Citrix DaaS – Bewertungsseite 2

Vorteile

Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is the leader is user desktop virtualization and desktop as a service (daas) services. It provides the ability for true hybrid architectures when combing on-prem with Citrix Cloud (cloud.com).

Nachteile

Installation is not supported on the Linux operating system. Would love to see Citrix expand their architecture to Linux as a host operating system for Citrix VAD.

Vorteile

I love that with one sign on I have access to at least 12 desktop icons that are used daily

Nachteile

Occassionally there are issues, but I would not call this a least liked.

Vorteile

Allows users to work on servers without having to work locally on their own computer. On this machne you can deploy applications for the users and set security on it. Which is very useful for big business meaning you don't have to install applications on all the laptops/desktops, but just once on the server.

Nachteile

Licenses are quite costly, and you probably need a XenDesktop expert to set up the more complex environments.

Vorteile

It is an easy application to use.
It has a good interface.
You can reach your workstation/hyper computer from your laptop wherever you are.
Lastly, sign-in is quite quick.

Nachteile

If you are using 2 screens switching moving the Citrix from one screen to the other one can be a problem.
The resolution may change to very low. What you need to do is to first reduce the Citrix from full screen and then move it to the other screen.

Vorteile

The ability to bring work home is what I love the most about using the Citrix workspace application.

Nachteile

it can lag a bit some times when pulling up other applications.

Vorteile

It is a very intuitive tool, since it fulfills the standard of virtualization, which is to allow an application to be executed from a device that is not installed. It allows controlling the applications and virtual machines installed in the datacenter. It allows controlling the applications and virtual machines installed in the datacenter.

Virtualization is done by sessions. the virtualization of sessions through XenApp allows any user of any operating system to access any application delivered by IT

Nachteile

It requires a high infrastructure cost to start large projects, you must acquire servers that support the load to which they will be exposed.
You must have a clear idea from the beginning of the administration of technological resources that are going to be spent at the moment.
There is not enough documentation in forums to solve problems.

Vorteile

started using this during street protests and really used it a lot more during Covid, enables Working From Home to replicate desktop environment at the office

Nachteile

firstly the connection is quite laborious and tricky
secondly the connection is not always stable
thirdly the numerous updates required to be downloaded can be quite annoying and distracting

Vorteile

You can access your virtual desktop from basically anywhere. For security purposes, XenDesktop is definitely a good choice. You can have your employees use a virtual desktop instead of storing any company information on a physical device and that's great if you are worried about any sensitive information. It's user friendly in that the desktop looks just like a regular windows desktop. Someone who doesn't know what a virtual desktop is would not be able to tell the difference.

Nachteile

It's really slow. It takes a very long time to boot up and the screen lags when you're scrolling which is frustrating. If you don't have a strong internet connection - forget it. You also can't use the virtual desktop on more than one monitor at the same time. This caused a few issues at my last job, we were all supposed to use the virtual desktop every day but everyone used 3 monitors so it didn't make sense to be essentially logged in to two separate computers at the same time so almost everyone just didn't use the virtual desktop.

Vorteile

I use this app to access my software from home and it’s very reliable and fast

Nachteile

This software has to be logged onto twice a day sometimes if your laptop is idle during lunch

Vorteile

We use Xendesktop for our hosting platform for our clients. It allows us to run multiple servers/applications from one central location and allow multiple users access to it at once. It is easy to use, quick, great connection, and best of all makes our client lives easier

Nachteile

There are intermittent connection issues and duplicate account sessions that need to be monitored. Nothing awful

Vorteile

Citrix is the gold standard for centralized application and desktop delivery to clients, regardless of client platform or deployment configuration.

Nachteile

Very high cost, requires a large infrastructure investment. High learning curve if you want to be a citrix engineer.

Vorteile

Really easy to launch/troubleshoot Virtual Desktop Session via XenDesktop. We were using another virtualization software that often locked or crashed virtual desktop sessions. Once we made the switch to XenDesktop, the calls to our support center dropped regarding locked or disconnected sessions

Nachteile

For our environment, Citrix has to be downloaded and utilized in order to launch a virtual session. Our Citrix client host tons of other company applications, which is not needed just for a virtual desktop.

Vorteile

Allows complete virtualization which lets our company/remote users use dummy workstations with all our data stored in a remote and secure location. Faster compared to its predecessor (XenApp) which opens up apps instead of a complete virtual desktop. The speed is also noticeably quicker on XenDesktop (At least 3x faster) compared to XenApp.

