Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service) vs Nerdio comparison

"I use Citrix DaaS to connect to devices."

"For our company's customers, I feel that the product is stable."

"The feature that I like is that it is fast."

"The architecture I built had a robust failover mechanism for the endpoints, and the interface was user-friendly."

"ICA/HDX optimization policies."

"The App is the most valuable feature."

"The only thing that is really important for me is being able to connect from wherever I am. It is important for me because sometimes I am in places where there are not enough safe conditions to be able to work safely, in terms of security and confidentiality of my data. Being able to access internal resources from a secure platform allows me to work without fearing that my data has been stolen."

"Relative to other solutions, Citrix has fewer conditions and fewer parameters. Citrix also provides some flexibility because it can be used on any device."

"Nerdio is completely an automation platform offering auto-scaling and flexibility."

"The most valuable features of Nerdio are its automation capabilities, specifically the autoscale and auto-heal functionalities."

"The customer service from Nerdio is excellent, and I even know the CEO personally and have a positive experience, rating it nine out of ten."

"The solution is one hundred percent stable and very much straightforward."

"Citrix has undergone significant changes, primarily due to its acquisition. This acquisition impacted Citrix's value because of increased licensing costs under the new model. As a result, many customers are now considering alternatives to Citrix."

"Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is a complex solution."

"We had an issue when we were using the Citrix server. We needed to install the Citrix Runtime in the server where the application was hosted."

"The product should expand its capabilities for integrating with other environments."

"I've recently tried to use Citrix on Ubuntu, and I don't know if this is an Ubuntu issue or a vendor issue, but you can't use Citrix right now on Ubuntu 20.04."

"The solution's cost has almost doubled this year, and it could be made cheaper."

"Where improvement could be driven is in terms of clarity as to the functionality of some of the solutions. If you go back to the older Citrix Xen products that we had, we understood those really well. As we've come into the new workstation premium suite, there is a lot of additional functionality that we perhaps have not yet fully exploited. It is not because we can't, but simply because we don't yet understand the depth of functionality that's offered."

"The product’s customization feature needs improvement."

"They should start providing the certifications on Nerdio for training and enhancements, mainly for the open community of IT."

"The auto-heal functionality needs improvement. Currently, the feature is limited because it only allows one heal condition and doesn't support multiple triggers."

"They should start providing the certifications on Nerdio for training and enhancements, mainly for the open community of IT."

"The auto-heal functionality needs improvement."

"Implementing Citrix DaaS with thin clients, rather than physical laptops, has resulted in savings of 27% to 29%. Additionally, moving 1,000 users from physical laptops to thin clients and VDI solutions can save around 40,000 kilograms of carbon emissions, benefiting both the environment and the company's economy, provided thin clients are used."

"My company opts for the yearly subscription model to pay towards the licensing costs attached to the solution."

"Their licensing model used to be on a per-year basis, where you would negotiate the cost per user for a year. For instance, if you had 25,000 users, you could negotiate the cost accordingly. However, they are transitioning to a subscription-based model where the cost is incurred monthly."

"I don't quite remember the specifics of what we had. I believe we had a 25-user license, and I don't recall it being overly expensive."

"The tool is expensive."

"If one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the tool's price a three."

"Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is an expensive solution."

"The Citrix license model has changed. It costs around $240 per user for a single username, but a concurrent license costs double."
