Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We find there are good central maintenance and central management panels.""What I like the most is the support of the GPU Graphics and the VM Live migration.""The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is very fast. It also works very well for physically small servers.""This solution allows the end users to clone, start, stop, or remotely control their VMs.""The solution's security is its most valuable aspect.""It is quite flexible and rugged. It is also easy to understand and user-friendly. It is not as complicated as some of the other solutions. It has its technicalities, but it is easy to understand. You can easily pick up in a short period of time and understand how to manage the infrastructure.""Citrix Hypervisor is quick to deploy and easy to manage.""Ability to move your virtual machines from one host to another."

"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."

Cons
"The solution would benefit from faster technical support.""The self-service user portal needs to be more granular and be more customizable.""The licensing costs are too high on the solution. They should work to make the costs more reasonable.""Assigning the order of virtual server startup is not very easy and this can be improved.""There are several areas that need improvement including the stability of the networking stack and networking management.""The solution is only in English. It would be ideal if it was in Portuguese.""Citrix Hypervisor is expensive if you get it as a stand-alone product, so this is one area for improvement. Its price could be cheaper. We also found other areas for improvement in Citrix Hypervisor, for example, we can't use SCIM provisioning, and there are limitations to the size of the HDD. Another area for improvement is the pass-through storage, in particular the removable storage, because that also has limitations where you can't connect to the drive if it is more than one TB.""The USB support for the virtual server needs improvement."