Nachteile

Citrix Director could be updated as there are still some features I find redundant/confusing. When remoting into a user's PC, it does not allow us that functionality on the sessions tab, you must type their name on the search bar to access that functionality, which is weird. Also some worries about the memory on these servers as Citrix is still known to have memory clocking issues, which means we would need to restart the server occasionally to run functionally.

Vorteile

I like the ability to host virtual desktops on any machine which makes portability a non-issue. Portability allows me to stay mobile while working in a big office environment.

Nachteile

The performance was very inconsistent. Unfortunately, when I needed XenDesktop to work correctly, it did not.

Vorteile

Your desktop with applications and files can be viewed from different computers. If you change your office to other place, you will not have to take the computer with you.

Nachteile

You have limited space because it must be shared with all employees and if there are many, the space will be small

Vorteile

I like that you can access the apps that are available on your company's main office

Nachteile

It limits you to only using those apps inside Citrix. It allows the company to strict employees to only use common apps that are used by everyone that is within Citrix

Vorteile

I really like how seamless Citrix virtual desktops are for end users. All I have to do is open a desktop application with one click and I'm already working with jumphost in the same way the virtualized machine was in front of me.

Nachteile

I also had quite a few glitches that prevented me from working, which were usually resolved by restarting the application.

Vorteile

I like the flexability of devices that connect to the Citrix Reciever. I love having my desktop accessable from anywhere. It's a real standard of work that doen't change if I'm at work, on the road, or at home.

Nachteile

I have not had some of the issues others report with the Xen Desktop application. I think it comes down to who did your installation and how well the enviorment is maintained.

Vorteile

I like the fact I can contain many other products aligned with Citrix in the same place....all my apps a my fingertips. Also great when I need to remote in to other users PC or reset passwords.

Nachteile

Sometimes apps within my desktop "catch all" don't work, and I have to find in Start menu and open them rather than thru Citrix

Vorteile

This software solution brings your office desktop together with your favorite apps, to any place that has access to internet. The security protocol is very good which makes this product a reliable one. The web interface is easy to access and easy to use.

Nachteile

The initial setup and configuration is not very easy and can be time consuming. The system price overall is high.

Vorteile

I frequently work remotely and Citrix makes it very easy for me to connect back to the network and get my work done.

Nachteile

It can take a little getting used to if you didn't have a good training session.

Vorteile

Very helpful in business requirements.
Can access important files from distance.
Must have for offshoring work.

Nachteile

Causes system slow.
Not easily available.
Need good internet bandwidth.

Vorteile

I liked that Citrix enables me to work from anywhere. The only caveat is that you must have a strong internet connection.

Nachteile

I despise Citrix to my core because of it's file system limitations and the low bandwith that it allows inside of it's services.

Vorteile

I like that Citrix allows me to add email, skype and virtual desktop. Its easy that everything is in one place.

Nachteile

The virtual desktop can take a long time to load, it also can fail frequently or requires a restart which then forces me to lose my work

Vorteile

It's great for IT since it allows them to reduce their TCO through virtualization. Sensitive data can be kept off of a physical machine and safeguarded in the cloud.

Nachteile

The biggest drawback is the inability to use dual monitors. This needs to change immediately for XenDesktop to be more appealing to users. The performance is dependent on the internet connection and can lag at times.

Vorteile

The best feature of this program is that it’s very secure. We use it for a wide range of sensitive customer related task. It keeps info obtained very safe. The apps are also very simple and can be altered if needed. Also, all programs have bright and colorful graphic designs and brands. I appreciate the amount of creativity that went into each logo.

Nachteile

This product is very glitchy. I use it to my virtual call center apps. At least once a week there is an issue with it loading. Additionally, there are lags in the software that have nothing to do with internet speed or access.

Vorteile

I have not used much virtualization before so this was kind of a new thing for me to be using on regular basis and I've been really empressed. The stability and speed of working with the remote desktop and the other ability to launch a specific app/service right up was very convenient and made it so much sense particularly from working at a remote location to ensure security.

Nachteile

Nothing that I can currently recall. May be as I dig deeper into it.

Vorteile

I really liked the ability to use this at work and have my desktop and apps that I needed specially given to me. It allows me to only have what I need in order to get my job done.

Nachteile

It can freeze/experience lulls in speed at times. This can be frustrating.

Vorteile

I love the features that Citrix Xen desktop has to offer, application and desktop delivery. I am excited to get into app layering and delivery as well.

Nachteile

Customer support is pretty intermittent in terms of getting someone who knows what they are talking about. Sometimes the way they want you to set things up is counter-intuitive and isn't as straightforward as you would hope. like setting up a desktop to deliver vs an application.

