Explore a Comparison of RELIANOID and Citrix Across Key ADC Capabilities.
Citrix Netscaler Strengths
Offers a cost-effective solution that encompasses a wide array of deployment choices and feature capabilities, ideally suited for the majority of enterprise settings.
Vigorously pursues capabilities aimed at supporting experimental or less clearly defined initiatives, backed by robust roadmaps for product enhancements.
Netscaler seamless integrates within the Citrix suite of products, providing a cohesive user experience.
Maintains a robust corporate partnership, fostering close integration between Netscaler ADC and Cisco Nexus for enhanced performance and functionality.
RELIANOID’s Strengths
Expert and skilled R&D professionals accomplished in Zevenet and Zen Load Balancer, departing from an Open Source technology with no vendor lock-in and broad platforms integration (hardware, virtual, bare metal and cloud), bringing security, performance and readiness.
Cost-effective solutions with no constraints on products and services, tailored to the needs of midsize companies as well as large enterprises.
Protocol Versatility adapting and managing diverse network environments and protocols (UDP, TCP, HTTP/S, SCTP, SIP, T/FTP).
L7 and L4 Performance managing over 140K concurrent users at Layer 7, while at Layer 4, it efficiently handles more than 10 million concurrent users, all with just 2 dedicated cores.
High Availability witha automatic real time stateful cluster replication.
Security and WAF improved as it incorporates an Intrusion Prevention and Detection System (IPDS) and also an integrated Web Application Firewall (WAF). It actively safeguards web applications against specific threats while providing real-time IP blacklisting, Denial of Service (DoS) protection, and support for black and whitelisting.
User-friendly interface designed for both DevOps and SRE professionals, ensuring ease of use in managing and configuring systems.
Automation thanks to its fully programmable and robust REST+JSON API.
Citrix Netscaler’s Weaknesses
Citrix NetScaler’s customer support often lacks responsiveness, and in a business environment, speed is of utmost importance.
The licensing structure for Citrix products lacks transparency, as they do not offer standardized packages. Instead, many packages are sold individually, potentially resulting in additional, unforeseen costs.
RELIANOID’s Weaknesses
Emerging brand, challenging the ADC and Load Balancing market, operating as an open-source company.
Still in the process of building a significant presence. It must expand its partnership network more extensively.
