"Enables a Web service that offers persistent client-server connections, IP restriction, URL rewrite (such as remove "/assets/" path from client-side URL path), and cache for CSS or JS files... You can easily use the GUI to set up all these requirements on the same network device within 20-30 minutes. (If you do the same steps on CLI, it might take less time.)"
"What I like most about Citrix NetScaler is its stability, and I didn't see a lot of issues with it."
"I would say the rewriting and redirection functions are must-have's for us."
"It is a complete solution for those looking for an all-in-one."
"The maintenance of the solution is not complex."
"Content Switching provides flexibility for routing traffic as desired to designated real servers. It also provides good geo capabilities through its GSLB feature."
"We use the solution's IP Reputation and bot protection features."
"The most valuable feature is the SSL upload."
"There are several levels of module so a company can upgrade if necessary."
"The solution itself is perfect. It's easy to configure and we haven't had any initial issues with the hardware or power supply."
"The most valuable feature is the vertical scaling of the application infrastructure."
"The technical support could be better. Whenever I contacted support, I rarely got the solution that we needed. And most of the time, I finished fixing the problem by looking on the internet or by finding documents about the problem on Google."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"If one device or switch fails, the failover to another device is not seamless which is painful."
"The solution should be able to scale more effectively than it does."
"Getting to use some of the advanced tools, even with the assistance of Citrix support, can be challenging."
"The security is okay, but the monitoring and reporting need improvement."
"There are some drawbacks, such as using EUG for specific configurations. It could be improved."
"They can improve the scalability and the multi-tenancy feature. We recently tried to configure an authentication, and we ran into some issues while using the web-based GUI. It was very slow when you log in with your credentials in the web-based GUI. Each time we clicked on the menu, it tried to do the authentication. It works properly in the console."
"It's hard to scale down the solution. You need to buy another product in order to do this."
"It's unfortunate that the network firewall isn't really a next generation firewall."
"The pricing for this solution should be reduced so that it can be more competitive."
"The initial setup is complex but it is manageable."
