"The scalability of the solution is quite good."
"The singular management interface is crucial, particularly for the operations team as it minimizes complexity and enhances operational efficiency."
"Nutanix Frame is easy to install, manage, and upgrade."
"The pricing of the solution and management are good features."
"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."
"Citrix should consolidate the multiple tools currently required into a single platform."
"The product advances really fast. For some customers, we need better backwards compatibility."
"The sales team does not focus on client needs but instead focuses on selling higher-priced items."
"Dependency on server virtualization after v7.x is an issue which I encountered in small environments."
"The initial setup is complex."
"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."
"Citrix has to support all of the hypervisors including KVM and OpenStack KVM."
