Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, Citrix and others in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)."Citrix Workspace can present desktop applications with ease, in an efficient and secure manner. The performance is good, it is a great piece of software."
"Citrix Workspace's standout feature is its flexibility."
"Getting access to the applications for which we otherwise have to be on-site is probably the biggest advantage"
"The most valuable feature is connectivity. The remote connection is the reason we are using this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Citrix Workspace is its security."
"The ease of access and the confidentiality and security that it provides is what we like best."
"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."
"With this product, everyone can have a similar kind of desktop environment."
"The remote management and location capabilities are good."
"It is easy to start something and work from scratch."
"The solution's Self-Service feature is valuable because it gives a single managed application that users can download and use based on their preferences and productivity."
"The bigger vendors like VMware, Insight, and MobileIron can assign engineers to customers. You can work with them to develop the right competency to use the product."
"We can do single sign-on and make use of the same user account to log into multiple applications."
"VMware Workspace ONE is scalable."
"The most valuable feature depends on the use case of the clients. However, one feature I like is the Kiosk Mode. In the Kiosk Mode in most cases, the clients only can make available one application developed by the solution and permit the employee or the final client to use only this one application for interaction. This provides a security control layer limiting only one application functionally."
"Sometimes, we face an issue and raise a ticket. The technical support team is fantastic and resolves the issue."
"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."
"I have noticed that the current compatibility issue with the latest version of Windows 11 is a concern for me and my client. While the client has support for Windows 11, it appears that the Citrix Workspace is only compatible with Windows 10, which does not support the newest version. This is an area that I believe could be improved upon."
"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."
"The product has some bugs, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It takes time to load."
"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 initial setup is very complex."
"The Citrix Workspace interface could improve. Additionally, if they are able to provide a mobile application"
"The reverse proxy is not intuitive and it takes time to get it right, so this is something that can be improved."
"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."
"VMware Workspace ONE platform offers support for Mac Books and we see that there is some room for improvement in that area versus all the products out there."
"We'd like more useful support."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."
"In terms of the inventory management side, as in the invoice management, the stock management and the entire inventory of an organization is lagging a bit in comparison to Blackberry or other EMM solutions."
"The integration on the application side could improve."
"Sometimes, we have challenges with remote patching and remote version upgrades."
