We performed a comparison between Citrix Workspace and VMware Horizon View based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Getting access to the applications for which we otherwise have to be on-site is probably the biggest advantage"
"Citrix Workspace's standout feature is its flexibility."
"The ease of access and the confidentiality and security that it provides is what we like best."
"The service dash and Workspace Environment Manager service are good features."
"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."
"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."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Citrix Workspace is its security."
"Horizon View provides virtual desktops on demand."
"Instant Clone instantly creates another VM with a Delta disk, which is just the VMware backend. This helps with scalability and management."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The solution is very user friendly."
"I use the solution in my company for the area of VDI, consisting of multiple applications and allowing users the flexibility to use the applications on mobile devices."
"sdfgdfg"
"The solution's most valuable aspect is the VDI - the remote virtual desktop interface."
"VMware Horizon View is easy to configure and deploy."
"If there are connectivity issues, there are stability issues."
"We had an issue when we were using the Citrix server. We needed to install the Citrix Runtime in the server where the application was hosted."
"Performance could be better if there was a low latency improvement."
"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."
"Citrix Workspace can improve by being more secure, but this would apply to any solution not only Citrix Workspace."
"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."
"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."
"The Citrix Workspace interface could improve. Additionally, if they are able to provide a mobile application"
"Lacks sufficiently robust audio redirections."
"The integration could be improved."
"VMware Horizon View needs to improve orchestration and integrate additional images. I would also like to see its statistics."
"Considering the tool's weaknesses, the product probably has scope for some improvement in the context of how the applications or Linux operating systems are delivered using VMware Horizon View."
"We would like to see better performance with the product."
"Deployment and configuration could be simplified."
"The storage expansion in the product is a bit difficult to manage, especially when I have to modify a storage requirement of a particular area since it comes across as a complex job."
"The tool is not future-proof anymore."
