Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, Citrix and others in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)."VMware Player helps you to virtualize and install Ubuntu or any other operating system, even on a Windows laptop."
"VMware Player's best feature is the ability to run different OS's simultaneously."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Player is the ability to snapshot with or without memory."
"It's really easy to build testing environments with VMware Player."
"The solution's technical support team is excellent."
"The initial setup is easy and the deployment doesn't take too long."
"The solution's Self-Service feature is valuable because it gives a single managed application that users can download and use based on their preferences and productivity."
"The solution can scale."
"The platform provides a stable environment for operations and quickly creates new environments. Additionally, it offers efficient flexibility."
"People who want to adopt this solution may be thinking about it from the end-user's perspective, but this solution is also very friendly for the people who manage it. It's administration-friendly."
"App delivery and management platform that's user-friendly, with a good interface. Easy to scale, easy to set up, with good stability."
"Remote management is most valuable. It allows you to manage multiple types of devices. It is not just limited to laptops or desktops. You can also manage IoT devices. If a device is lost or stolen, you can easily take control of the device without letting any information get leaked."
"Sometimes, we face an issue and raise a ticket. The technical support team is fantastic and resolves the issue."
"Its networking features need improvement."
"VMware Player should provide a cloud version with no limitations to hardware resources."
"VMware Player isn't downgradable, so if you have a later set of VMs, you need to upgrade it or figure out a workaround."
"When you go to work on a server, it opens up the whole window, and that causes an error inside VMware Player."
"The tool has limited scalability."
"The console comes bunched together as a package and inbuilt. Its called Workspace ONE. Whenever we have an issue, we contact the service provider, and instead of a fix, we are just getting the next version of Workspace ONE."
"They need a more flexible pricing model."
"Integration with Microsoft needs improvement. There are some dependencies with Microsoft that aren't 100% yet, for example: compliance synchronization."
"From an identity perspective, there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to integration with other solutions. I would say it needs more capabilities in terms of direct integrations, including cloud identity solution integrations."
"Windows 10 management is there, but VMware only recently developed that part, and it's not fully mature. Patch management and other integrations are there as well as the application-pushing part, command line, mandatory commands, etc. Some out-of-the-box solutions should be available to better integrate a broader range of applications and handle application push. That's the roadmap we should look at."
"The only downside to the solution is that the dashboard is very confusing."
"Setup is not too complex."
"We'd like the customization to be better."
