Overall Satisfaction with VMware Horizon View
We are currently using this product for all of our offshore employees and contractors as a means for them to get into our infrastructure for their daily work needs. This product addresses one of the main business requirements of having every piece of data in-house. Giving users an option to log in to a VDI desktop and not having to ship laptops all across the globe is a win-win situation.
- Availability - Desktops are always highly available to users when they need them.
- Available across multiple devices. PCs, Laptops, iPad, Web or any other tablets. This is a pretty neat option.
- Easy to Use - Users don't need to learn a whole lot on how to use View Client and connect to their desktops.
- Harder to maintain linked clones - Certain features have their advantages and their disadvantages, where we save a disk space by using linked clones, its very hard to maintain or move these desktops across your datacenter.
- Less number of self-service features for users.
- Not able to share linked clones across multiple users.
- More secure environment - Data never leaves our datacenter.
- Highly available to our users
- Easy for administrators to manage the desktops in one admin console.
