Find out what your peers are saying about Citrix, Microsoft, VMware and others in Application Virtualization."XenApp is a fast, secure and reliable solution for remote connections that is completely different than and superior to older Windows solutions."
"We can provide tons of applications with different settings, behaviors, and operating systems. It is the same way for the user. Then, we are totally transparent for the user to use a lot of totally different applications, which is the most important part of Citrix today."
"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."
"The tool helps me to connect with some apps of our company and resolve the tickets."
"You can connect to any printer, and from anywhere you can print documents using a compressed channel. It is easy and the bandwidth is very low."
"The product is stable."
"ICA/HDX optimization policies."
"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."

"Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."
"We've found the solution to be easy to use."
"For me, the integration of AirWatch with various enterprise components is something I like. The way they are partnering with various services, like security services, or some of the big guys like Google, Android, Apple, and including Microsoft; that's really awesome. And the way they look at providing functionality to create self-service and automation, that's really usefully and beneficial. That's where I see they differentiate themselves."
"The platform makes the mobile device management process straightforward to handle."
"It has good stability."
"It's a tool that can be managed in various departments."
"AirWatch has one of the best User Interfaces and it's quite easy to figure out where particular items are within the menu system."
"VMware Workspace ONE has been stable so far."
"Direct connection of USB devices on the terminals to be used by streamed applications is very important for printing and the usage of token authentication, but the current version does not support this one hundred percent."
"The support offered by Citrix's partner needs to improve. The partner support platform should aim to provide more technical information to users."
"When I needed support for a couple of things, three people intervened. Each time, three people gave me a different answer. In the end, they did not manage to give the right answer. At a certain point, they stopped replying."
"The monitoring and management is in need of improvement."
"Using the app layering feature can be quite difficult and cumbersome."
"Dependency on server virtualization after v7.x is an issue which I encountered in small environments."
"I have to re-enter my user password when I am not using the tool for some time around ten minutes. I want to also improve the need to download other Citrix apps."
"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."

"When we had some issues, the support did not respond quickly, and they did not provide a solution."
"They could provide DLP integration for applications and specific user account security."
"We'd like the customization to be better."
"I'd like to see more integration capabilities in future releases."
