"I can access it from anywhere."
"It is a good product. I don't have any complaints."
"The ease of access and the confidentiality and security that it provides is what we like best."
"Citrix Workspace allows you to work in a remote environment and gives you data security."
"From my perspective, the most valuable feature is the manageability."
"The basic virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) feature is most valuable. We were lucky to have it in place when the pandemic hit. It is used very heavily now."
"The solution has good performance and functionality. However, if the network connection was poor we noticed a decrease in performance."
"Great for desktop management, particularly when it comes to all the upgrades."
"The solution is secure."
"The solution is seamless and easy to use."
"The solution has a lot of Visual Desktop's persistent and non-persistent desktops which publish the applications."
"The solution's most valuable feature is low bandwidth consumption. It helps to improve user experience."

"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 product has some bugs, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The application is now very complex. We started with Citrix on PCs. Now, to access the same application, we need to have a StoreFront Server, the Delivery Controller, and Citrix License Server. It's now very complex."
"Some customers find the price to be a significant factor. They have a hard time understanding the extra cost of the services"
"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 lag when using Skype or Screen Sharing with multiple users needs to improve, as it makes it difficult for us to continue when we have to restart the system."
"The initial setup is very complex."
"There is room for slight improvement in performance optimization and interface refinement."
"The customer service and support team could be better."
"Considering the tool's weaknesses, the product probably has scope for some improvement in the context of how the applications or Linux operating systems are delivered using VMware Horizon View."
"VMware support is okay, but sometimes it's a little bit hit or miss trying to get somebody who knows what they're doing and talking about."
"There is room for improvement in security features."
"The initial setup is a little complicated."
"Technical support is only average and can be improved."
"I would like to see more useful monitoring within users and a more useful help desk."
"VMware Horizon View can improve by making it easier to use for first-time users. You should learn the whole concept of VMware to be able to use it."
