Citrix Hypervisor Other Solutions Considered
If you need a low management tool, a black box as your virtual machine, Citrix Hypervisor is a very good solution. If you compare Citrix Hypervisor to Microsoft Hyper-V or VMware, both can do many more things, but you'll have to do much more work to get them up and running. Citrix is an easier solution than the others, but the problem is Citrix is not investing in that virtual surrounding. Hyper-V is now more technological than the others, so we will not install Citrix Hypervisor anymore. Our newer installations are running mostly on VMware and partially on Microsoft. We are still running some solutions on Citrix, but the next change will be to Microsoft or VMware.

I looked at VMware's vRealize Automation, but it was eliminated due to our budget constraints.

We are a public (government) company. Due to legislation, most of the time, we can't simply choose a vendor. If we need to acquire a contract solution, we make a technical study where the features are evaluated and the final specifications are always based on features, not on vendors, or manufacturers.
