Cons
"The interface could be improved, some customers struggle with that.""Citrix is more expensive than Horizon.""I would like to see the virtual and desktop license included in the pricing.""They need to make the solution a little more familiar with easy study guides, learning videos, etc.""Some features of Citrix ADM are available on the cloud, which could really be helpful if they were available on an on-premise version.""Deployment is complicated.""The tool's pricing is a pain point since we have many cheaper alternatives.""When a new version comes out, sometimes, my existing configuration gets wiped out. They should work on this so that my existing configuration doesn't get impacted with an upgrade to a newer version. There could also reduce frequent firmware upgrade activities and have a stable version so that once we upgrade it, we don't have to upgrade it for two to three years."

"The support from our direct team is very good, but the support from their day-to-day ongoing help desk isn't that good. They have still got some work to do on that, but they have been focusing on that a lot over the last number of years. So, it has gotten a lot better than it was.""N-able N-central could improve the remote access, my technicians have complained about it. They have used other free tools instead to compensate, such as TeamViewer. Additionally, when using remote access on the web, it is lacking reports.""There is room for improvement in the development of custom monitoring services.""The integration with other applications could be better.""The solution's overall integration should be improved."
