Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, VMware, Citrix and others in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)."The initial setup of Cisco VXI is straightforward."
"Citrix offers a range of products that can be used straight out of the box."
"The architecture I built had a robust failover mechanism for the endpoints, and the interface was user-friendly."
"Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is a stable solution."
"Citrix DaaS’s most valuable feature is the virtualization of applications and desktops."
"The product is simple to set up, and its deep integration with Microsoft is also a valuable feature."
"The Provisioning Services are the most valuable feature. We have Premium licensing, so Provisioning Services is huge for us, along with the Virtual Apps and Desktops part. It allows us to have a vDisk for every region, one that can easily be copied between them if we need to, to limit the amount of updates we have to do."
"The App is the most valuable feature."
"The installation and maintenance are good."

"When using Cisco VXI in virtual environments there tends to be a lot of bugs with files you have to deploy across the virtual environment. You configure for hours, and then there is a bug that stops you, and you notice that you wasted hours."
"The product should expand its capabilities for integrating with other environments."
"Dependency on server virtualization after v7.x is an issue which I encountered in small environments."
"Pricing can be lower and roaming profiles need to be fixed to work consistently."
"Latency is also a major problem when adopting Citrix for video editing software or 3D editing software, especially editing 4K video or large file size. The Citrix virtualized solution becomes too slow, so we cannot use the VDI."
"The initial setup is complex."
"I think improvement around the Analytics piece is super important. There has been a lot of maturity over the last year in that area, though a lot more needs to be done. Also, a lot more of the value of those Analytics needs to be sold to end users. Citrix is working on a lot of things that are ahead of the curve and a lot of organizations aren't quite there yet with implementing those technologies and capabilities."
"We encounter compatibility issues related to hardware, scanners, and other devices."
"Tech support can be slow if you do not receive help from the US representatives."
