Citrix DaaS vs. Lakeside Digital Experience Cloud, powered by SysTrack

DaaS is ideal in large-scale environments that require centralized, secure management. Remote workforces at large organizations. Highly regulated industries like finance. It allows for easy security and monitoring over one aspect instead of multiple remote machines. DaaS is not ideal for organizations with small budgets due to the pricing and organizations with lousy network connectivity. This would make the end-user experience terrible.

We are able to get to the root of the issue much more rapidly this way, and we don't have to interrupt the end user in order to see how their computer is functioning. Systrack is installed on-premises at our company. Check out that hosted infrastructure if you're in the market for it. In a matter of minutes, you may move from one workstation to more than 100k.

• User profiles need improvement. They could use more stability and more functionality as well as user profile redirection.

Getting the environment setup took me three months of off and on work, with 3 complete rebuilds of the environment. Utilizing the WebUI to access the environment had presented so many random issues that we had to require end users to use the Citrix Reciever App. As it was the only stable solution. Aside from that, it hasn't required much admin intervention since the stand-up was completed.

The performance of XenDesktop is the best in the industry because of the fine-tuned protocol and years of updating. Overall, I don't think there is a better performer on the market. The question is if the added complexity of running XenDesktop is really worth the performance gain. While the latest version of XenDesktop is the easiest to deploy so far, it is still more challenging than the competitors.

The support is great when you get an engineer that knows what they are doing but getting that individual sometimes takes a while. Overall, they are professional and polite and competent in their knowledge. Sometimes the cases are open for an extended period of time which becomes very frustrating when dealing with critical issues.

Citrix Virtual Apps & Desktops is platform agnostic (we can use any underlying hypervisor technology) and really flexible for any use case. Using a golden image and provisioning it (with Machine Creation Services or Provisioning Services) is powerful and really straightforward, compared to the complexity in Microsoft RDS of maintaining a coherent farm, or the limitation of VMware Horizon to run on VMware Products.

Systrack is also used to provide baseline and post-change analytics for the testing of new applications and equipment. This gives me the confidence to install high-quality items that won't cause any serious problems for customers. These are just some of the useful tools Systrack offers to assess the digital experience and take appropriate action.

• XenApp has allowed us to continue support of legacy applications and all access of those applications to users across the globe with any device.
• XenApp can also manage software licenses by restricting number of users, number of concurrent sessions, or combination of both to required specification.
• While initial investment in XenApp can be costly, continuing support and upgrade are very cost effective and product stability is excellent.
• While there are competing products from Microsoft and VMware, when it comes to remote application access, XenApp is the best of breed.
