Citrix Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Server virtualization includes a range of technologies that abstract an underlying infrastructure layer (networking, storage and compute [including memory]). In doing so, it improves hardware utilization, workload portability, automation and availability.
Server virtualization is most often associated with hypervisor-based server workloads running in data center environments on industry-standard servers. In reality, server virtualization incorporates multiple technologies, spans locations from public cloud to edge, and supports initiatives for both cloud-native transformation and infrastructure modernization. It includes hardware-, cloud- and software-based technologies.

The product is good; it performs its main function of virtualizing hardware correctly. Its main drawback is that, because it's not widely used, it's not supported by many hardware manufacturers that offer virtual appliances.
