Overall Satisfaction with VMware Horizon

It's great to be able to set it up enough to support the stores I work for. My Big problem with it is that any form of connection issues on my primary PC - despite it reconnecting - the VM crashes and even after restarting the VM I sometimes need to reboot the primary computer just to get the desktop to display properly. Also getting it set up so I can see everything I want is extremely troublesome. Granted that part is related to it being locked on the desktop as a non-admin, I can do my best with the settings - but the settings aren't much.
  • Separation.
  • Individual connection.
  • Quick Reboot.
  • Saved openings when VM crashes.
  • Reloading after connection loss.
  • Better display adjustments.
  • Separate desktop.
  • Internet connection.
  • When it doesn't load right VM Crashes.

Do you think VMware Horizon delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with VMware Horizon's feature set?

No

Did VMware Horizon live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of VMware Horizon go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy VMware Horizon again?

Yes

Setting up remoting software to get into the specific company in which we support. It works a lot like a VPN, but it definitely has room to improve. There's nothing special that helps my job, it's a separate desktop that houses programs for me to remote into other computers and Linux systems.
