

Our licensing fees including technical support are approximately $3,500 USD.

We evaluated a solution by F5, but we found it to be a little complex and we didn't proceed with it.

My advice for anybody who is considering this product is that it works best for small-scale industry. I would recommend this for a small business, but not for larger organizations. It works quite well for 1,000 or 2,000 users, but I would not recommend more than that.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

The main use of Citrix NetScaler was for application integration. My clients wanted their applications to be managed through Citrix NetScaler.

The most valuable feature of  Citrix NetScaler was the seamless integration. Additionally, the UI is good.

Citrix NetScaler has been recently acquired by another company and the support has been negatively impacted, the solution is at its end of life. The support for the solution could improve. The sales team needs to be improved.

I have used Citrix NetScaler within the last 12 months.

Citrix NetScaler is stable and robust.

Citrix NetScaler is scalable but could improve.

I have three to four customers.

I rate the scalability of Citrix NetScaler a seven out of ten.

The video technical support from Citrix NetScaler was satisfactory.

The initial setup of Citrix NetScaler is straightforward. The process is easier than competitors. The solution took us approximately 20 days to deploy because we had many applications that needed to be scheduled.

The requirement was to provide load balancing of multiple applications and publish all the applications behind Citrix NetScaler.

The license for Citrix NetScaler is on an annual basis and it is reasonably priced.

I would not recommend this solution to others.

I rate Citrix NetScaler an eight out of ten.

Citrix NetScaler is an Application Delivery Controller which we use to manage our gateway load balancing and web solution.

Citrix NetScaler supports our virtual appliance solutions.

Citrix NetScaler is a complete solution that is customizable, easy to configure, and has the most features.

Citrix NetScaler has stopped supporting the older versions and that has made it difficult for some of our clients. I would like to have continued support for older versions of the solution.

The vendor provides frequent patches, however, the security of the website has room for improvement.

The cost of the solution has room for improvement.

I have been using the solution for almost six years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

The tech support is good.

Positive

The older version was complex to set up but now the solution's GUI is easy to configure.

The deployment consists of going to the storefront and configuring Citrix NetScaler on-premises.

The deployment does not take long but after the basic configuration, we have to customize based on the customer's requirements.

The implementation is completed in-house.

Our clients have seen a return on investment.

I give the price of the solution a seven out of ten.

I give the solution an eight out of ten.

The maintenance of the solution is not complex.

Citrix NetScaler is the best Application Delivery Controller on the market and I recommend it to others.

We mostly use VPN and enroll the NetScaler.

The most valuable feature is the SSL VPN.

The SLB could be better, and they should improve it. We want to see REST proxy and WAF capabilities in the next release.

We have been using this solution for three and a half years. It is deployed on-premises.

It is a stable product, and I rate the stability an eight out of ten. In addition, we have not faced any complications with the hardware.

I rate the scalability an eight out of ten, and we have no issues. We have 3000 people using Citrix NetScaler, and our business people use it daily.

I rate the technical support a six out of ten. We have some support delays and do not get solutions on time, which can be frustrating. In addition, their technical support does not understand our issues.

Neutral

The initial setup is a bit complicated. We used a third-party consultant for the setup. I rate the setup an eight out of ten.

The licensing is more expensive than others, and I rate it a seven out of ten.

I rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I like app flows and custom flows. They integrate with multiple flows.

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.

I have been working with Citrix ADC for about six months.

My impression is that they are okay but have room for improvement. Technical support is not excellent, but not that bad either. In some cases, in some calls, we got the answer upfront, or one was given later. But most of the time, we have to do a follow-up call.

The initial setup was complex for me.

I would recommend this solution to potential users because most are working from home in today's scenario. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Citrix ADC a seven.

The primary use of this solution is application delivery. It provides access.

This solution is a gateway to the public cloud.

The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is very light. Once you log in, you have your applications delivered. It is not heavy over the internet or the web.

My customers have told me that the performance of this solution is good.

I would like to see multifactor authentication added to this solution to improve the security.

In terms of stability, this solution is quite good.

There are some things that I am not fully clear about when it comes to the physical appliance because I have not used it before. Currently, I am using the virtual appliance and it is scalable.

We have approximately one hundred users. We have no plans to increase usage at this time.

My consultant handles the first level of technical support for me.

I have not tried other solutions.

The initial setup of this solution is not complex. I think that it's quite simple.

The deployment takes approximately one or two days.

I have a consultant who handles the deployment of this solution for me.

We have the option of configuring the workspace or the receiver for clients to connect, or they can use the URL option and then login. I prefer using the URL that is on the web.

This is a solution that I have used for years and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use it for our clients' the desktops for their virtual machines.

I like the ease of use. It's easy to manage. I also like it's ease of use with virtualization technologies with applications.

Integration with other third party providers and third party applications could be better because it can be a bit complex at present.

Screen resolution needs improvement as well.

I've been using it for two years.

It is stable.

It is a scalable solution.

Technical support has been helpful.

Citrix ADC is quite easy to set up, and the deployment took us about four to five days. However, if all factors are available it should take a couple of hours.

I would suggest that you use Citrix ADC, but you may need to watch out a bit for possible latency issues when you use some of their virtualization solutions. However, it's still good, compared to some other products.

I would rate Citrix ADC at seven on a scale from one to ten.
