Find out what your peers are saying about TeamViewer, Microsoft, Citrix and others in Remote Access."It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it supports team clients."
"First of all, the manageability of the applications for publishing is valuable. Second, it is about being able to run the applications on all main platforms. Third, its licensing is valuable. You can either switch to the cloud and keep on-prem. You can work with this hybrid scenario."
"It is a stable solution. We don't usually have problems with the platform...It is a very scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is the security and it is easy to work with."
"The app protection feature is one of the most valuable because it provides good security, as nobody is going to be able to look into your screen while you are sharing the screen. And if someone has installed a keylogger in your system, your keystrokes will be jumbled up and they would not make any sense to the keylogger. App protection is one of the coolest security features that I have encountered on any platform."
"XenDesktop has helped our users to work remotely with a better user experience."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic software upgrades because they take place on only three or four servers, rather than on 50 or 60 machines."

"The most valuable features are that it is consistently low profile and consistently works without hiccups or headaches."
"The support offered by Citrix's partner needs to improve. The partner support platform should aim to provide more technical information to users."
"Where improvement could be driven is in terms of clarity as to the functionality of some of the solutions. If you go back to the older Citrix Xen products that we had, we understood those really well. As we've come into the new workstation premium suite, there is a lot of additional functionality that we perhaps have not yet fully exploited. It is not because we can't, but simply because we don't yet understand the depth of functionality that's offered."
"Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops are not easy to set up. However, I have the experience and I can do it easily. It could be easier to set up."
"The sales team does not focus on client needs but instead focuses on selling higher-priced items."
"Pricing can be lower and roaming profiles need to be fixed to work consistently."
"Dependency on server virtualization after v7.x is an issue which I encountered in small environments."
"When I needed support for a couple of things, three people intervened. Each time, three people gave me a different answer. In the end, they did not manage to give the right answer. At a certain point, they stopped replying."
"I think Citrix's support is good, but sometimes it is a little slow."
