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."The connection is compressed so we don't need a lot of resources to run it."
"Client compatibility with many systems makes it very versatile. The reporting that is included is awesome."
"The solution is powerful, and it has good speed and performance."
"It provides flexible access to Windows applications from many types of devices."
"Allows us to publish applications accessible by current-generation HTML5 browser or OS-specific client (Windows, Android, iOS), and it supports popular single sign-on and multi-factor authentication protocols."
"Simplicity of the interface is a valuable feature."
"Its price and ease of use are the most valuable. It is simple and has good performance."
"It has allowed us to centralize the software location so we don't have to update the software client on 70 computers."
"sdfgdfg"
"It is easy to maintain."
"The most valuable feature is that VMware Horizon is easy to setup."
"Users can log in from anywhere and from a variety of devices."
"VMware Horizon View is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of VMware Horizon View technology is easier to use and is user-friendly with the customers."
"The product helped us deploy complex applications."
"VMware Horizon View is an easy-to-use solution."
"From a seller's point of view, there are a lot of things that they could do better in the sales cycle."
"The solution's application virtualization feature needs improvement."
"We have had significant, ongoing issues with printing. It would be great to have a best practice for dealing with printing that we can offer to our customers."
"Improvement is needed in performance monitoring of the client's endpoint, and automatic re-connection of the client in the event of circuit disruptions (this works well generally but can present challenges)."
"Generally, it is a very good solution. The main thing that I would improve is their presence here in Mexico. They don't have strong local support here in Mexico. They should have a worldwide presence so that we don't have to do everything through the people in the US. The initial setup was a little bit complex because we were migrating from Citrix. For customers who are migrating from another platform like VMware or Citrix, it would be great if they can provide an automated migration solution."
"If the solution crashes, then all the customers connected through that agent, lose their session."
"Sometimes you need to understand how to use load balancing and the gateway in order to scale, which means the team may need some additional technical knowledge."
"We would like the ability to provide a popup message, such as a maintenance notification. That same notification on the Parallels client would be awesome."
"The system integration also needs some improvement."
"The issue now with VMware is that we don't know the future of the solution. Because if you follow the news, it was acquired by another company, and they are changing the old product line."
"There should be a function where one can connect and work; whenever not required, one can deprovision it."
"The initial startup costs for this solution are relatively high."
"Sometimes we had to force values so the end-user could continue working, which caused some information to get lost."
"Reporting could be improved, we currently have to export manually."
"VMware Horizon View needs to improve orchestration and integrate additional images. I would also like to see its statistics."
"Deployment and configuration could be simplified."
