Find out what your peers are saying about Citrix, Microsoft, VMware and others in Application Virtualization."Its price and ease of use are the most valuable. It is simple and has good performance."
"Simplicity of the interface is a valuable feature."
"We can publish apps and desktops on Terminal Servers and seamlessly share printers. We also combine Parallels with Deepnet Security to get two-factor authentication."
"The connection is compressed so we don't need a lot of resources to run it."
"It is robust. We have some 75 users using it and it doesn't lag. It's very speedy."
"Valuable features include the ability to set up security groups for accessing certain apps, and the ability to add apps easily and centrally without touching the servers they’re hosted on."
"It provides flexible access to Windows applications from many types of devices."
"It has allowed us to centralize the software location so we don't have to update the software client on 70 computers."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The product offers integration capabilities with third-party solutions."
"The location and remote management services are the most valuable."
"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."
"We can do single sign-on and make use of the same user account to log into multiple applications."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is that it can support most end users' enterprise applications."
"I would rate the stability as eight out of ten."
"It seems highly stable and scalable."
"Generally, it is a very good solution. The main thing that I would improve is their presence here in Mexico. They don't have strong local support here in Mexico. They should have a worldwide presence so that we don't have to do everything through the people in the US. The initial setup was a little bit complex because we were migrating from Citrix. For customers who are migrating from another platform like VMware or Citrix, it would be great if they can provide an automated migration solution."
"From a seller's point of view, there are a lot of things that they could do better in the sales cycle."
"The main issue we have with all of our users is printing. Randomly, a printer will disconnect or someone won't connect to it and I will have to reset the print service and then nobody can print. That's the big headache we've had over the course of the five years."
"HALB is not stable in our environment. When running two HALBs we have stability problems, so we use an active one and a passive for backup. Also, it would be nice to implement an upgrade of the environment without having to stop the servers. As it is, this must be done during off-hours."
"Since I've been here less than a year, I have had to upgrade the system three times. The first time was the major upgrade but they have upgraded twice since, and I think that's too many times in that time span."
"Opening a ticket should be available from the actual RAS console. It is cumbersome to go to a portal, hunt around for five minutes for a link to open a ticket, answer questions meant to direct you towards FAQs instead of live support, then fill out information (license #, version #, etc.) which could more easily be supplied by sending a ticket straight from the console with all of that information automatically specified."
"We would like to be able to re-label the OTP (One Time Password) popup so our users can easily recognize that they are to put in their DUO code on that line. Most users see OTP and ask what that is."
"It would be great if there were more sophisticated GPO templates/options."
"They need a more flexible pricing model."
"They could provide DLP integration for applications and specific user account security."
"I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."
"The app installer is something that they should really change. It creates a lot of confusion for the user."
"The solution is too complicated. A lot of end customers don't know how to start when they go into the console."
"There should be better compatibility with Linux devices."
"The setup was very difficult. It was not as easy as I had expected."
"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."
