    Jan 13, 2026
    Omnissa inherited the Horizon system from VMware and has retained all the same qualities, documentation, and support, which is not a given. The cloud component remains, as in the past, the edge over competitors.

Performance of Omnissa Horizon Cloud Service Across Market Features

Omnissa Horizon Cloud Service Likes & Dislikes

Like

The seamless integration that it provides on our current system. When I am using this tool, it actually feels like I am working on a local environment and not over a cloud service or client. It very smooth and very fluid.

Like

The simplicity of setting up various environments and the scalable possibility to cover from small to enterprise level solution

Like

Omnissa Horizon Cloud Service impresses with its ease of deployment and the speed with which you can scale your VDI infrastructure while maintaining a relatively low operating cost if well optimized.

Automated Translation from Italian
Dislike

I believe the integration of this system, though it can be flawless, can be a bit of challenging during initial implementation. With the complex operation and functionality that it offers, that is to be expected. But if there is any room for improvement on this tool, that's probably where it would come from.

Dislike

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

Dislike

If you overuse the cloud service over time, you risk losing internal company skills. This is not a defect of the specific product but a general defect of cloud services.
