What do you dislike about NetScaler?

Citrix ADC though is a great product, but learning this product and using all features set is difficult as these feature sets are well distributed within the ADC console. Also finding small configs might get difficult due to lack of search feature. My ask will be to make adc console a bit more simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetScaler?

Citrix ADC chiefly provides flexible & consistent approaches to our application delivery lifecycle as various deployment considerations get tricky. On working with new containerization services, visibility of our entire cloud environments, flexibility to scale up or down based on demands and security compliances are satisfactory through Citrix ADC. It also provides effective control management & orchestration platform for our organization's app infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetScaler?

Citrix ADC follows a single code base framework which is effective for our application portfolio. Collaboration and consistency in our deliverables become easy through this and also we make use of its pooled licensing feature. Overall, there isn't anything to dislike as Citrix ADC handles the network service scalability and automation requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
