Overall Satisfaction with XenDesktop

XenDesktop VDI is used by those in our organization who need to remotely access servers with a virtual machine interface. This is accessed through Citrix XenApp and then through and RDP client to connect to the server and launch a virtual machine to manage it. To date, there have not been any problems reported with using the XenDesktop that I'm aware of.
  • It makes connecting and managing a server through VDI simple.
  • Easy to access through the Citrix XenApp for anyone regardless of location.
  • Gives options for Dedicated, Full Screen, and Partial Desktops.
  • Sometimes the VDI system can be in maintenance mode which keeps users from being able to connect to them.
  • No other issues reported.
  • Positive - Allows multiple users to access remote servers from anywhere in the world with a web browser and internet connection. This allows server administration to run more smoothly and troubleshooting to be instantaneous.
I have not used any other products like XenDesktop in my workplace. I have tinkered around with similar programs at home like virtual machines and remote desktop but nothing that works the same as XenDesktop. One other program I have heard of is VMWare Horizon View but I have not experimented with it yet.
XenDesktop is best suited for those who do not work on company property and wish to remote in to servers or other devices off property. However, the fact that it can be accessed through the Citrix XenApp from any PC as long as an individual has access to sign in is a nice feature.
