More Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service) Pros →
"The most valuable features are automated deployment and transparent movement for virtual machines over all our locations."
"The improvement to our organization is managing all our KVM-based virtual machines in a management environment."
"Latency is also a major problem when adopting Citrix for video editing software or 3D editing software, especially editing 4K video or large file size. The Citrix virtualized solution becomes too slow, so we cannot use the VDI."
"Tech support can be slow if you do not receive help from the US representatives."
"Citrix has to support all of the hypervisors including KVM and OpenStack KVM."
"The sales team does not focus on client needs but instead focuses on selling higher-priced items."
"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."
"The product advances really fast. For some customers, we need better backwards compatibility."
"My only issue with Citrix is that they frequently rebrand their products. I'm using the app and everything is fine but after a couple of years, it's entirely different. There were an enormous number of Citrix tools readily available. My immediate concern was selecting the correct ones."
"Their customer support can be improved a lot as it lacks a lot of knowledgeable help."
