We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"You can connect to any printer, and from anywhere you can print documents using a compressed channel. It is easy and the bandwidth is very low.""The tool helps me to connect with some apps of our company and resolve the tickets.""Citrix has had the top remote display for the last 20 years, and there is a huge technological gap between Citrix and its competitors.""Citrix Virtual Apps is the most valuable feature. Many customers use this feature to publish only applications, and not the full desktop. They can publish the internal resource or allow the end-user to reach a site or an application without having the full desktop. That's why they love this feature. It helps them save on resources.""Citrix is one of the companies that is delivering virtual apps and desktops in a big way. They are mature enough to understand the level of stability required and deliver it.""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.""It has improved delivering applications to remote locations with its lower bandwidth utilization.""The most valuable feature is how secure the solution is."

"It allows us to improve our security and prevent company files and data leaks.""We don't need to go to the physical office, and it only requires minimal supervision or assistance from our IT Team.""Since the software is launched directly from the computer, not remotely delivered, it has minimized latency and response time."

Cons
"I think Citrix's support is good, but sometimes it is a little slow.""The product advances really fast. For some customers, we need better backwards compatibility.""Citrix has to support all of the hypervisors including KVM and OpenStack KVM.""Scalability depends on the server and the number of users in the organization.""For us, pricing is the most important feature to improve.""My only issue with Citrix is that they frequently rebrand their products. I'm using the app and everything is fine but after a couple of years, it's entirely different. There were an enormous number of Citrix tools readily available. My immediate concern was selecting the correct ones.""The monitoring and management is in need of improvement.""The initial setup has room for improvement."

More Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service) Cons →

"It would be better to have the back end more efficient.""We'd like to see a bit more done with the deployment capabilities.""Currently, Venn only uses two platforms/applications: Windows and Mac. It would be great if they could also add more platforms since some BYOD employees might be using an application other than Windows or Mac - for example, Linux."
