Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Microsoft, Citrix and others in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)."Its user-friendliness is most valuable. It was easy to log in and navigate. Some of such solutions are not very user-friendly, but this one was."
"It is a good product. I don't have any complaints."
"Citrix Workspace allows you to work in a remote environment and gives you data security."
"The service dash and Workspace Environment Manager service are good features."
"Getting access to the applications for which we otherwise have to be on-site is probably the biggest advantage"
"With this product, everyone can have a similar kind of desktop environment."
"The feature that I like is that it is fast."
"The most valuable feature of Citrix Workspace is its security."
"It's a tool that can be managed in various departments."
"It is like any other mobile solution. It gives us the ability to control remotely, and that is what we like. We can wipe out and deploy remotely."
"The most valuable features are the ones that control the leaking."
"I found the initial setup to be easy."
"You can upgrade and migrate the existing group policies that we use for VMware Workspace ONE for the active directory. We can push the policies and group policies. We can migrate it and manage it from VMware Workspace ONE."
"We recently integrated Workspace ONE with our intelligence report, and this is a great tool from a reporting point of view. In our daily business, we get several requests from businesses to provide an Adobe request for monitoring, whether it is for Android or iOS devices. The main benefit of this tool is that we can exclude the report for applications."
"The performance is good, and it is easy to configure."
"VMware Workspace ONE is a platform that's really good at monitoring and managing mobile endpoints. It can be set up quickly and implemented easily. Technical support for this solution has always been good."
"Performance could be better if there was a low latency improvement."
"If there are connectivity issues, there are stability issues."
"They can simplify the process of printers. Printers were quite a difficult issue. It took us a long time to iron this issue out. We have the most simple use case where people connect from home to either a virtual machine or their physical desktop. We tried more complex solutions like Machine Creation Services, and they were more overhead than they were worth for us. I found them difficult to work with and confusing, and they were not worth the work for us."
"The ITSM adapters need to be enhanced."
"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."
"It is slow. When everybody is logged in, it does have a tendency to slow down. You can tell the connectivity slows down a little bit, but it's still a good product."
"Citrix Workspace can improve by being more secure, but this would apply to any solution not only Citrix Workspace."
"We're running into all kinds of speed issues and reliability issues. There are frequent disconnects, and we're not sure whether that's a problem with the product, with the way the product has been deployed, or with server capacity or bandwidth. Our IT department pays attention to that, but we are feeling the impact of that."
"Its performance is quite good on Apple phones or even mid-range phones. If you install an AirWatch on a phone that is not too powerful, you will have performance issues. That's only because the phone is not too powerful, and there is not enough memory, etc. They could do a lighter version for a less powerful phone. It would also be useful for very small companies that don't want to spend money on expensive phones. Having said that, I don't think that is their target market. If their target market is enterprise, all enterprises perhaps have an agreement with Google or Apple, and they would get a phone that has already been tested, and they know that AirWatch will work on that phone."
"The SaaS environment is not very responsive at times, so the performance can be improved in that regard."
"I would like to see more service notifications."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"We'd like the customization to be better."
"Lacks a modern enterprise mobility management platform."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"I'd like to see expanded device support, particularly for IoT things like SCADA devices."
