Overall Satisfaction with Citrix ADC (formerly NetScaler ADC)
We currently use Citrix ADC primarily as a reverse proxy and a load balancer for our web servers. We also use content switching feature to send web traffic to correct back-end resources. In the future we will be setting up GSLB (Global Server Load Balancing) to better route web traffic between our 2 sites. We also use Citrix Gateway to be a front end for our Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops.
- Load-balancing is very effective.
- Makes a great reverse proxy to ensure back-end resources are secured.
- Very flexible in sense that almost any rule can be configured.
- Works very well with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (XenApp & XenDesktop).
- The policy engine syntax is a bit complicated to learn.
- The UI is good but navigation is a bit cumbersome.
- Configurations are somewhat complex for some features.
- Provides secure access to back-end resources.
- Increased performance on web traffic due to load balancing.
