    a similar product feels quite similar, personally, I am only a user and wasn't involved in the software purchase decisions. Citrix is leading by its functionality and ease to use.

    Chose Citrix DaaS
    AnyDesk is a similar software I have used however AnyDesk is more of a remote Desktop software to gain access to other computers in any network. They use a token system to authenticate. AnyDesk is very different in terms of what it offers. It does not offer Application access …

    I never had the chance to test other products like these since whenever I read and searched online during the first phase it was only popping up Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops.... so we got in touch with the sales department and the rest is history. After the technical …

    Chose Citrix DaaS
    Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops was our pick because of the low infrastructure requirements. With Vmware, you need compatible hardware to run ESXi and then a machine to run the vCenter Server and free other machines to run horizon view, app, policies, etc which can get …

    Both Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and GoToMyPC solve the business needs of accessing your work remotely as long as you have access to the internet. They are easy to log into and support worker flexibility. The cost to maintain this software can be expensive, especially if …

    Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops support offline and have a wide variety of applications that can be run compared to other vendors. Improvements to the HDX protocol also allow apps to be run in higher-latency environments. Mobility Pack added support for mobile devices and …

    Citrix seems to run smoother than Access. I did not choose Citrix - I am only a user here.

    Chose Citrix DaaS
    according to me, Citrix Virtual App ruled over the windows because it is compatible with different operating systems (not only with windows or another specific one). It is user-friendly and widely accepted by various companies. It has a much better working environment for …

    We use Palo Alto Global Protect, and Pulse Secure VPN. While both are secure they don't compare with providing the type of access Citrix Virtual Apps delivers. The VPN solutions are perfect for Operations and technical teams for Remote Desktop Access, however, Citrix Virtual …

    We opted to use the Cisco VPN as we already owned the firewall to accommodate those users that wanted everything available all of the time. They were given laptops with full software loads and VPN access for network resources. If they have a bad or unsecure connection Citrix …

    Chose Citrix DaaS
    Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops by far has been the best remote desktop app that I've used. I had dabbled with other alternative platforms and they all fell short of what I needed. Citrix also has very high levels of data security and cybersecurity features making it a very …

    We have tried two alternates, one of which is not listed in this web sites database. Normal MS Remote Desktop Services/Terminal Services and 2X Applications Services. Both had similar offerings to Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (formerly XenDesktop), but both had the same …

    I'm not sure there is a real alternative to Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops. Maybe Microsoft Remote Desktop or Terminal server? Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is much more configurable and robust than either of these options for anything more than maybe ten users. Citrix …

    Have not tested other products against XenDesktop as it remains to be working for our needs.

    Chose Citrix DaaS
    Other products were more cost efficient, offered a better support contract, were much simpler to configure, and had better documentation.

    We chose Citrix over the alternatives, because one of our customers required the use of Citrix for the connection of third-party vendors.

    Chose Citrix DaaS
    We needed our application vendor to support our solution and Citrix was their main choice. The other choice was Microsoft RDS/RDP but we wanted the higher management functionality that Citrix brought.

    Citrix has come a long way in this type of service, compared to its competitors. We also select Citrix because we have the complete suite from this manufacturer (Netscaler, XenServer).

    Xenapp is a more mature product than VMware Horizon View with wider application and OS support. Citrix proprietary HDX and ICA protocols are more efficient than VMware PCoIP protocol for remote users with low bandwidth and high latency access. Both products still rely on …

    Chose Citrix DaaS
    XenDesktop is the best because Citrix says so! But really it depends on a lot of factors that vary from one organization to the next that require detailed analysis with a trusted consulting partner or an in-house EUC architect.
