CIO at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Verified user of Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service)

Helps us deliver a range of services, like load balancing, remote control, remote access, and a unique thin-client workstation on wheels

Pros

"Among the most valuable features is the Citrix Workspace, which allows us to drive that thin-client connection and the remote control/remote access capabilities. Those things have allowed us to connect an awful lot of people quickly from home and that's obviously helped during the pandemic."

Cons

"Where improvement could be driven is in terms of clarity as to the functionality of some of the solutions. If you go back to the older Citrix Xen products that we had, we understood those really well. As we've come into the new workstation premium suite, there is a lot of additional functionality that we perhaps have not yet fully exploited. It is not because we can't, but simply because we don't yet understand the depth of functionality that's offered."

Flexible Deployment, reliable performance, and fast transmission speeds

Cons

"Using the app layering feature can be quite difficult and cumbersome."

User-friendly and easily accessible, but cost could be made cheaper

Pros

"One of the best features of Citrix Workspace is that we can access it from any device anywhere."

Cons

"The solution's cost has almost doubled this year, and it could be made cheaper."

Delivers secure and unified access to apps, desktops, and content for enhanced productivity

Pros

"In terms of Citrix Workforce features, the most valuable for managing our remote workforce is security, especially AppProtect. Users cannot simply copy and paste data to their local devices. This prevents data breaches, as data can't be copied to OneDrive or Google Drive. Screenshots from local PCs are also blocked, though data can still be manually copied using a phone."

Cons

"Citrix Workforce is good, but it needs improvement in diagnosing network issues. When errors occur, it is difficult to determine if they're due to network issues, Workspace issues, or environment issues"

Easy-to-use platform providing secure access to our data center

Pros

"It allows us to mute users who adhere to a policy of not allowing direct VPN access for security reasons. It is easy to use."

Cons

"The product's technical support services need improvement."

Integrates various tools and features into a single platform

Pros

"Remote work has been enhanced"

Cons

"Citrix has undergone significant changes, primarily due to its acquisition. This acquisition impacted Citrix's value because of increased licensing costs under the new model. As a result, many customers are now considering alternatives to Citrix. "

Product discussed: Latest version
Useful virtual desktop usage from anywhere, simple deployment, and straightforward to maintain

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Citrix Workspace is the virtual desktop that we can use anywhere, at any time, and without taking our laptop."

Cons

"I have noticed that the current compatibility issue with the latest version of Windows 11 is a concern for me and my client. While the client has support for Windows 11, it appears that the Citrix Workspace is only compatible with Windows 10, which does not support the newest version. This is an area that I believe could be improved upon."

A mature product and an industry leader with great application virtualization

Pros

"Citrix is one of the companies that is delivering virtual apps and desktops in a big way. They are mature enough to understand the level of stability required and deliver it. "

Cons

"If Citrix can develop something which can have more reach towards the backend infrastructure, other components of the Citrix environment, that would be ideal. "
