VMware Horizon View Scalability
I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten.
There are adjustments that can be made, potentially resulting in a score of ten.
I have good experience with it, and I find it suitable for all sizes of companies. The POC is starting with 10 or 20.
In all three environments, we haven't had many large-scale deployments. Typically, they range from around a thousand to two thousand desktops. I haven't had any projects in my years of experience where the initial deployment started with a thousand or two thousand desktops. The deployments usually start small and then grow over time. The customer typically wants to test if it fits their needs, so we conduct several POCs before moving to production.

View full review »The scalability of the tool provides the ease of adding another connection server or gateway server to ramp up the usage for more users. There can be tens of thousands of users on one server. The tool is very scalable. I rate the product’s scalability a ten out of ten. Our clients are small, medium, and large businesses. Some clients have 10 to 15 desktops. Others have hundreds and thousands. The biggest deployment I have done is of 150,000 desktops. The product is suitable for all sizes of businesses.

We can upgrade it and even add new features. So, it is a scalable product.
View full review »The solution is definitely scalable. If you want to change computer size, or need more horsepower, it can be done. You can also work with multiple flavors of operating systems and if you need to test and work with Linux servers, or open two or more windows, you can do that too.

Senior Executive Manager - Data Center Virtualization at a insurance company with 1,001-5,000 employees
In my opinion, scaling up to ten sites is easily achievable as the solution is highly scalable. It can be scaled not only within a single site but across multiple sites as well.
We have approximately two thousand people in our environment that are using VMware Horizon View.
We are not only planning to provide access to external employees but also aiming to expand access to internal employees.
View full review »The scalability is excellent. If you need to extend it to more endpoints, it's possible to do so, and it's not difficult in terms of a process. If a company needs to expand the offering, it can do so with ease.
We have a hybrid workforce, with 8,000 or so users who likely have both their work and home devices on the system.
We do plan to continue to use the product going forward. We have no plans to move away from it.

The solution is scalable. There are 200 people using it in our organization. However, it is difficult to maintain because the handover from our third party was bad. There was no adequate knowledge transfer.
View full review »It will be difficult to manage or to scale if the deployment is complex.
We have the product countrywide.
The solution is not easy to scale for large enterprises.

The solution is scalable to any number of devices or users and integrates well with other VMware products.
View full review »We’ve scaled up a lot. When we first started out, we’re fairly young using a virtual environment. We started with 130, and moved to over 500 now. It’s great and it’s not time consuming at all or difficult. It’s been rewarding to us.
The only downfall in our organization is the budget constraints, as we’re a nonprofit organization, so using a third party cloud provider is not free, so we have to let our user community know about the costs associated with using the environment. It’s a direct cost.
View full review »Scalability is good. We initially started with four servers and within a month we have scaled it up, adding an additional four servers. We initially purchased 100 licenses and then another 100. It was simple and straightforward to scale up.

I feel that Horizon is more for a small business, rather than a large organization.
In our organization with 250 users, it works fine but if you're talking about 10,000 to 15,000 users then I don't know whether it would support a scale at that size.

There are still many unknowns as we have only been working with this solution for a short time. We don't know the level of support and the servers are new to us, but in the six months that we have been running this solution, we have not run into any problems.
At this early stage, we can't determine whether VMware is able to address any issues or not.

This solution is Very Scalable
View full review »We kind of halted everything simply because of several technical issues that needed to be resolved to make the old system more stable before we plan on rolling out more. We’re currently looking at going to a generation 2 VDI with vCenter 6 and Horizon View 6.
View full review »With virtual environments, we are highly scalable. Before, when we had a physical environment adding a server was a whole process, now we have a base VM, and we just add it, provisioning servers is nothing. Now it takes two to three hours, instead of two to three weeks.

The solution is scalable but it's not a simple process. If you want to add any kind of component it involves some work. You need to be prepared, you have to have a certain level of knowledge in terms of environment and in terms of stack to be able to scale it.
We didn't encounter any issues with scalability.
