Find out what your peers are saying about Citrix, Microsoft, VMware and others in Application Virtualization."XenApp is a fast, secure and reliable solution for remote connections that is completely different than and superior to older Windows solutions."
"ICA/HDX optimization policies."
"The most valuable feature has to be the non-persistent desktop. If one of my users messes something up and blows away their desktop, it goes back to what it was originally, before they had an issue."
"The ROI for us has been that when we had Hurricane Harvey last year, Xendesktop came in very handy for us. Even though people had electricity in Texas, many networks were down. Our offices could still get into our network and do work that was needed. It is an excellent virtual office that works anywhere, anytime and anyplace. It is worth our investment."
"The tool helps me to connect with some apps of our company and resolve the tickets."
"It is a stable solution. We don't usually have problems with the platform...It is a very scalable solution."
"For our company's customers, I feel that the product is stable."
"The initial setup is easy."
More Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service) Pros →
"We can do single sign-on and make use of the same user account to log into multiple applications."
"The remote management and location capabilities are good."
"The most valuable feature is policy-driven control of the devices."
"The platform provides a stable environment for operations and quickly creates new environments. Additionally, it offers efficient flexibility."
"The solution has a lot of capabilities, and it is easy to manage and customize."
"A very easy to use solution."
"You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is it provides the ability to find out the location of devices and manage end-point solutions when they are deployed, and keep them secure."
"Latency is also a major problem when adopting Citrix for video editing software or 3D editing software, especially editing 4K video or large file size. The Citrix virtualized solution becomes too slow, so we cannot use the VDI."
"Licensing service installation and configuration was the biggest challenge for all Citrix solutions, but now they have fixed a lot of issues."
"Direct connection of USB devices on the terminals to be used by streamed applications is very important for printing and the usage of token authentication, but the current version does not support this one hundred percent."
"The product advances really fast. For some customers, we need better backwards compatibility."
"Using the app layering feature can be quite difficult and cumbersome."
"They need to adapt more quickly to the latest additions to the Microsoft operating system. If Windows 10 comes out with a new version, there are compatibility issues and it takes them a lot of time to release an update."
"Citrix's functionality depends on you having access to Microsoft Azure. Microsoft offers a broad range of features and solutions. Overall, it may make sense for some users to move all their services to Microsoft services."
"Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is a complex solution."
More Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service) Cons →
"It's not accurate enough when it comes to sending items to end-users."
"Setup is not too complex."
"The solution's pre-stage enrollment could be improved."
"They do have a good integration, but there is a long way to go as far as integration is concerned. They need to integrate with the cloud solutions a little bit more. We are looking for Azure integration."
"They could provide DLP integration for applications and specific user account security."
"Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades."
"VMware Workspace ONE platform offers support for Mac Books and we see that there is some room for improvement in that area versus all the products out there."
"The SaaS environment is not very responsive at times, so the performance can be improved in that regard."
