Find out in this report how the two Desktop as a Service (DaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The Provisioning Services are the most valuable feature. We have Premium licensing, so Provisioning Services is huge for us, along with the Virtual Apps and Desktops part. It allows us to have a vDisk for every region, one that can easily be copied between them if we need to, to limit the amount of updates we have to do."
"Security is a shining point of the Citrix Workspace. Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is a very robust solution when security is a concern. Furthermore, the content collaboration data-hosting that Citrix integrates with Virtual Apps and Desktops is among the best there is."
"It provides all of the features required for the protection of data. For example, we don't want to allow any copy/paste of data to an outside environment, and we are able to restrict the VDI to not allow any data transfer from the VDI to the local laptop's hard drives. That is one of the greatest advantages the solution provides."
"It provides the flexibility of being used on any device which makes the employee experience better, in terms of ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is how secure the solution is."
"It has improved delivering applications to remote locations with its lower bandwidth utilization."
"I found the ease of deployment, scalability, and security to be to our benefit when supplying virtual applications to our clients."
"The most valuable feature is the gateway to a remote connection, to a physical or a virtual PC. Compared to a normal VPN client and connection, the connection via Citrix is more stable and does not consume as much network bandwidth."

"As an end-to-end solution for implementing Zero Trust principles I would rate it a six or a seven out of 10, because it doesn't cover all aspects of Zero Trust. There are quite a few aspects you need to cover."
"The solution's technical support is not so good."
"Citrix should consolidate the multiple tools currently required into a single platform."
