Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, Citrix and others in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)."The initial setup of Cisco VXI is straightforward."
"Citrix is used by many organizations to make it possible to streamline the way different developers work together from different locations."
"The product is simple to set up, and its deep integration with Microsoft is also a valuable feature."
"We can provide tons of applications with different settings, behaviors, and operating systems. It is the same way for the user. Then, we are totally transparent for the user to use a lot of totally different applications, which is the most important part of Citrix today."
"Before we adopted a VDI storage solution, our customers' personal information was leaked. This happened a lot. But since we adopted a VDI solution, these kinds of issues have happened rarely."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it supports team clients."
"My focus has primarily been on publishing virtual applications."

"When using Cisco VXI in virtual environments there tends to be a lot of bugs with files you have to deploy across the virtual environment. You configure for hours, and then there is a bug that stops you, and you notice that you wasted hours."
"The solution's technical support is not so good."
"Where improvement could be driven is in terms of clarity as to the functionality of some of the solutions. If you go back to the older Citrix Xen products that we had, we understood those really well. As we've come into the new workstation premium suite, there is a lot of additional functionality that we perhaps have not yet fully exploited. It is not because we can't, but simply because we don't yet understand the depth of functionality that's offered."
"For us, pricing is the most important feature to improve."
"The product should expand its capabilities for integrating with other environments."
"There have been many issues with stability."
"Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is a complex solution."
"Using the app layering feature can be quite difficult and cumbersome."
"The product advances really fast. For some customers, we need better backwards compatibility."
