A stable environment for users to access the Citrix build environment

What is our primary use case?

The product is basically basically, it's a virtual asset and desktop to provide the applications and the desktop to the users. And if I compare with this one, it is it has more feature. If you compare to the pricing and I think it is little bit faster than the Horizon PDI.

What is most valuable?

The most feature is the Citrix policies. We can easily manage, and it is integrated with the active directory as well. These are very important because we can easily maintain maintain the user's profiles and all these things. Apart from that, the IC protocol if we compare with the horizon. So it is little bit faster than if we are working with if if we are comparing with the horizon,

What needs improvement?

The licenses are very costly.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Citrix Workspace for 15 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The on-prem environment is more scalable than cloud environment.

I rate the solution’s scalability an eight out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is not good. Earlier, every time when we call, they provide end to end solution and with the proper documentation, but now the the support is not good. The response time is very poor. They take around four to five days to solve the issue. In between, we find the solution from the Google.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Citrix Workspace offers several advantages over Horizon. It's a newer product with robust policy integration capabilities. Citrix Workspace integrates with IT directories and offers a Citrix profile solution. While Horizon may be suitable for small environments, Citrix Workspace is better suited for larger environments with a higher number of users.

How was the initial setup?

The deployment process is simple. It offers a variety of components tailored to diverse needs. Its flexibility allows us to select and use components accordingly. Installation and configuration are straightforward, in smaller environments whereas in larger environments, it depend on the components used and the scale of deployment.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing for Citrix Workspace is relatively high which is influenced by market competition and the availability of similar products. However, Citrix has been working on reducing license charges, as they include terminal service licenses. Furthermore, if one opts for cloud infrastructure, such as Azure, additional licensing fees may apply.

I rate the product’s pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.

What other advice do I have?

We use Citrix NetScaler. VMware may offer a similar device. Occasionally, we also utilize a load balancer from a different company. Third-party software integrates well with Citrix Workspace, as it is built to meet specific requirements and can easily integrate with other products.

Citrix has reached a high level of maturity with the introduction of their cloud technology. Although they encourage cloud usage, their on-premises environment still holds value. Additionally, their cloud-based PVS solution offers promising advantages.

Citrix Workspace provides a stable environment for users to access the Citrix build environment. Once modifications are completed, users can easily access it without encountering significant issues within the environment.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
