We have about 100 physical servers. We also have between 200 and 250 people using the product. 

The scalability is good. It's easy to expand. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

We do plan to increase usage as it is a product that isn't as expensive as VMware.

Citrix is scalable enough for our needs, but we don't manage tens of thousands of VDIs. It's easy to grow and add more hosts when needed, so the scalability is good for us.

You can use the solution on enterprises. Citrix is not a company for small businesses only. We have Citrix Application Manager, and in the SAP surroundings, we have Citrix Landscapes. But that was years ago. The solution is scalable, and everything is fine, but Citrix does not improve the product enough. If you compare Citrix Hypervisor to others, the others are growing better and faster. I don't know what Citrix is doing, though. Moreover, Citrix is just doing cloud products and licenses.

The solution is highly scalable. You can add as many nodes as you want. It is highly satisfactory.

For in-house usage, we have about 30 people on it. We also have customers who use it, and that is 200 or more.

In terms of scalability, I would say Hypervisor is in the middle tier. I can't really speak to its enterprise-wide scalability, but it's very much okay on the mid-range level. From my experience, I can say it's good for small and medium-sized companies. I've never deployed it for a large enterprise.

This solution is highly scalable. We've upgraded our hardware from time to time and all it requires is installation of the Hypervisor; our virtual machines are moved to it and operations continue without any downtime.

I haven't encountered any scalability issues yet. I have built multiple XenServer pools (simple HA pairs for SMB to large Enterprise deployments of 8-20 physical hosts).

Information Technology Specialist at a manufacturing company with 51-200 employees

The solution is scalable. If you need additional resources, you could add hosts. When I started at my current company we had three hosts and now we have five. We have increased the number of servers that we have, along with memory, and could then provide additional offerings because we have the resources to do so.

We have approximately 130 to 150 users using the solution in my company.

The scalability is okay for small- and medium-sized businesses. However, additional features like site recovery for multi-domains and multi-data center deployment scenarios will be useful for different customers.

In terms of scalability, so far so good.

There are approximately two hundred users, with their roles being QA and development. I do expect that the usage will increase a little bit.

Works at a marketing services firm with 201-500 employees

It is easy to scale with this solution. I can scale up and scale down when I need to. And for memory and the VCPU's, it's even simpler because you can simply select that interface, and it will follow. Since I started using the 7.6 version, I can move virtual hosts around, so that's all working extremely well without any hurdles or hiccups. Our company has 600 employees and about 60% of them are using XenServer.

Never had issues with scalability. In fact, I even had good success with processor masking in order to extend some life in an older server that was performing well.

The scalability is good. If a company needs to expand it, it should be able to rather effectively. It's so easy to create new users and add new features that can be integrated into the solution.

We do plan to increase usage. There may be about 50 people now, however, but by the end of the year, we may be up to 100 or so.

It's a scalable solution. It's easy to scale.

We looked at scaling and going into machine creation services where you have one machine and that's the gold master machine in the update.

We have approximately 150 users in our organization. 

Their roles were mostly purposes, usual work.

The solution is scalable. 

I don't like the cluster functionality, but it's scalable. You can put a new service inside, and it works. The only thing is the shared storage, which does not have a good implementation. With LVM, it's a bad idea to use real partitioning. It's advisable instead to use a container file like Hyper-V or VMware.
