"Citrix Hypervisor is expensive if you get it as a stand-alone product, so this is one area for improvement. Its price could be cheaper. We also found other areas for improvement in Citrix Hypervisor, for example, we can't use SCIM provisioning, and there are limitations to the size of the HDD. Another area for improvement is the pass-through storage, in particular the removable storage, because that also has limitations where you can't connect to the drive if it is more than one TB."
"I think the technical support could be better."
"I would like the possibility of updating the hypervisor by applying security patches."
"Citrix could provide more tools to help the client manage the solution because we need to build our own tools in some cases. Everything is available through PowerShell, but then you need to build your own scripts to do the more advanced work."
"Network management needs improvement because it is not very stable."
"The product could be faster and licensing options could be improved."
"Overall, I can't think of a feature that is lacking. We've been pretty satisfied overall."

"It's not as robust as server platforms, nor does it need to be."
"We're working with them to be able to allow the local USB ports to be ported over to the remote desktop, running VirtualBox."
"The communications setup lags. It does not connect properly so the batching and networking is a bit slow."
"The AI and the UI could be improved. The user interface is a little outdated and the AI is not very attractive."
