Citrix XenServer Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Citrix Specialist at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees4.5I use Citrix XenServer to maintain services using PVS streaming technology. Its file-sharing feature is valuable, but improvements in performance, interface, and support for containerization are needed. Sometimes I consider alternatives like Proxmox VE for better management.
Owner at AvalisNT AG3.5I’ve used Citrix XenServer extensively for virtualization due to its cost-effectiveness and stability, though it lacks advanced disk management features and scaling capabilities, making it better suited for smaller, on-premises environments.
Co-Founder at Virajo3.5I use Citrix XenServer for server virtualization, supporting Windows and Linux without significant compatibility issues. While live migration and heterogeneous resource pools are valuable, backup software support and fast storage recovery need improvement for better disaster recovery solutions.

ICT Diensthoofd - Head of ICT at Azwest4.0We've used Citrix XenServer for five years mainly for centralized monitoring and access control, which boosts productivity by simplifying user access; it's stable, scalable, and support is solid, though we haven’t explored its AI features yet.
Shipping Manager at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees3.5I've used Citrix XenServer for three months to evaluate alternatives to VMware and found its centralized management UI and migration features useful, though deployment requires Windows, which could be improved with a virtual appliance.
Pre-Sales at a computer software company with 11-50 employees3.0I use Citrix XenServer primarily for deploying Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, attracted by its essential VDI capabilities and stability. However, improvements in compatibility, backup support, and overall support are needed. Previously, I found it challenging compared to Red Hat for AI workloads.
Enterprise Architect at Wipro Limited4.0We primarily use Citrix XenServer for VDI, benefiting from its virtualization, resource management, and scalability. Although valuable, it poses challenges with costs, complexity, and support. Despite its expense, its server consolidation and management benefits often justify the investment.
