Not ready for a production environment

• October 01, 2014
• Review verified by AWS Marketplace

Here's a quick summary:
The BAD:
- the product is unstable. It's crashing for various reasons. This ranges from a restart every week to 5-6 restarts each day.
- when it doesn't crash it has other networking issues. We've lost weeks chasing a bug that randomly dropped TCP packets.
- the Java GUI is completely unusable. It's incredibly slow and doesn't function with new Java versions. If you want to use it you have to open up every security hole there is in the JVM.

The GOOD:
- the Netscaler console is incredibly powerful and you can configure the instance really fast and reliable from there
- the policy engine is decently powerful. It can be tailored to route/rewrite/respond to traffic pretty much every way you like.

I wouldn't recommend this for production use unless you like to stay awake day and night and mop after every crash or you're fine with an uptime close to 96-98%.
