MyWorkDrive
1. If you want to create a single Virtual office for multiple locations from where you can access files seamlessly, MyWorkDrive is the right software. Our Office is perfectly working without the members having to physically be present in a single office. 2. Extra expenses on VPN can be avoided using this software. It has inherent security features. We did not have to purchase a VPN. 3. Security has been greatly enhanced by using 2-tier authentication and Data Loss Prevention (2FA) in the latest version. It is a relief as your files cannot be hacked midway by undesirable elements.

Cons
Citrix
  • Opening of apps - it often crashes. My coworker even told me a trick to 'spam click' the app when it shows a certain error to be able to bypass it to get the app open.
  • Ability to customize from a user point of view - hiding apps, customizing visual, etc.
  • Desktop version never remaining signed in (MacBook) - much easier to just access via web.
  • After new laptop/new hire logs into the web version of Citrix and downloads the launcher, the launcher should then auto-fill the URL rather than requesting it again.
  • Citrix seems to reset at 12:00pm EST every day, given 15 minute reminder before shutting down the app. It would be great if this timer could be visible in the corner, or simply scheduled for different times depending on regions as it's quite disruptive.

Usability
Citrix
Citrix is a visually very clean platform, allowing for ease of use from even the least tech-savvy. That being said, the apps crashes a lot (scheduled or otherwise), and apps very often refuse to open from the dashboard, making for a frustrating/confusing experience from those who have not yet experienced these same issues daily for years now. The launcher app (for MacBook) leaves a lot to be desired in terms of both setup and daily use, making the web version more viable. First-time users are also often confused on what Citrix is - and how each app connects in order to open a program (explaining "log into Citrix on the web, then download the launcher app, then launch the Spectra app via Citrix web, which will open in the Citrix launcher app on your laptop to launch the app, but you have to paste in the URL again and log in again to access" is a handful)

Support Rating
Citrix
Support is pretty good and pretty fast to respond. I can't say I can really complain about the support experience I've had with them, as they've resolved issues within a reasonable time-frame. Of course, they could always be faster and better, but I think for what we pay, it's well worth the money.

We chose Citrix Netscaler Gateway for its wide market presence and its great experience over time. Although the implementation time may be longer than in the other solutions, I think the results are better and it allows configuration with greater capacity than the others. The cost is similar in all the solutions seen.
