Find out in this report how the two Server Virtualization Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can easily migrate VMs from one host to another."
"What I find most valuable in Citrix Hypervisor is its licensing policy, because you'll get it for free if you buy a Citrix XenDesktop license. You don't need to spend additional money on the Citrix Hypervisor because you can manage both the Citrix XenDesktop and the Citrix Hypervisor with just one license, so you can save on cost. I also like that the solution is good support-wise. Hardware support is also faster compared to other solutions."
"Citrix Hypervisor is simple to use."
"I've found the following features to be the most valuable: user personalization layer, app layering, provisioning, and notification services for integration between different domains."
"The onboarding process is pretty straightforward."
"The solution's security is its most valuable aspect."
"Citrix Hypervisor is quick to deploy and easy to manage."
"Scripting can automate procedures."
"It is a stable product."
"The scalability of the solution is very good."
"The configuration and installation is pretty straightforward."
"This product is extremely easy to install, use, has a great GUI and is incredibly stable."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the ability to manage multiple operating systems through one application."
"This solution creates a snapshot of virtual machines so you can create test environments."
"The solution has high performance and is easy to use."
"The solution is very stable."
"There are several areas that need improvement including the stability of the networking stack and networking management."
"The interface has to be updated."
"The main problem with Citrix Hypervisor is getting readily available backup solutions for it. It would be wonderful if Hypervisor were better integrated with third-party backup solutions."
"I find that the features in Citrix Hypervisor are not as rich as with VMware. It would be a benefit if they had some of the other features VMware has, such as the ability to expand a drive on the fly. You do not have to take down the machine to do it but in Citrix you do."
"The solution would benefit from faster technical support."
"It needs to have a more robust backup solution."
"Integration with other vendors and other applications could be improved."
"Network management needs improvement because it is not very stable."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"This should have better support for multiple network cards and some parts of the GUI should be improved."
"One valuable feature would be for it to work right the first time but it doesn't necessarily do that."
"I think that this solution should be more user-friendly."
"The communications setup lags. It does not connect properly so the batching and networking is a bit slow."
"The memory and hardware usage could be a little bit lighter. Right now, it's quite heavy on the usage. The CPU usage should be lower."
"The solution needs to improve the methods used for starting and stopping the machine."
"The solution has to do a better job of promoting the product and its licensing capabilities."
