"Citrix NetScaler offers robust security features, including SmartAccess and customizable policies, making it a reliable choice for safeguarding user data."

"There are certain features that are very useful and Citrix makes you pay a bit more for them."

This process iss complicated for us because Citrix does not have a not user-friendly interface and does not off user-friendly services. This needs a lot of improvement."
"Technical support sometimes takes a little longer because of the multilevel ticket priority."
"Citrix should improve the documentation. It is not really clear how to set up many features to our advantage. When we setup Citrix NetScaler ADC, we have to figure it out by ourselves without a lot of documentation."

"The licensing model and technical support of the solution could be improved."
"It's hard to scale down the solution. You need to buy another product in order to do this."
"The pricing for this solution should be reduced so that it can be more competitive."
"The initial setup is complex but it is manageable."
"It's unfortunate that the network firewall isn't really a next generation firewall."
