Ace Cloud VDI vs. Citrix Virtual Apps Essentials (discontinued) vs. V2 Cloud

I appreciate that a backup of my data is regularly updated and stored at more than one location in the U.S. One
of our employees got a new computer about a month after we started using Act
Cloud Hosting, and the employee simply contacted tech support and they helped
her get her new computer connected to the server and she was back working in a
very short time. And I appreciate that they have always followed up after a tech support request to make sure that I am satisfied.

For fast setup and implementation, Citrix Essentials was an enabler for connection success, otherwise, we could have just wasted time on other alternatives. Seemed that it was more 'out of the box' which works for us since we don't have the financial resources for complicated implementations. If this was a major ERP implementation, not sure if this would be the most appropriate solution across many countries.

It is suited for multiple users in different locations all working virtually. Not too great where it does not have a server close to the timezone of these users.

• They are quick to set up the server
• They asked all the right questions the first time.
• They are helpful on their documentation and allowing us to train on using the system.
• They sent detailed email on how to log in and use the system.

• User interface
• Support
• Integration

This is a well-refined product. I like that it was extremely easy to provision and set up. The price is very competitive and also does not have a bandwidth limit, which is really awesome. Once connected, it is like you are using any normal desktop computer.

We selected Ace Cloud Hosting as it has been serving the clients for 14+ years all around the globe. Ace Cloud Hosting has 24*7 customer support available and every time I or any of my team members had any difficulties using the product they were able to solve instantly.

Frankly, there were limited alternative products besides Citrix Essentials, and maybe we just need to learn more. We did not have the time to process complex Request for Proposals, obtain RFP responses, do a short-list, reference checks and a final selection with oral presentations, so IT helped Finance with moving forward and we appreciated their technical advice, speed, and guidance.

V2 is user friendly and easy to manage.

• Saved me two extra users to QuickBooks which prices kept increasing for Accountants with Payroll.
• It allowed me to focus on tax returns which my billable hours are more then data entry and not have to stop in QuickBooks for someone to use my computer.

• Improves efficiency.
• I would say that it will save me money on hardware.
• I do not think overall it will save much money.
