    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.

    Dell ChangeBASE is well suited in migrating an OS to a new version, or 32/64-bit. It's also helpful when virtualizating workstations into Thin Clients for use with Citrix or other thin provisioning services.

    • OS Patch Testing - We further used this to test Microsoft's Patch Tuesday releases before we put them in production.
    • Web Dashboard - The latest version added a fully customization dashboard with widgets to give you an at-a-glance view.
    • Application comparability - We used this to test our Windows XP to Windows 7 migration.

    • Initial setup can be tricky - We needed to contact support for some help.
    • Prior to the latest version, there wasn't an easy way to view all of our results. The new dashboard has rectified this.

    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.

    Dell ChangeBASE is more costly when compared to Admin Studio, I believe the price was almost double. However, Admin Studio did not provide a comfortable level of support and we felt we were in better hands with Dell's patching schedule. Admin Studio wasn't able to answer our question on when they released software updates and how complex an upgrade would be.

    • ROI was seen after 10 months of use.
    • Greatly sped up the application testing process by several weeks, and allowed our existing development team to continue working on other projects.
