Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature has to be the non-persistent desktop. If one of my users messes something up and blows away their desktop, it goes back to what it was originally, before they had an issue.""Citrix is used by many organizations to make it possible to streamline the way different developers work together from different locations.""Because of the solution's ubiquity, it is easier to find answers to problems than with competitive products.""It has very good performance in delivering 3D applications over WAN.""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.""It virtualizes the application on your desktop.""The shadow feature is extraordinary and helps a lot when supporting remote users.""The remote desktop feature allows employees to work from home."

Cons
"It would help if it were a little simpler. It's a bit complicated and we have hired Citrix administrators. But it's a good solution.""There are a lot of shortfalls with supporting printing over XenApp.""Scalability depends on the server and the number of users in the organization.""The speed and connectivity of Citrix DaaS could be improved.""We would like to be able to provide VDI, a full desktop, to each of our users.""The support offered by Citrix's partner needs to improve. The partner support platform should aim to provide more technical information to users.""Pricing and technical support needs improvement.""Their customer support can be improved a lot as it lacks a lot of knowledgeable help."
