A cost-effective and streamlined virtual desktop infrastructure solution with a user-friendly interface and simplified management
The singular management interface is crucial, particularly for the operations team as it minimizes complexity and enhances operational efficiency. The simplicity of the management tools is a key highlight, especially when compared to other solutions like Citrix, where there is often complexity due to various components such as controllers, storefronts, and different servers.

Pros

"Nutanix Frame is easy to install, manage, and upgrade."
"The singular management interface is crucial, particularly for the operations team as it minimizes complexity and enhances operational efficiency."
"The pricing of the solution and management are good features."
"The scalability of the solution is quite good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution has been security."
"VMware has a lot of experience in virtualization — they are the pioneers in virtualization."
"It is easy to maintain."
"I appreciate the ability to have a more centralized environment."
"VMware Horizon View is an easy-to-use solution."
"It is easy to scale. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"The solution has data leak prevention features that ensure data is not copied from the base machine to VDI, and API copyright capabilities."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to set it up, and the user experience it provides is just like a normal desktop."
 

Cons

"It would be highly beneficial if they could offer a version that is entirely on-premises, eliminating the need for cloud connection except for data access."
"The solution can be made faster and it should improve performance wise."
"As the solution is not completely straightforward, you do need some experience to configure and implement it."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The majority of things in VMware Horizon can be done only in Windows and not in Linux. There are Linux customers who would like to use VMware Horizon's features."
"In the latest versions, the deployment of certificates on the console has been implemented. Although it is functional, it is not working as well as I would like. I hope this feature can be improved in the future."
"It would be beneficial to see improvements in client-side functionalities, especially for some Linux clients."
"The initial setup was not difficult but there is room for improvement."
"Deployment and configuration could be simplified."
"Along with the high pricing, the profile synchronization mechanism also needs improvement."
"The product's initial setup process could be easier."
"I would like to see simple load-balancing for smaller environments that lack large solutions like F5, or NSX; it should be redundant or unavailable but in a simple way. Perhaps limited to only two components; if more are required, a paid load balancing solution can be used. Load balancing for simple environments, or simple redundancy, is sorely lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"VMware Horizon View pricing is high compared to other solutions. I rate it two out of ten. Its licensing costs are monthly."
"It falls on the more expensive end in terms of cost."
"Pricing for Horizon is relatively high, earning a rating of one out of ten."
