Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This is a very stable solution which you can feel confident using.""Citrix has had the top remote display for the last 20 years, and there is a huge technological gap between Citrix and its competitors.""It has improved delivering applications to remote locations with its lower bandwidth utilization.""Citrix offers a range of products that can be used straight out of the box.""Citrix is one of the companies that is delivering virtual apps and desktops in a big way. They are mature enough to understand the level of stability required and deliver it.""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.""Instead of pointing to any single feature, I would say the most valuable aspect of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is the overall product itself. Virtualized apps and desktops, in theory and in practice, are very helpful to users.""Among the most valuable features is the Citrix Workspace, which allows us to drive that thin-client connection and the remote control/remote access capabilities. Those things have allowed us to connect an awful lot of people quickly from home and that's obviously helped during the pandemic."

"The tool's most valuable features are pricing and easy management.""The initial setup is simple.""The ability to use mobile devices is helpful because we can support our clients from anywhere.""The solution is very fast."

Cons
"I think Citrix's support is good, but sometimes it is a little slow.""The initial setup has room for improvement.""The visibility the solution provides across SaaS, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments, for user and application traffic, is also limited if you do not enable all the services and is based on which services you are utilising. Citrix provides end-to-end visibility based on their services you are utilising.""The user profiles could use some 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 cost of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is high and has room for improvement.""There are a lot of shortfalls with supporting printing over XenApp.""They need to adapt more quickly to the latest additions to the Microsoft operating system. If Windows 10 comes out with a new version, there are compatibility issues and it takes them a lot of time to release an update."

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

"The solution should add more options and tools for shortcuts, administration, etc.""The integration features could be better.""Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization.""The packages that Splashtop has, tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified."
