Pros
"We like the periodic upgrades and backups, also made via ADMs, and it makes our environment much more robust and reliable.""We use the product for load balancing and as a reverse proxy solution.""The analytics are a great feature.""Content filtering, security layer, and application customization features are the most valuable.""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.""The most valuable features are for the ADMs and the overall monitoring environment.""The most impressive thing about Citrix ADM is that we don't encounter latency.""Available on any device and can be accessed on a wide area network."

"ExtremeCloud IQ is a complete package with the pilot and the co-pilot feature that gives me full visibility of the network.""HiveManager is extremely easy to use for anyone with little network experience.""Our transaction polling is now way more secure.""Whenever I have a concern, question, or just need a refresher the helpful staff at AeroHive is there to help me. By far, the ]best relationship I have ever had with a vendor.""The support organization behind this product is extremely professional.""When we deployed the new IP that is managed wirelessly in the cloud, it fixed the problems. Now, we don't have any more reports, and everything works fine.""HiveManager is incredibly useful for managing APs and switches from one cloud interface.""a true controller-less approach, where each Access Point is 100% independent from the management system."

Cons
"They need to make the solution a little more familiar with easy study guides, learning videos, etc.""Citrix ADM needs to improve on its additional features and reduce the communication ports.""Deployment is complicated.""Citrix is more expensive than Horizon.""I would like to see the virtual and desktop license included in the pricing.""Some features of Citrix ADM are available on the cloud, which could really be helpful if they were available on an on-premise version.""When a new version comes out, sometimes, my existing configuration gets wiped out. They should work on this so that my existing configuration doesn't get impacted with an upgrade to a newer version. There could also reduce frequent firmware upgrade activities and have a stable version so that once we upgrade it, we don't have to upgrade it for two to three years.""The tool's pricing is a pain point since we have many cheaper alternatives."

More Citrix ADM Cons →

"Certain features only exist or work in certain versions.""ExtremeCloud should invest in an SD-WAN solution or integration with SD-WAN.""A room for improvement in ExtremeCloud IQ is roaming. My team is facing roaming issues with the solution, particularly when using VoIP over WiFi. For example, VoIP sometimes breaks when you walk around the customer site. In terms of what I'd like to see in the next release of the solution, right now, the inventory for ExtremeCloud IQ is awful. There's no stock, and you must wait a year and a half for new stocks. It's awful.""Pricing could be improved. It could be lower.""A mobile app would be awesome.""I would like to see a remote phone application for monitoring APs when on the road.""I would like to see more security features such as NAC integrated to the solution. This would allow customers to be able to control all other users under one dashboard.""The licensing model could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "The pricing could be lower."
  • "Citrix ADM costs us approximately $5000 per month."
  • "I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."
  • More Citrix ADM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Although the pricing is a bit high, I consider Aerohive to be well worth the money."
  • "Buy near the end of Q4 in order to get a deal."
  • "Bring the cost down."
  • "I would advise that you be sure to compare apples with apples. Many customers just look at the price per AP and licences, and compare that against other solutions. But, they do not look at the complete picture such as: TCO - how much the equipment will cost you over, say, seven years? Will the customer need to change complete infrastructure when they want to buy the newest hardware? Does support include a lifetime warranty and RMA?"
  • "For example, if you compare Aruba vs Aerohive, you need to check which licences from Aruba you need to match the functionality of Aerohive (usually you need at least three types of licences and a controller with redundancy). The same goes with Cisco, where you need buy additional licences for central management, firewall, spectral analysis, WIPS, PPSK, etc. Aerohive has a very simple model - one licence for all the functionalities - and you can believe that there are many. One licence makes it easy to maintain, scale, renew and you can plan your costs 10 years in advance."
  • "Start small and grow big. You can choose the basic Aerohive Connect free subscription solution and, later, if needed (in terms of functionality) you can upgrade to Aerohive Select."
  • "There are probably cheaper solutions but we invest for stability and performance for the longer haul."
  • "I did a multi-year license. It was a three-year license. It compares well with others in terms of the price. It is about a hundred dollars per year on a three-year scale."
