Citrix Gateway offers an array of valuable features. The most significant ones include single sign-on (SSO), which enhances user convenience and security, and the load balancing feature, which improves network efficiency by distributing incoming traffic across multiple servers. Lastly, secure SaaS access is particularly valuable as it ensures that SaaS-based applications are delivered securely. These features contribute significantly to optimizing both user experience and system performance.

We appreciate the interface and the possibility of scale, as we have implemented a VPX instance in a virtual environment. It's easy to scale and easy to implement.
Scaling is important for us because we have different moments of high demand. For example, in admission, in the academic process, the congestion is very high.
This has a very high impact, especially for the remote users. The administrative staff and teachers have a very strong source of work remotely, which helps to improve their jobs in extra hours and additional duties.
View full review »I find Citrix Gateway valuable for its capabilities as a reverse proxy, providing security to applications exposed to the Internet. Key features include load balancing, dual-factor authentication, clientless VPN, and Web Application Firewall (WAF).
The product effectively helps me protect the organization's network from potential threats, thereby securing our environment from hackers and ransomware attacks.

I like the built-in VPN and NetScaler integration for load balancing and secure connectivity for network security.
View full review »It's a combination of many features that has been most beneficial for organizations' remote access needs. I think security is the most important, with the MFA capability of Citrix Gateway being a very good point. Security is the most important thing that all companies have to look for.
Another benefit is the way you can configure Citrix Gateway, with several policies for conditional access, for example. It's the same security, but implemented in a different way.
Conditional access is a good point. MFA is another. All communications are via SSL tunnels. Additionally, Citrix Gateway has the capabilities to protect against several types of attacks on your network, like denial of service. And there are a lot of other products that Citrix Gateway has inside.

We have users in a remote environment, home or branch offices that require access. So to enable the service to the end users, they should come through the gateway. It is advised also by Citrix to do that. So that is the reason we have the Gateway.

All of the features are quite valuable, including the node balancing and gateway.
View full review »I've found the security features like web application firewall, the tri-scale capability as well the portability. You can have the NetScaler platform in different formats, you can have it as regular physical appliance, virtual appliance, on a container, multi-tenant appliances, and even on bare metal. there are, of course, some minor diferences related to the platform the physical resources you're using, but the code and funtionality is basically the same. it gives you a lot of flexibility.
View full review »Most of our customers are using the load balancing feature and the verification feature is good as well, in my experience.
View full review »I cannot say that now because it's just been six months. Nonetheless, we haven't received any complaints or performance issues so far.
