Find out what your peers are saying about TeamViewer, Microsoft, Citrix and others in Remote Access."We've been able to scale the environment quite nicely by using the Citrix Remote PC. I can't say enough about that. And because that relies on utilizing your existing hardware resources, and making those available as a part of your Citrix farm — with a second level of authentication and security pieces around it — we added some 4,000 workstations without an additional overhead or cost."
"The most valuable feature is how secure the solution is."
"The product is stable."

"The solution is perfect for Linux users."
"The cost of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is high and has room for improvement."
"If anything could be improved, it might be some of the Director functionality, and some of the dashboard customization, or the overall Director customization."
"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."
"The support offered by Citrix's partner needs to improve. The partner support platform should aim to provide more technical information to users."

"We encounter compatibility issues related to hardware, scanners, and other devices."
"It would help if it were a little simpler. It's a bit complicated and we have hired Citrix administrators. But it's a good solution."
