Find out what your peers are saying about TeamViewer, Microsoft, Citrix and others in Remote Access."The installation and maintenance are good."
"The product is simple to set up, and its deep integration with Microsoft is also a valuable feature."
"The user experience when using the solution's technology remotely is definitely superior to our VPN and/or Windows Remote Desktop. It's a much better user experience for those folks."
"You can connect to any printer, and from anywhere you can print documents using a compressed channel. It is easy and the bandwidth is very low."
"The Provisioning Services are the most valuable feature. We have Premium licensing, so Provisioning Services is huge for us, along with the Virtual Apps and Desktops part. It allows us to have a vDisk for every region, one that can easily be copied between them if we need to, to limit the amount of updates we have to do."
"The remote desktop feature allows employees to work from home."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it supports team clients."

"The most valuable features are that it is consistently low profile and consistently works without hiccups or headaches."
"The cost of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is high and has room for improvement."
"Pricing can be lower and roaming profiles need to be fixed to work consistently."
"The user profiles could use some improvement."
"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."
"Scalability depends on the server and the number of users in the organization."
"The only thing we have found to be detrimental is when we have tried to find training. I realize that we're looking at it at the worst time possible, with a pandemic going on, but it seems that most of the training offered is learn-by-yourself online."
"The support offered by Citrix's partner needs to improve. The partner support platform should aim to provide more technical information to users."
"Latency is also a major problem when adopting Citrix for video editing software or 3D editing software, especially editing 4K video or large file size. The Citrix virtualized solution becomes too slow, so we cannot use the VDI."
