Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
VMware ThinApp has been used to virtualize and package multiple applications, for isolation purposes and for compatibility issues. We have packaged multiple frameworks and runtimes (like Java or .NET) to embed them with specific applications without impacting locally installed apps. Longer ago, we also used ThinApp to allow Internet Explorer 6 uses on newer operating systems (for older web apps compatibility).
- Secure containers
- Easy packaging and capture
- Simple publishing
- VMware seems to have abandoned the product (no functionality evolutions, only security patches).
- VMware ThinApp is really difficult to buy standalone, it comes packaged with other products.

- VMware ThinApp allowed us to maintain older apps, avoiding refactoring costs.
- ThinApp used with VMware Horizon is great to separate desktop and app management, allowing to fine-tune desktop delivery to end users.
- Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V)
VMware ThinApp capturing and publishing is way more simple than the App-V approach, but App-V seems to be more suitable for the largest deployments. Application Virtualization seems to be less and less common today, as VDI approaches can solve some issues (like publishing apps from a virtual desktop instead of locally installed or virtualized packages).

Application Virtualization with ease
We have some web-based applications that will only run in Internet Explorer 8, and these are required to run alongside other web-based applications that run on Internet ExpIrer 11. Without VMWare ThinApp, this would not be possible. I also run Dameware with ThinApp, and it runs flawlessly.
- Virtualizes applications for easy deployment
- Allows you to run two versions of the same software at the same time.
- Outstanding customer support
- I have had difficulty Thinapping Office 2013
- Several applications are trial and error as they fail often, with little to no documentation
- Price could be cheaper

- ThinApp is our go to for application virtualization
- Allows us to run multiple versions of Internet Explorer
- Cuts down on deployment time.
The only application that I have ever used that does exactly what VMware ThinApp does is Cameyo, and VMware is light years ahead of them in terms of usability. VMWare is the industry standard for application virtualization, and they do this by making a powerful product that is remarkably simple to use and top it off with A1 customer support.
