Airlock vs NetScaler comparison

"Our customers are more than satisfied with the user experience provided by the product."

"Citrix Netscaler makes it easy to provide services to end users, offering better visibility into user sessions compared to VMware. However, instability in network or machine can cause headaches as it's hard to pinpoint issues. SSL offload feature enhances security posture by providing secure connectivity between end users and backend systems. We use additional Azure remote security solutions for comprehensive protection."

"The feature that I have found most valuable is its load balancing."

"The web application firewalling component is a powerful feature."

"This solution increases the backend network service performance, which is one of the things that we like the most."

"SSL Offload"

"The load balancing feature and the fact that you can do context switching in the WAF are the most valuable. We majorly use it for load balancing, but we also use it for context switching in the WAF. It is also robust and very easy to work with and manage."

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

"Scalability is great. One of the best features of NetScaler is that it can scale out."

"The tool must be simplified."

"Citrix ADM needs to improve on its additional features and reduce the communication ports."

"The solution is a bit more expensive than some of the available solutions in this region. One solution in particular that I noticed was cheaper was Kemp."

"Deployment is complicated."

"The customization has always been a key area where some improvements are required. In the beginning, everything was for customizing the outer shell of it. You had to use the command-based utility and you had to do a lot of manual work. They have improved it a little bit and now there are some GUI-based functionalities that can be used. However, more can be done that doesn't require a lot of intervention. Right now there are some features, there are some customizations that can be done, but it's still very tedious, very cumbersome, a lot of work. So that could be simplified."

"We would like to see some fairly large scale improvement in the configuration process for this solution."

"Some features of Citrix ADM are available on the cloud, which could really be helpful if they were available on an on-premise version."

"Its GUI should be improved. Its CLI is powerful, but GUI needs more features."

"I think the documentation should be improved."

"The tool is cheap."

"F5 BIG-IP is much more expensive than Citrix ADC. For example, If we choose two platforms, Citrix ADC, 3000 version, and we choose F5, F4200 version. F5 BIG-IP has connections, timers, and throughput similar to Citrix ADC, but the price is very expensive."

"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."

"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten since it is expensive."

"We get value for money. Its price is fair. I don't think it is overpriced."

"It's an expensive product but it works well."

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

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."

"Price-wise, I feel that the solution is a little bit expensive."
