Overall Satisfaction with XenDesktop

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

XenDesktop is mostly used by Finance, HR and Management. It is a great light weight solution as opposed to desktops. Mixed with our Citrix environment, we couldn't be happier.

Pros and Cons

Pros

App Streaming
Connectivity
Ease of use
Powerful and Secure

Cons

None that I can point out at this time.

Return on Investment

Lower hardware costs
Flexible between devices
Easy policy implementation
Users are generally happy about their new desktop experience

Alternatives Considered

RDP, which is not really a good example of competition, for XenDesktop is way ahead in features, security and customization.

Key questions always linger around scalability and a business need for implementation. Although the desktop counterpart isn't going anywhere in the near future, XenDesktop provides an unmatched solution. Though it relies on the network for utilization, it is rather lightweight and its deployment is simple.
