We performed a comparison between Citrix Workspace and VMware Workspace ONE based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, Citrix and others in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)."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."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"It is a stable solution."
"Troubleshooting Citrix is pretty straightforward."
"Citrix Workspace can present desktop applications with ease, in an efficient and secure manner. The performance is good, it is a great piece of software."
"Citrix Workspace's standout feature is its flexibility."
"Citrix Workspace allows you to work in a remote environment and gives you data security."
"The service dash and Workspace Environment Manager service are good features."
"The most valuable feature depends on the use case of the clients. However, one feature I like is the Kiosk Mode. In the Kiosk Mode in most cases, the clients only can make available one application developed by the solution and permit the employee or the final client to use only this one application for interaction. This provides a security control layer limiting only one application functionally."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Workspace ONE is its reliability."
"VMware Workspace ONE is scalable."
"The product enables us to access our internal applications from anywhere in the world."
"The most valuable feature is policy-driven control of the devices."
"Sometimes, we face an issue and raise a ticket. The technical support team is fantastic and resolves the issue."
"App delivery and management platform that's user-friendly, with a good interface. Easy to scale, easy to set up, with good stability."
"Workspace ONE adds a lot of value compared to Microsoft because Microsoft is a late entry into the market, and they're still developing their product from an end-user perspective. Workspace ONE has a slight edge because of AirWatch. VMware has developed its product over a longer period of time, so they have better integrations as a whole solution."
"The initial setup is very complex."
"Performance could be better if there was a low latency improvement."
"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."
"The product is currently not working well in hosting conferencing software like Zoom, Team, and Salon."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for slight improvement in performance optimization and interface refinement."
"I would like to see more service notifications."
"They could provide DLP integration for applications and specific user account security."
"The solution's pre-stage enrollment could be improved."
"Lacks a modern enterprise mobility management platform."
"The initial setup should be simplified."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"One thing VMware needs to improve is compatibility with different operating systems."
"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."
