Overall Satisfaction with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops

We are using it for connecting to business applications, utilities and production servers. It is releasing the user from installation and maintenance of business applications. From security point of view, it allows to centralize the access to production applications so the management of access/open ports become an easier task. From help desk point of view, the support of the applications become also an easier task since there are no more various of "local issues" To summarize, when you are using Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops for connecting to business applications and servers, you are getting a smooth feel like you are working on local app that someone is always maintaining.
  • Maintaining centralize access to all business applications without the need to worry of firewall/proxy configuration.
  • You are getting the feeling of working on local application without the need to install/configure/maintaining the applications
  • Access to production servers without the need to move between several remote desktop hops.
  • In my experience, file sharing is not working well, when you need to copy or access files from your local to Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, it is performing very bad
  • Maybe add support for managing the applications in a folder structure to make it easier to find your application.
  • It is working like a sandbox but with it, installation of apps on the Citrix desktop not always act like installation of apps on local machine.
  • Centralized access to all business applications
  • Access to production servers
  • Maintaining high security level of application access management quite easy.
  • No need to deal anymore with "local issues" everything is working for everyone.
  • Great reduction of network access rules and management.
  • Maintaining high security level of application access

Did implementation of Citrix DaaS go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Citrix DaaS again?

Yes

It is working quite well on allowing access to many business applications from one point of access. In my experience, it is not working well where you need to move files form your local machine into Citrix and vise versa. Installation of new applications (as a user) inside the Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is not always smooth and cause problems due to the sandbox nature.
