Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is how secure the solution is.""The most valuable feature is the automatic software upgrades because they take place on only three or four servers, rather than on 50 or 60 machines.""The user experience when using the solution's technology remotely is definitely superior to our VPN and/or Windows Remote Desktop. It's a much better user experience for those folks.""The tool helps me to connect with some apps of our company and resolve the tickets.""The shadow feature is extraordinary and helps a lot when supporting remote users.""Because of the solution's ubiquity, it is easier to find answers to problems than with competitive products.""The product is simple to set up, and its deep integration with Microsoft is also a valuable feature.""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."

Cons
"There are many latency and slowness issues, which are things looked after by Citrix.""The Endpoint Management solution needs improvement when it comes to mobile device management. For example, they are still not supporting Windows 10 and this feature is required by many customers.""For us, pricing is the most important feature to improve.""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.""Pricing and technical support needs improvement.""As an end-to-end solution for implementing Zero Trust principles I would rate it a six or a seven out of 10, because it doesn't cover all aspects of Zero Trust. There are quite a few aspects you need to cover.""The support offered by Citrix's partner needs to improve. The partner support platform should aim to provide more technical information to users.""The product should expand its capabilities for integrating with other environments."
