## Reviews

### "Netscaler Review" — 5.0/5

> **Walter** | *6 June 2019* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I loved using Netscaler to work from home.   I found the transition seamless when I had to work outside of the office.
> 
> **Cons**: Never had an issue connecting to my remote desktop when I worked from home in the past.

-----

### "It was implemented to balance network traffic and applications, these functions works just fine" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *16 April 2018*
> 
> **Pros**: Balancing can be configured easily for heterogeneous applications and once it's done it works fine without trouble
> 
> **Cons**: Lack of technical people with knowledge in the region. Support from local vendors is not good so you will need to have support from the matrix

-----

### "Swiss Army Knife of Networking" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *28 November 2018* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very good software that is available as virtual or physical appliance with tons of networking features such as load balancing, rewrites, SSO, MFA, gateway, web content engine, application firewall (among others). Very low on maintenance and can run stable for years on end.
> 
> **Cons**: Citrix support is notoriously bad. I would recommend leveraging a third party consulting company for implementation and support of this and other Citrix products.
> 
> Greta experience, would happily recommend this product a a great load balancer and content engine.

### "Great Networking Appliance" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *28 April 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Users love the efficiency gained through SSO and load balancing allows for a great experience. Citrix works best with Citrix so pairing with XenDesktop and XenMobile and ShareFile creates an even better experience.
> 
> **Cons**: It's packed with functionality and can be seen as complicated. Networking team will need to have a deep understanding of networking in order to take full advantage of its capabilities. Training and certification is recommended.
> 
> One of the best load balancing devices on the market with many other capabilities.

### "Citrix is Great" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *17 October 2018* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have worked on NetScaler in Ericsson \& HCL. It is really user friendly to handle the tool.
> 
> **Cons**: We have never faced any such challenges.
