It just plain works well for any need that we throw at it, and when we have issues we have people who we can reach out to for additional assistance

time to setup, it's necessary to entitle users one by one and it's a nightmare when you have larger environments, tricky deployment

Omnissa Horizon configuration can be complex because it involves multiple components. Troubleshooting can also be time-consuming. And running large environment can increase operational costs.
