We performed a comparison between Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service) and Tintri VMstore based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Citrix, Microsoft, VMware and others in Application Virtualization."XenDesktop has helped our users to work remotely with a better user experience."
"It provides all of the features required for the protection of data. For example, we don't want to allow any copy/paste of data to an outside environment, and we are able to restrict the VDI to not allow any data transfer from the VDI to the local laptop's hard drives. That is one of the greatest advantages the solution provides."
"For our company's customers, I feel that the product is stable."
"The shadow feature is extraordinary and helps a lot when supporting remote users."
"The most valuable feature of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is the security and it is easy to work with."
"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 user experience when using the solution's technology remotely is definitely superior to our VPN and/or Windows Remote Desktop. It's a much better user experience for those folks."
"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."
More Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service) Pros →
"Performance, cost, and ease of storage management."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"We love the real-time replication, ease of use when connecting our servers to the storage, and the level of redundancy inside the box... It's also simple software and integrates well with VMware so we get a lot of information about all of the VMs, how they're performing individually, and about network latency. That's very helpful when you're troubleshooting a slowdown."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"It’s very good at IOPS."
"Its performance is amazing. Since I have put Tintri in, I haven't had a complaint from anybody about slowness. On top of that, there is block-level cloning and the ability to spin up VMs."
"The video conferencing feature needs to be improved."
"We have had issues with certain aspects, which is why we are looking for alternatives. For example, the firewall solution from Citrix is a bit complicated. Integration is hard."
"There have been many issues with stability."
"Citrix should consolidate the multiple tools currently required into a single platform."
"The monitoring and management is in need of improvement."
"Scalability depends on the server and the number of users in the organization."
"The speed and connectivity of Citrix DaaS could be improved."
"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."

"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"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."
"Their current replication is really just enough to "check the box" that they do replication. We'll probably implement Actifio, Zerto or EMC RecoverPoint for VMs for more critical data replication."
"More cloud integration."
"I think with the world soon becoming only SSD, possibly NVMe, and 3D Xpoint. It would make sense for Tintri to drop the hybrid array down the line."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
"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."
