Cons
"The sales team does not focus on client needs but instead focuses on selling higher-priced items.""The user profiles could use some improvement.""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.""The product advances really fast. For some customers, we need better backwards compatibility.""The support offered by Citrix's partner needs to improve. The partner support platform should aim to provide more technical information to users.""The monitoring and management is in need of improvement.""The product should expand its capabilities for integrating with other environments.""​There have been many issues with stability."

More Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service) Cons →

"It would be highly beneficial if they could offer a version that is entirely on-premises, eliminating the need for cloud connection except for data access.""The solution can be made faster and it should improve performance wise.""The solution’s pricing could be improved.""As the solution is not completely straightforward, you do need some experience to configure and implement it."
