By Citrix

4.3
(473 Ratings)
My overall experience with Citrix is very fit and miss, I never deployed this service so this might be the reason for this review. I am always battling with slow tool responses, lack of user control and constant headaches with users being blocked or users having time outs. From a overall security point of view DaaS seems to aging very poorly with the likes of zero trust services quickly replacing them.Read all insights and reviews for Citrix DaaS

overall, the solution works and serves its purpose. implementation of the directory was a bit tricky. we also regularly have performance issues where users across regions are disconnected. having the flexibility to i crease the latency limit of the client connection timeout would give us a bit of leeway and help alleviate SOME end-user frustration Read all insights and reviews for Amazon Workspaces

Overall, Azure Virtual Desktop is extremely easy to access through the Remote Desktop application. Sometimes it is a bit buggy and access doesn't always work. We use Azure Virtual Desktops to host our servers and they run very well. It is also easy to fix any issues or updates that may occur and we get an alert immediately. The Microsoft team is mostly easy to work with if there is a problem.Read all insights and reviews for Azure Virtual Desktop
