Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"XenDesktop has helped our users to work remotely with a better user experience.""Centralization and security are the most valuable features of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops.""Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is a stable solution.""For our company's customers, I feel that the product is stable.""It has improved delivering applications to remote locations with its lower bandwidth utilization.""The most valuable feature is the desktop experience so that users don't see much difference between the remote desktop and the local desktop... It also provides virtualization for high-end graphics so that they can be displayed. AutoCAD can be done on Citrix. The graphics are very good.""First of all, the manageability of the applications for publishing is valuable. Second, it is about being able to run the applications on all main platforms. Third, its licensing is valuable. You can either switch to the cloud and keep on-prem. You can work with this hybrid scenario.""The product is simple to set up, and its deep integration with Microsoft is also a valuable feature."

"Fast deployment for virtual machines""I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain""Performance, cost, and ease of storage management.""Its speed has been absolutely fantastic.""It’s very good at IOPS.""Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production.""You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance.""It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."

Cons
"It is not easy to set up.""I think they can improve the troubleshooting to make it easier for users to solve problems on their own. For example, it could provide an error code and some instructions on how to reconnect to the database or do something proactive to fix the issue with the system.""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 sales team does not focus on client needs but instead focuses on selling higher-priced items.""We encounter compatibility issues related to hardware, scanners, and other devices.""The product advances really fast. For some customers, we need better backwards compatibility.""Pricing and technical support needs improvement.""Using the app layering feature can be quite difficult and cumbersome."

More Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service) Cons →

"What I feel would be nice, in terms of a wishlist, is scalability. Rather than replacing the whole appliance, I would like to be able to just add another unit and scale it like that.""Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features.""The Tintri OS and GlobalCenter software do a great job of showing you troubled VMs, however it still could be a bit more helpful in diagnosing the issues.""In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing.""The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here.""More cloud integration.""The biggest area for improvement, and there has been some roadmap work in this area already, is cloud integration... Tintri has been investing in this area and I'm sure will continue to, but cloud integration has been the biggest area that we've been crossing our fingers and hoping for quick development around.""Speed of our VDI machines. We have a very high log in and log out ratio and machines are being refreshed instantly so we have a constant boot storm on our storage."