Vorteile

I value this product for the ease of access to numerous saved programs. All of my necessary programs are stored and easy to utilize.

Nachteile

I personally have had some issues with glitching behavior. Although, I would potentially chalk that up to my PC.

Vorteile

This software is so beneficial for our company and most companies in healthcare. It allows us to easily navigate communication and off site workers.

Nachteile

Remoting in on old equipment is a bit difficult but with persistence and patience it is possible.

Vorteile

Citrix Xendesktop is a very reliable and feature rich software solution for medium to large environments.
Very compatible with different hardware and environments.
Can produce desktop sessions with very good performance.

Nachteile

This solution is not really suited for small deployments.
Needs lots of administration.
Needs specific training or skill set to administer.

Vorteile

The fact of optimizing the space of the computer of each employee. Using a digital platform to access tools saves and optimizes maintenance service and new license purchases

Nachteile

The need to use the internet explorer browser to run the plugin turns out to be the downside of the service as this makes the process slow

Vorteile

This software allows you to access a variety of programs remotely, which helps you to work from all over the world.

Nachteile

It can be a bit buggy at times and requires a computer restart if too many applications are open at the same time.

Vorteile

Love the ability to remotely connect to my work computer using this software on my computer at home. It’s easy to use and functions as if I’m on my desktop computer at work.

Nachteile

Installation of software wasn’t the easiest and computer didn’t recognize once the software was installed.

I also occasionally have issues logging in and remotely connecting.

Vorteile

I can access a bunch of server apps from anywhere. It's pretty easy to use, too.

Nachteile

Every so often, either the server or Citrix (not sure which) glitches and I have to refresh the apps or sometimes even restart the program. A minor inconvenience, though.

Vorteile

Able to access work documents/networks safely and securely from anywhere.

Nachteile

The input lag is very noticeable at first, but over time I became used to it.

Vorteile

Once you log in, has easy access across its multiple applications. Has excellent customer support if problems arise.

Nachteile

I don't like having to open up the Citrix application interface in order to access a particular program shortcut that is already on my desktop. The shortcut should be seamlessly integrated with the user interface.

Vorteile

Easy to use
No gimmicks, gets to the point
Runs on any windows device

Nachteile

Doesn't look the prettiest, but does what it needs to
A few crashes, especially with a label print queue

Vorteile

Necessary to access Epic electronic health record

Nachteile

Extra clicks to get into Epic, sometimes confusing

Vorteile

I love that the virtual desktop has the option to be accessed via web. Saves up space and readily accessible on any device.

Nachteile

Regardless of your internet speed, the virtual desktop lags terribly. All actions in the virtual desktop are delayed for about 5 secs.

Vorteile

Load evaluator index helps to gauge the actual load on the server, this helps in load balancing.
Seamless secure connectivity: the remote employees/unit haven't faced an issue with Xendesktop till now.
Common interface along all the OS platforms.

Nachteile

Quite pricey compared to its rivals. But if you are from pricing, I would say, Xendesktop is the best.

Vorteile

This provides and secure tunnel into my work files that enables me to view, edit and save them alongside my team.

Nachteile

The software is sometimes slow to let me into my work network and can get overloaded. It can be difficult to install correctly on another PC.

Vorteile

XenDesktop from Citrix allows for remote work away from the office, providing a secure platform for employees to utilize all desktop applications and company-wide software.

Nachteile

Unfortunately XenDesktop runs slowly and is not ideal for productivity due to the processing time it takes to connect to servers.

Vorteile

I've used Citrix at multiple jobs and it always gets the job done, providing a great connection back to my network at the office.

Nachteile

Every once in a while I'll have to toggle through some screens to get the right connection type but really there isn't much to dislike.

Vorteile

I like all the features in Citrix it's very easy navigate

Nachteile

All apps are easy to use with a no stress sign on

Vorteile

It's very smooth, and runs cleanly when you are using just applications or full virtual desktops on multiple monitors.

Nachteile

Local devices don't always register correctly within the virtual environment, which can become frustrating for users.

Vorteile

You can work wherever you are. An internet connection is sufficient. Your data are secure. Very easy to use.

Nachteile

The connection is not stable. Very often the work becomes too slow. Sometimes it is just impossible to work.

Vorteile

I like that everything is stored in their system because it would come in handy if your computer crashes.

Nachteile

It makes everything else crash and is difficult to use.

Vorteile

I like how when EPIC is not working I can go through this software to access orient charts it’s like a backup

Nachteile

It takes awhile to log in through this software because it doesn’t automatically log me in like other software
