Pros
"It has the best remote working features.""The architecture I built had a robust failover mechanism for the endpoints, and the interface was user-friendly.""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.""Relative to other solutions, Citrix has fewer conditions and fewer parameters. Citrix also provides some flexibility because it can be used on any device.""It is a stable solution. We don't usually have problems with the platform...It is a very scalable solution.""The product is stable.""Before we adopted a VDI storage solution, our customers' personal information was leaked. This happened a lot. But since we adopted a VDI solution, these kinds of issues have happened rarely.""It has very good performance in delivering 3D applications over WAN."

Cons
"We would like to be able to provide VDI, a full desktop, to each of our users.""Compared with the Outlook mobile app, the Citrix mobile app shows some lag in authentication.""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 initial setup has room for improvement.""The product should expand its capabilities for integrating with other environments.""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 is a complex solution.""Licensing service installation and configuration was the biggest challenge for all Citrix solutions, but now they have fixed a lot of issues."

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

"The integration features could be better.""Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization.""The packages that Splashtop has, tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified.""The solution should add more options and tools for shortcuts, administration, etc."
