Overall Satisfaction with Omnissa Horizon

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using VMware Horizon to manage on-prem applications that could not be accessed outside of the organizations network. With VMware Horizon in place, we can now access critical services when even working from home. We no longer use VPN.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Onboarding application is smooth
File sharing is ok when using the desktop application
Connectivity to environment is much easier with a stable network

Cons

They can improve on the client application, you should be able to share files same as you can do on the desktop version

Return on Investment

Remote working has been made easier with all applications needed onboarded to VMware Horizon platform.
No need to open many firewalls. This has really taken away stress from working remotely.
Horizon has given us better experience in terms of stability compared to the VPN connections we used earlier. The VPNs kept disconnecting at regular intervals and was very difficult to complete task.

Usability

It is not difficult to use, the features are simple and self-explaining.
