"The most impressive thing about Citrix ADM is that we don't encounter latency."
"An essential component is the Director, which provides detailed insights into sessions, including identifying session failures, connection issues, user lockouts, etc. It presents a list of problems to address, enabling you to click on them and resolve them efficiently."
"We use the product for load balancing and as a reverse proxy solution."
"The most valuable features are for the ADMs and the overall monitoring environment."
"The analytics are a great feature."
"We like the periodic upgrades and backups, also made via ADMs, and it makes our environment much more robust and reliable."
"Available on any device and can be accessed on a wide area network."
"The presentation layer is pretty simple and straightforward."
"Allows us to have a single console/notification point, with the alarms of all the tools that we use for monitoring."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"The capability of handling and monitoring with SNMP and working with the SNMP traps is much better than other products."
"It is easy to understand and determine when and/or where the network is failing."
"The quick notification of issues, quick alerting because timeliness is always valuable, it's very important for us."
"It helps our NetOps group actually handle alarms in a way that lets them see the bigger picture of those alarms, and how they might affect our services. It helps us communicate information about the network state better to services that might be impacted by a specific network condition."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"Citrix is more expensive than Horizon."
"Some features of Citrix ADM are available on the cloud, which could really be helpful if they were available on an on-premise version."
"They need to make the solution a little more familiar with easy study guides, learning videos, etc."
"I would like to see the virtual and desktop license included in the pricing."
"When a new version comes out, sometimes, my existing configuration gets wiped out. They should work on this so that my existing configuration doesn't get impacted with an upgrade to a newer version. There could also reduce frequent firmware upgrade activities and have a stable version so that once we upgrade it, we don't have to upgrade it for two to three years."
"The interface could be improved, some customers struggle with that."
"Deployment is complicated."
"Citrix ADM needs to improve on its additional features and reduce the communication ports."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"It's not a great performance management tool. Its reporting capabilities are not very good at all."
"I would recommend AI capability built-in so it becomes more predictable and we jump ahead of the curve. This is the one really important feature I would really like to see in any product that provides alarms."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"If they could interact with the MIBs of vendors better, and have a lot more pre-loaded ones, that would be amazing for us right now."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"Needs better integration with all the other products in the Agile suite of tools; anything they could do to make that less complex, would be great."
