We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Citrix has had the top remote display for the last 20 years, and there is a huge technological gap between Citrix and its competitors.""The solution provides everything in one integrated platform. When it comes to monitoring their solution, it is really easy. We have all the information in one place so we can have the right information at the right moment. We can be proactive when it comes to dealing with performance, maintenance, and security issues.""Because of the solution's ubiquity, it is easier to find answers to problems than with competitive products.""The installation and maintenance are good.​""Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is a stable solution.""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.""It is user-friendly and easy to use.""The most valuable feature is the ability to connect to our on-premise applications, through the Workspace app and the Workspace experience. The user experience when using the solution's technology remotely is good. Our users are able to work and it's seamless. The performance is also good."

Cons
"Citrix should consolidate the multiple tools currently required into a single platform.""For us, pricing is the most important feature to improve.""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.""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.""I think Citrix's support is good, but sometimes it is a little slow.""Their customer support can be improved a lot as it lacks a lot of knowledgeable help.""Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is a complex solution.""Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops are not easy to set up. However, I have the experience and I can do it easily. It could be easier to set up."
