Citrix Profile Management (discontinued) vs. Liquidware ProfileUnity vs. RES ONE by RES Software (discontinued)

This allows remote workers great flexibility. You can setup working profiles that are tailored to the end users' needs to assist them in being more productive. This also allows you to view idle sessions to see how productive your remote end users are. You can set timers to only allow access during certain times of day. You can also set auto log off for sessions.

I would use it in organisations with lots of users to be managed; we use it in Citrix environments a lot and it works like a charm. I don't know if I would use it in really small businesses with random PCs, unless you really want to have some uniformity and strict use policy.

The tool is integral to how business is done by end users, thus it's imperative to keep the solution around. Not to mention the business leverages the experience to assist clients with building out the solution for their needs.

Easy to deploy and transparent for the end user.

Ivanti's support department is great. They resolved incidents great and quickly.

The implementation is typcially pretty simple on a flat active directly and non-DMZ based environment. Once things become more complex it is imperative to move slowly and test frequently with UAT groups and engineers.

Well, I really did not select it, but generally, as those products and solutions are very expensive and purchased on a corporative level, I used them as a user or a system IT manager... Citrix has almost no competitors that we can call like that really... it's the de-facto standard nowadays but I feel like that sense of supremacy and overall superiority threw Citrix company into a dark tunnel of blindness and missing opportunities conditions of leveraging the product to the next level and taking the opportunity to innovate and do more with less. Just take into consideration the MB heaviness of the Citrix Profile Management installer... it grows years after years... many MB and... the same solution and option... what a shame!

Appsense now Endpoint Management is a great tool, eventually IWC will fade and Endpoint will absorb all its useful features. Once the transition to appsense is complete we will be shifting to it rather than IWC but in the mean time IWC is our tool of choice.

• By far the best ROI for using UPM is that it's included with many Citrix offerings.
• The only negative ROI might be time spent setting up UPM then deciding to change solutions.

• Less management
• Better user experience
