"RDM has enabled me to do most of my work in one place. This helps me be able to have an RDP session open to a server in one tab and an SSH session open to a VMware host in another."
"The ability to have all the connection information in one location saves so much time from trying to manage the same information across different applications."
"Citrix has to support all of the hypervisors including KVM and OpenStack KVM."

More Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service) Cons →
"If there was a way to streamline the process, it would make it nice."
"On complex setups, I actually needed to reach out to support to get it working correctly."
"The filing system of connections is a little clunky, but is completely functional."
"There are always bugs to squash, beyond that, it is really kind of difficult for new users to discover and use many of the features due to the bewildering array of choices and ways to do things."
"The only complaint I have heard is there are too many updates. Each time there is an update (the app prompts to upgrade), it can be time consuming, especially when sometimes there are multiple updates per week."
"Security roles could be improved, especially by enabling renaming of a role."
"Sometimes when updating, the install window is on top of the prompt to close the application."
"The RDM client (.NET issue, actually) can stall or lock up while it clears communication threads to the server."
