"I find it very easy to manage and at a cost that small customers would never refuse (free)."
"The solution integrates well with other solutions, which makes it really strong as a primary solution to deploy."
"The compatibility of the solution is its most valuable feature. It's compatible on almost every cloud these days."
"The price is the solution's most valuable feature."
"Citrix Hypervisor is simple to use."
"The versatility, simplicity, and stability of the product are it's most valuable features."
"I like that it is free and runs on Linux/Ubuntu - I wouldn't use any other solution. I am able to perform small developing tests."
"This is a highly scalable solution."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution were the support and performance of the product and the flexibility it gives you to work."

"I am not very sure about how flexible Citrix Hypervisor is with different types of infrastructures. I only know it is flexible with Nutanix, but I am not sure if it is also flexible with others. They can make its integration with other platforms or OEMs easy. They should also make it easy for users to manage their infrastructure. Citrix should make compatibility information related to a hypervisor easily available in a datasheet. Citrix isn't really recognized in this part of the world, and they need to expand their solution and make it more available. There are a lot of customers and companies that are looking for a solution like Citrix, and it should be available in this part of the world. They need to educate people more. Technically, it is good and flexible and has good ability, but it is not as much known as VMware or Microsoft. Their support should also be improved. Currently, if you don't have an updated version, they will not give you the attention."
"There are several areas that need improvement including the stability of the networking stack and networking management."
"The self-service user portal needs to be more granular and be more customizable."
"Network management needs improvement because it is not very stable."
"Assigning the order of virtual server startup is not very easy and this can be improved."
"Overall, I can't think of a feature that is lacking. We've been pretty satisfied overall."
"Oracle VM VirtualBox doesn't work properly with an antivirus tool."
"It's not as robust as server platforms, nor does it need to be."
"The communications setup lags. It does not connect properly so the batching and networking is a bit slow."
"This should have better support for multiple network cards and some parts of the GUI should be improved."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"I think that this solution should be more user-friendly."
"One valuable feature would be for it to work right the first time but it doesn't necessarily do that."
"There are a few bugs that need to be updated."
