Find out what your peers are saying about Citrix, Microsoft, VMware and others in Application Virtualization."Stable product with straightforward setup."
"There are many features that I like, but the stability over the Internet is exceptional. Even if there's bandwidth fluctuation or network jitter, it performs well, offering a seamless experience to end-users without noticeable disruptions."
"It provides the flexibility of being used on any device which makes the employee experience better, in terms of ease of use."
"My focus has primarily been on publishing virtual applications."
"Instead of pointing to any single feature, I would say the most valuable aspect of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is the overall product itself. Virtualized apps and desktops, in theory and in practice, are very helpful to users."
"The most valuable feature is the gateway to a remote connection, to a physical or a virtual PC. Compared to a normal VPN client and connection, the connection via Citrix is more stable and does not consume as much network bandwidth."
"The most valuable feature is how secure the solution is."
"Before we adopted a VDI storage solution, our customers' personal information was leaked. This happened a lot. But since we adopted a VDI solution, these kinds of issues have happened rarely."
More Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service) Pros →
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"The ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production."
"We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"The product should expand its capabilities for integrating with other environments."
"The product advances really fast. For some customers, we need better backwards compatibility."
"The initial setup is complex."
"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."
"In the bank, a major part of all our applications is Microsoft App-V. If App-V is at end of life, then we need a new technology to replace it. As of today, I haven't seen in Citrix Studio that there is a new technology embedded directly in it to replace App-V."
"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."
"Dependency on server virtualization after v7.x is an issue which I encountered in small environments."
"We have had issues with certain aspects, which is why we are looking for alternatives. For example, the firewall solution from Citrix is a bit complicated. Integration is hard."

"I think with the world soon becoming only SSD, possibly NVMe, and 3D Xpoint. It would make sense for Tintri to drop the hybrid array down the line."
"I would like to be able to add more storage capacity to our 2 units down the road with out buying an additional seprate array."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"Technical support is an area where we had several issues, and it was hard to get some support in a specific case we had. I'm not very satisfied with them."
"Their current replication is really just enough to "check the box" that they do replication. We'll probably implement Actifio, Zerto or EMC RecoverPoint for VMs for more critical data replication."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"Their support staff just doesn't have the experience with all of the products that we're running. They don't know the 850 series like we do because it's five years old. There is a little bit of a gap, and that may just be because we're an old customer running on platforms that their staff hasn't seen. I would like to see an improvement in their in-depth knowledge of their older products."
