Find out what your peers are saying about Citrix, Microsoft, VMware and others in Application Virtualization."It has improved delivering applications to remote locations with its lower bandwidth utilization."
"It provides all of the features required for the protection of data. For example, we don't want to allow any copy/paste of data to an outside environment, and we are able to restrict the VDI to not allow any data transfer from the VDI to the local laptop's hard drives. That is one of the greatest advantages the solution provides."
"XenDesktop has helped our users to work remotely with a better user experience."
"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."
"My focus has primarily been on publishing virtual applications."
"It is a stable solution. We don't usually have problems with the platform...It is a very scalable solution."
"The solution provides everything in one integrated platform. When it comes to monitoring their solution, it is really easy. We have all the information in one place so we can have the right information at the right moment. We can be proactive when it comes to dealing with performance, maintenance, and security issues."
"It virtualizes the application on your desktop."

"Driver virtualisation"
"If anything could be improved, it might be some of the Director functionality, and some of the dashboard customization, or the overall Director customization."
"There is room for improvement on the hypervisor side, providing better integration between the hypervisor and the product line. I suspect that they haven't put the work into that because of the move to the cloud. They want everything to be cloud-hosted. But for folks like us, who will always be a hybrid model, that's of some concern."
"If Citrix can develop something which can have more reach towards the backend infrastructure, other components of the Citrix environment, that would be ideal."
"There are many latency and slowness issues, which are things looked after by Citrix."
"Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops are not easy to set up. However, I have the experience and I can do it easily. It could be easier to set up."
"The Endpoint Management solution needs improvement when it comes to mobile device management. For example, they are still not supporting Windows 10 and this feature is required by many customers."
"The sales team does not focus on client needs but instead focuses on selling higher-priced items."
"When I needed support for a couple of things, three people intervened. Each time, three people gave me a different answer. In the end, they did not manage to give the right answer. At a certain point, they stopped replying."
