Overall Satisfaction with NetScaler

As a VAR, I see all use cases under the sun. We solve problems that sprawling networks can cause using the Netscaler platform: authentication, routing, load balancing, Application Firewall, you name it, the NetScaler can do it.

Pros

  • The Netscaler PLATFORM does great analytics
  • Security and the single-pass policy engine
  • Access Gateway for Citrix CVAD/DaaS

Cons

  • Managability
  • Onboard metrics/monitoring
  • General deployment
  • Licensing costs have changed because of Citrix changes (negative)
Some older functions (cloudbridge, reporting) do not work well in newer versions. Cloudbridge functionality is completely broken in the new versions and the documentation was cut/paste from 13.0
