Citrix Gateway
Chose Citrix Gateway
We chose Citrix Netscaler Gateway for its wide market presence and its great experience over time. Although the implementation time may be longer than in the other solutions, I think the results are better and it allows configuration with greater capacity than the others. The …
Chose Citrix Gateway
Citrix Gateway is more convenient for me and I have been using Citrix Gateway for so many years I think it is almost ten years of using Citrix Gateway. So the features of Citrix are very familiar and easier for me. So I prefer to use Citrix Gateway.
Chose Citrix Gateway
In Cisco, there a lot of problems we encounter each day such as we can't login if Cisco has system issues. We were unable to login on time. We can't access some of its features. Display and interface needs improvement. We were unable to access some links and attachments unlike …
Chose Citrix Gateway
Citrix Gateway is a product that is very useful when working virtually. I would recommend this product. You just need to be aware of its limitations in trying to access certain other software products that are not compatible with it.
Chose Citrix Gateway
Citrix is what I would call the leader in this category, as they have been doing it for a very long time and have been doing it pretty well. They continue to develop their offering and it's definitely one of the more price-competitive options out there on the market.
Chose Citrix Gateway
The Citrix access gateway allowed for more freedom of device and did not need profiles or certificates to get started. allowing for better range of devices and less time over call per call in VPN troubleshooting settings.
Chose Citrix Gateway
They both have about the same reliability but I don't have to install Citrix NetScaler on my computer which is nice.
Chose Citrix Gateway
The only other SSL VPN type product I have used was Citrix Secure Gateway. Netscaler is a MUCH more feature filled product. CSG was a free add on to older versions of Citrix Metaframe and Xenapp and was specifically just used for securing Citrix infrastructure. Netscaler …
Chose Citrix Gateway
The main benefit of Citrix above other access gateways (for example Remote Desktop Connection/LogMeIn) is that it is relatively intuitive and easy to use for both the Gateway host and anyone using the gateway to access data. It also provides more flexibility than most other …
Chose Citrix Gateway
We faced many challenges trying to integrate F5 into newer versions of Citrix Web Interface with Secure Gateway to front end our XenApp environments. After migrating to Citrix NetScaler we had a much less complex configuration to manage, performance and user satisfaction was …

Citrix Gateway is also a great browser or alternate browser if you need a more search engine for your research and other important things to know. It is perfect for your browsing experience and I highly recommend Citrix to my colleagues and friends. For me, this tool is really useful and I believe to others too.

  • Really fast deployment.

  • Citrix Netscaler Gateway is a solid front end for any organizations externally facing infrastructure. Nothing is impenetrable but Netscaler is as close to it as you can get.
  • Netscaler is high on available customization so it can be used by both small shops and large shops in that it offers opportunity to change most parts of the system to your liking.
  • In blending well with Citrix Xenapp and Xendesktop systems, Netscaler is particularly strong in protecting other Citrix products. Both the Netscaler and the Xen systems have hooks built into them to best use each other.

  • One main opportunity that I want to be improved is to lessen the lag and errors in using Citrix.
  • We wish to reduce support request with self service password resets.
  • We would also want to lessen authentication to involve less administration.

Support Rating
Support said the devices will work in our environment but when we had the device working we realized that it was not possible to do what we wanted, for this reason, our experience was not entirely good and we did not like the way they approached us for the sale of the device.

Support is pretty good and pretty fast to respond. I can't say I can really complain about the support experience I've had with them, as they've resolved issues within a reasonable time-frame. Of course, they could always be faster and better, but I think for what we pay, it's well worth the money.

The cost is similar in all the solutions seen.

Return on Investment
  • A10 Thunder ADC had a negative impact on the company, due to the fact that the client had to monitor a large number of sites, which could not be achieved with this device.
  • This led to looking for another alternative.
  • It is more beneficial for companies that do not need to monitor a large number of websites as the security and stability provided by the device are excellent.

  • we moved from Cisco to Citrix VPN, and no longer had to worry about certificate issues
  • profile issues from Cisco were no longer a problem with Citrix.
  • the amount of time PER VPN call dropped significantly in the internal helpdesk, however, the volume of calls stayed the same.
