We performed a comparison between Citrix Workspace and VMware Horizon Air based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Citrix Workspace is the virtual desktop that we can use anywhere, at any time, and without taking our laptop."
"From my perspective, the most valuable feature is the manageability."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless application edition with the low-level network bandwidth because we have between 10 and 15 sites in France with a low level of communication needs. We need to deploy our main application, the ERP system, and we needed an efficient solution to provide a solution to the remote sites, with very small links between the data center and the remote site."
"The most valuable feature is connectivity. The remote connection is the reason we are using this solution."
"The ease of access and the confidentiality and security that it provides is what we like best."
"Citrix Workspace's standout feature is its flexibility."
"It is a good product. I don't have any complaints."
"It is stable, easy to scale, and provides secure remote access."
"The solution is good for providing dedicated resources for dedicated users."
"The solution has proven to be very stable."
"The product has some bugs, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Citrix Workspace can improve by being more secure, but this would apply to any solution not only Citrix Workspace."
"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."
"It takes time to load."
"Integration with other vendors could be improved."
"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."
"This solution is resource-intensive, it takes a lot of Bandwidth and a lot of the resources of the server."
"It is slow. When everybody is logged in, it does have a tendency to slow down. You can tell the connectivity slows down a little bit, but it's still a good product."
"It's a costly product. It would help if they could offer it at a discount."
"We have experienced some connectivity issues."
