NetScaler Reviews

Citrix NetScaler is an Application Delivery Controller which we use to manage our gateway load balancing and web solution.

Citrix NetScaler supports our virtual appliance solutions.

Citrix NetScaler is a complete solution that is customizable, easy to configure, and has the most features.

Citrix NetScaler has stopped supporting the older versions and that has made it difficult for some of our clients. I would like to have continued support for older versions of the solution.

The vendor provides frequent patches, however, the security of the website has room for improvement.

The cost of the solution has room for improvement.

I have been using the solution for almost six years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

The tech support is good.

The older version was complex to set up but now the solution's GUI is easy to configure.

The deployment consists of going to the storefront and configuring Citrix NetScaler on-premises.

The deployment does not take long but after the basic configuration, we have to customize based on the customer's requirements.

The implementation is completed in-house.

Our clients have seen a return on investment.

I give the price of the solution a seven out of ten.

I give the solution an eight out of ten.

The maintenance of the solution is not complex.

Citrix NetScaler is the best Application Delivery Controller on the market and I recommend it to others.

We solely use this solution for Citrix remote access.

This has allowed us to secure Citrix remote access from the internet, as it is currently the only solution available that enables this.

We appreciate that this solution facilitates our access to Citrix internet.

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

This solution carries a high price point, which we would like to see some reduction in.

We have been using this solution for 10 years now.

We have found this to be a stable solution.

This is a scalable solution in our experience.

The setup for this solution is fairly complex.

We would rate this solution a six out of ten.

The primary use case is for troubleshooting how users are experiencing the Citrix environment.

The most valuable features are for the ADMs and the overall monitoring environment.

I would like to see the virtual and desktop license included in the pricing.

I have been working with Citrix ADM for a number of years.

I have found the scalability to be acceptable.

The initial setup was straightforward and simple. The installation took about an hour.

I did the installation in-house.

The pricing could be lower. The actual device itself is included in the license, so the fact that you have to license virtual machines on it is the price point that could be lower.

I would rate Citrix ADM an eight on a scale of one to ten.

We use Citrix NetScaler as an access gateway for many virtual apps and desktops. We're also using the solution for load-balancing and content-switching purposes.

What I like most about Citrix NetScaler is its stability, and I didn't see a lot of issues with it.

The setup for Citrix NetScaler has room for improvement. It could be easier.

I've been working with Citrix NetScaler for five years.

Citrix NetScaler is pretty stable.

Citrix NetScaler is a scalable solution.

I found Citrix NetScaler support great.

The initial setup for Citrix NetScaler is complex.

How long it takes to deploy Citrix NetScaler varies from one day to one month, depending on the customer's environment. Deployment time is different every time.

The client pays for the Citrix NetScaler license annually.

I have five hundred to six hundred clients using Citrix NetScaler.

I recommend the solution to other people who want to use it.

My rating for Citrix NetScaler is eight out of ten.

We use it for our clients' the desktops for their virtual machines.

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

Integration with other third party providers and third party applications could be better because it can be a bit complex at present.

Screen resolution needs improvement as well.

I've been using it for two years.

It is stable.

It is a scalable solution.

Technical support has been helpful.

Citrix ADC is quite easy to set up, and the deployment took us about four to five days. However, if all factors are available it should take a couple of hours.

I would suggest that you use Citrix ADC, but you may need to watch out a bit for possible latency issues when you use some of their virtualization solutions. However, it's still good, compared to some other products.

I would rate Citrix ADC at seven on a scale from one to ten.

We are using Citrix ADC for SSL offloads and security, secure remote access, loads balancing, and application firewall, web application firewall.

The most valuable features of Citrix ADC are load balancing and application firewall.

Overall the price of Citrix ADC could be more competitive.

I have been using Citrix ADC for approximately 10 years.

The stability of Citrix ADC is good.

Citrix ADC is highly scalable. You can upgrade it and put increase the bandwidth or add more security features. You can start from the basic standard version, up to the Platinum version.

Citrix ADC's initial setup was simple. The full process took approximately a half-day.

We did the implementation of Citrix ADC in-house because we have the Citrix consultancy services for our customers. They utilize our services on-premise, and in-house. However, typically, the end-user customers, for private/public cloud,  have to have some deep technical knowledge. It's not for every IT person to implement. That's why the consulting team is needed to implement these kinds of solutions because they're very sensitive and high critical position in terms of application firewall, et cetera.

We have one person who handles the support of our Citrix ADC. For our customers, we use one person for their support.

Citrix ADC could improve the price and make it less expensive, other competitors have a better prices. This would allow Citrix ADC to keep dominating the market.

It is a very good solution.

I rate Citrix ADC a nine out of ten.

Our company is based in Ecuador. I'm a key account manager and a business consultant. 

With Citrix ADC, our clients can improve their security, performance, and they can escalate when they need it. It's a complete solution for application delivery and security.

When it comes to all Citrix products, price is an issue, because all their products are complete solutions. They have all the characteristics that our clients require, but it almost falls down when we are competing with less expensive solutions.

In Ecuador, people don't just rely on the functionalities of a solution, the price point is very important, even though they know that Citrix is a better product. I'd like to see a different licensing model that would take all that into account. 

I've been using this solution for three years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable and flexible. 

Most of our clients don't require support for the product. We manage the solution and organize periodical maintenance. If there are any firmware updates or a patch that Citrix has released, we install them. 

The implementation is quite difficult. We have one person who is certified in the solution and has a lot of experience with the products. Our other technicians don't have as much experience and implementation of ADC is complex for them. 

Citrix ADC is one of the main elements of the SEA approach that Garner has released. Users can manage their applications, as well as monitor and improve all the security that they need.

I rate this solution 10 out of 10. 

We are only using it for load balancing and application firewalls.

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

Citrix ADC is actually not the most preferable product from our perspective but for the virtual desktop use it is very efficient. It's very integrated with the virtual desktop. It has a seamless integration and that is the most valuable part.

Since it has a significant integration with its virtualization, that has improved the usability access of the virtual desktops.

In terms of what could be improved, I would say the user interface because sometimes it can be complicated.

In the next release, I would like to see advanced language support for managing the traffic, rather than only the RegEx. That would be helpful.

I have been using Citrix ADC for about five years.

In terms of stability, it is not as good as F5. 

It is not as scalable as F5.

There are three people using it, and they're all engineers.

It takes one staff member for the deployment and maintenance - also an engineer.

We have a static user base in our organization, but for our customer base its use is going to be expanded.

The technical support is not bad.

We are using most of the solutions together, so there is no switching between the products. We are currently using F5, too, and we always prefer that first. But it depends on the deployment and it depends on the needs. For deployments we choose Citrix.

The initial setup is straightforward. It took two hours.

Our strategy is just deploy and use it. It's a simple process for us.

We are the integrators.

If they are going to use it with the VDI, it is a very good product, but it has weaknesses in application firewall development. So if they are going to only do load balancing in an SMB solution, it is a good product. But if they're consulting as an enterprise product and in a very large scale deployment enterprise, Citrix is not a complete solution. But for an SMB product and a basic cloud balance, it is a good product.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Citrix ADC a seven. It does what it does. It is a product for some simple tasks, but just not suitable for the complex tasks.
