"The product is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is the security and it is easy to work with."
"The Provisioning Services are the most valuable feature. We have Premium licensing, so Provisioning Services is huge for us, along with the Virtual Apps and Desktops part. It allows us to have a vDisk for every region, one that can easily be copied between them if we need to, to limit the amount of updates we have to do."
"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 has improved delivering applications to remote locations with its lower bandwidth utilization."
"Citrix is used by many organizations to make it possible to streamline the way different developers work together from different locations."
"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."

"The most valuable features are that it is consistently low profile and consistently works without hiccups or headaches."
"The product’s customization feature needs improvement."
"I think Citrix's support is good, but sometimes it is a little slow."
"They need to adapt more quickly to the latest additions to the Microsoft operating system. If Windows 10 comes out with a new version, there are compatibility issues and it takes them a lot of time to release an update."
"Their customer support can be improved a lot as it lacks a lot of knowledgeable help."
"Compared with the Outlook mobile app, the Citrix mobile app shows some lag in authentication."
"The only thing we have found to be detrimental is when we have tried to find training. I realize that we're looking at it at the worst time possible, with a pandemic going on, but it seems that most of the training offered is learn-by-yourself online."
"Pricing and technical support needs improvement."
"I have to re-enter my user password when I am not using the tool for some time around ten minutes. I want to also improve the need to download other Citrix apps."
