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 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."
"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 ease of access and the confidentiality and security that it provides is what we like best."
"The most valuable feature of Citrix Workspace is its security."
"The feature that I like is that it is fast."
"Ability to connect remotely."
"It is a good product. I don't have any complaints."
"From my perspective, the most valuable feature is the manageability."
"Ability to log in from anywhere and from a variety of devices."

"The product's technical support services need improvement."
"Performance could be better if there was a low latency improvement."
"This solution is resource-intensive, it takes a lot of Bandwidth and a lot of the resources of the server."
"I've recently tried to use Citrix on Ubuntu, and I don't know if this is an Ubuntu issue or a vendor issue, but you can't use Citrix right now on Ubuntu 20.04."
"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 Citrix Workspace interface could improve. Additionally, if they are able to provide a mobile application"
"If there are connectivity issues, there are stability issues."

"In the future, I would like to see better support for application virtualization."
"The solution must be faster and smoother."
"The issue now with VMware is that we don't know the future of the solution. Because if you follow the news, it was acquired by another company, and they are changing the old product line."
"The system integration also needs some improvement."
"In the area of automation, there are some improvements needed in the solution."
