We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it supports team clients.""For our company's customers, I feel that the product is stable.""The installation and maintenance are good.​""The app protection feature is one of the most valuable because it provides good security, as nobody is going to be able to look into your screen while you are sharing the screen. And if someone has installed a keylogger in your system, your keystrokes will be jumbled up and they would not make any sense to the keylogger. App protection is one of the coolest security features that I have encountered on any platform.""Citrix DaaS’s most valuable feature is the virtualization of applications and desktops.""The product is stable.""For the most part, overall stability is what you would expect.""This is a very stable solution which you can feel confident using."

Cons
"The cost of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is high and has room for improvement.""The initial setup is complex.""We have had issues with certain aspects, which is why we are looking for alternatives. For example, the firewall solution from Citrix is a bit complicated. Integration is hard.""Templating the deployment process could use improvement. When you start, there are a large number of details that are quite client-specific, although they do share common themes. To get somebody up and running in a day is very difficult to do. They should streamline by use case.""​There have been many issues with stability.""Tech support can be slow if you do not receive help from the US representatives.""The initial setup is complex.""There is room for improvement on the hypervisor side, providing better integration between the hypervisor and the product line. I suspect that they haven't put the work into that because of the move to the cloud. They want everything to be cloud-hosted. But for folks like us, who will always be a hybrid model, that's of some concern."

More Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service) Cons →

"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization.""The packages that Splashtop has, tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified.""The solution should add more options and tools for shortcuts, administration, etc.""The integration features could be better."
