(292 Ratings)
As soon as we deployed the product, we were able to migrate critically exposed business services behind it. Not only did it provide functionality and security, but it provided visibility into the number of threat vectors we had to be wary of. This allowed us to be aggressive with the various sites we owned to be placed behind the platform. If you purchase a box, don't let it sit on a shelf. You'll be missing out on the value and insight the platform brings to your organization. Read all insights and reviews for F5 BIG-IP

What makes NetScaler to be one, if not, the best Application Delivery Controller is that it optimizes application delivery to end users with excellent performance gains. Aside from the application's performance, it will also be secure. NetScaler has been one of the leading ADCs in the market and a lot of our customers continue to use it for those reasons. However, due to the recent acquisition by CSG, it may have become a bit pricey for our small to medium customers.Read all insights and reviews for NetScaler
