NetScaler ADC

Citrix is an important drive that essentially stores all of your much needed information and files. Columbia uses it for policy interactive tools that allows it to store direct files onto a shareable file that can be accessed everywhere. Even better, it can act as a direct VPN similar to Cisco's in which the person can access the internet through its system undetected.

It does function often like Google drive in some ways but with less user friendly options. Nonetheless, a great database storage option.

Personally, this is for storing important files and reminders that I need to access on the go without worry of encryption or avoiding Wifi and other problems that are reminiscent of google drive and other online cloud storage services. This offers everything that those other systems offer as well sans the trouble and worry of something escaping or getting lost. And again, the VPN that comes with accessing Google through Citrix truly is helpful in accessing data across countries that block other sites.

It is convenient to have all apps in one place. When I need something new it's easy to havr it uploaded to one place

It can be slow to load apps and open/close websites from Citrix

Solved the need to have individual licenses for every app and it makes it easier to navigate where different programs are

Citrix ADC works really well across a global enterprise platform. One of the best advantages is that you can execute a process, log off the machine, and then reconnect at a later time, and the session resumes where you left off. It seems to work better on a local network, but once firewall ports are opened on all networks, the efficiency still maintains with a little latency. The load bearing aspect works quite well across multiple servers and machines.

There are times when Citrix does freeze and hang up and then all processes need to be restarted. This causes a lot of time delays when cash flows need to be reported in a timely manner.

Ensure that firewall ports and permissions are setup prior to installing the software. Also, you can use 'dumb' terminals to run Citrix from so no need for expansive investment in hardware.

We are solving asset liability solutions on an enterprise network. We are using distributed compute across several machines to calculate cash flows for millions of transactions. The bank is also using this for multiple employees to access various databases across multiple networks.

Clean layout; simplistic and few buttons used to navigate

the program used at my office is terrible dated and reminds me of 1997 software. slow to load.

Once you get it set it just continues to work as it should. There are so many different ways to get what you need so it makes it very flexible for almost any workload. The improvements keep coming and over the past few years, it has become a lot more intuitive and less convoluted. Citrix has built-in processes that take away some of the annoying added steps and places for error in older versions. I work with Citrix almost exclusively and it is the only solution even worth considering.

Some changes in the interface require some extra clicks. These are not game changers, and once you go through it a few times you realize there is a benefit to it to help avoid configuration errors. Older versions had a lot of browser compatibility issues. Those seem to be gone now. Occasionally a feature will move from one place to another, and unless you read the release notes, or get exposed to it in real time, it can catch you off guard.

Load balancing. Remote access. VDI usage reporting.

The easy of integration between Citrix Storefront and Xenapp.

Changes are not auto saved, and reboots remove any unsaved changes.

It is great if you are planning to use storefront/xenapp. For load balancing and traffic management there are other options.

Citrix ADC is has helped our cross-functional team tremendously, by seamlessly integrating with our fundraising database. It has added a layer of intelligence and dynamism to our workload.

In the short period of time I have used the product, I have not encountered anything that I do not like.

We're using the ADC to power our fundraising database.

system flexibility to allow personalized consumer focused task completion

poor IT support, lots of "bugs". Not the most reliable system & poor record keeping

customize-able but poor reliability, record keeping, support

customer service, task completion

I don’t know much about how the server worked, but our IT guys chose it because it worked well with our pre existing Citrix platform

It sometimes took a while for the updates we made to reflect in applications.
