Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, 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."
"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."
"Troubleshooting Citrix is pretty straightforward."
"With this product, everyone can have a similar kind of desktop environment."
"The ease of access and the confidentiality and security that it provides is what we like best."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless application edition with the low-level network bandwidth because we have between 10 and 15 sites in France with a low level of communication needs. We need to deploy our main application, the ERP system, and we needed an efficient solution to provide a solution to the remote sites, with very small links between the data center and the remote site."
"From my perspective, the most valuable feature is the manageability."
"The most valuable feature of Citrix Workspace is its security."
"Good device management and good integration with third parties."
"The performance is good, and it is easy to configure."
"Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."
"The solution has a lot of capabilities, and it is easy to manage and customize."
"It's a tool that can be managed in various departments."
"We used to have a system before, Mac OS Open Directory server and this open directory became obsolete because Apple decided to stop the enterprise market, so there was no other alternative for us to use. We chose this to replace the open directory and we found that it has many more features than the previous solution. We totally rely on it right now to manage all the devices on campus."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the multi-platform support."
"The product has fully automated features that help people do tasks easily."
"The initial setup is very complex."
"Some customers find the price to be a significant factor. They have a hard time understanding the extra cost of the services"
"Citrix duplicates multiple processes."
"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 product's technical support services need improvement."
"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."
"It takes time to load."
"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."
"The integration on the application side could improve."
"They need a more flexible pricing model."
"One thing VMware needs to improve is compatibility with different operating systems."
"Patching, fixing, and training for VMware Workspace ONE are areas that need to be improved."
"There should be better compatibility with Linux devices."
"They do have a good integration, but there is a long way to go as far as integration is concerned. They need to integrate with the cloud solutions a little bit more. We are looking for Azure integration."
"Security aspects such as data loss prevention could be improved."
"From an improvement perspective, there is a need for discounts to be offered by the solution since it is something that any organization can expect from the product."
