• Performance: Netscaler AppFirewall also received high scores (max. CPS and TPS) against other WAFs.
  
  There is usually a trade-off between security effectiveness and performance. Because of this, it is important to judge a product’s security effectiveness within the context of its performance as well.
• Stability and Reliability: Netscaler AppFirewall passed 100% of all stability and reliability tests.
  
  Long-term stability is particularly important for an inline WAF solution, where failure can product network outages. NSS Labs tested the stability of the WAF solutions along with its ability to maintain security effectiveness while under normal load and while detecting malicious traffic
• TCO: Netscaler AppFirewall has the lowest TCO when compared to other WAFs while maintaining excellent security effectiveness AND performance!
