Enables secure remote access and load balancing with enhanced protection features
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.
Stas Radionov - PeerSpot reviewer
Responsive support, fair pricing, and good performance
It's going very well. We are happy with its capabilities. The performance is good overall. We like that we can change the connection if you don't like the speed, for example, is limited. You can find the right one to get the performance you require. It is easy to set up. It is stable. Technical support has been helpful and responsive. Pricing is fair. It was not too expensive.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's easy to use. Also, the deployment part is perfect."
"The product is straightforward."
"The product enables us to collect logs from the systems."
"The initial setup is simple. Normally with all setups, it's not very complicated. It really depends on the customer."
"We have users in a remote environment that might require to access the service."
"The session monitoring capability is good."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that it runs seamlessly."
"For our use case, it was scalable. There were at least 25 end users using this solution from remote locations. And once the connection was established, there weren't any complaints."
"It is stable."
 

Cons

"The solution has unnecessary limitations."
"As an organization, our initiative is to move to the cloud, Citrix Gateway needs to improve its cloud capabilities and make the cloud solution more robust."
"At this time it costs 35% more than other solutions."
"The initial setup is not straightforward."
"The dashboard or interface should be more clear in reporting issues. Integration with other applications should be more user-friendly."
"Citrix Gateway could improve the speed of the VPN. I sometimes have to wait for 10 to 15 minutes to get connected and other times when I am connected I have to abort, and reconnect."
"I would like to see improved logging because it doesn't keep much information for the session monitoring or historical sessions."
"Stability and security could be enhanced."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are two or three different models, but you can actually have a CapEx where you purchase the unit outright and then there's a yearly maintenance cost on top for years two and three, and four, or you can actually do a subscription purchase through Citrix cloud and you pay on a monthly basis, or you can have a three-year subscription contract as well. I give the solution a six out of ten for its cost."
"Pricing is very high if you do a comparison with what is available in the market."
"There is a need to make yearly payments for licensing purposes. Also, it is not an expensive one."
"There is a license to use Citrix Gateway and it is less expensive to use when compared to other solutions."
"Citrix is quite expensive."
"I consider Citrix Gateway to be an expensive solution, generally ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 yearly, depending on the model."
"The solution has a yearly licensing fee."
"It costs about 4,000 a year."
