We have been able to setup pretty granular access control on our  
Netscalers. I can login via SSH and poke around the config as a read- 
only user, without fear of breaking anything. The WebUI has the same  
granularity. They also configured them to authenticate  against the  
Radius servers, which makes the security guys happy. The Netscalers  
also have a robust Web Service API, allowing our team to write some  
nice management tools to keep configurations in sync across our dozens  
of devices.
