We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I use Citrix DaaS to connect to devices.""The app protection feature is one of the most valuable because it provides good security, as nobody is going to be able to look into your screen while you are sharing the screen. And if someone has installed a keylogger in your system, your keystrokes will be jumbled up and they would not make any sense to the keylogger. App protection is one of the coolest security features that I have encountered on any platform.""The most valuable feature has to be the non-persistent desktop. If one of my users messes something up and blows away their desktop, it goes back to what it was originally, before they had an issue.""The most valuable feature is the watermark because most of the time our employees connect from a remote location. In case they photograph the DDA or some data, the watermark will show which user did so and from which IP they connected. That makes it more secure.""Centralization and security are the most valuable features of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops.""The product is stable.""My focus has primarily been on publishing virtual applications.""The installation and maintenance are good.​"

Cons
"They need to adapt more quickly to the latest additions to the Microsoft operating system. If Windows 10 comes out with a new version, there are compatibility issues and it takes them a lot of time to release an update.""The Endpoint Management solution needs improvement when it comes to mobile device management. For example, they are still not supporting Windows 10 and this feature is required by many customers.""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 solution's technical support is not so good.""The initial setup is complex.""The product should expand its capabilities for integrating with other environments.""Their customer support can be improved a lot as it lacks a lot of knowledgeable help.""Our experience of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is good, but the environment can become complex and difficult to manage at times."

"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization.""The integration features could be better.""The solution should add more options and tools for shortcuts, administration, etc.""The packages that Splashtop has, tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified."
