Overall Satisfaction with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (formerly XenDesktop)
Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is used in conjunction with our document management application to centralize data for our nationwide (worldwide) insurance division.
- Centralize data.
- Ease of user desktop management.
- Standardization of desktops.
- It's not cheap to operate.
- Complex, there are a lot of moving parts, so it takes some dedication to set up and manage.
- The constant changing of names is annoying (i.e., Virtual Apps and Desktops—formerly XenDesktop).
- I can't speak too much to the cost, but I know it isn't cheap.
I'm not sure there is a real alternative to Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops. Maybe Microsoft Remote Desktop or Terminal server? Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is much more configurable and robust than either of these options for anything more than maybe ten users. Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is the way to go for virtual desktops and applications. Even our smallest office of 12 users runs on Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops.
