Horizon 8 Reviews

We essentially use it to enable remote workers.

The most valuable features are the ability to manage a great number of desktops at once and the remote access for users who are working from outside of the office or from a different office in the country.

The remote application features have some room for improvement.

I've dealt with Horizon 7 for as long as it has been out.

Its stability is great.

Its scalability is great.

Their tech support is good. It used to be better. It has dropped off a little bit, but it is good.

The initial setup of Horizon 7 (and Horizon 8) is fairly straightforward for the infrastructure. Getting the use cases for each desktop pool can be a challenge.

I don't know about the price. I know there are different tiers with the license, but I'm not sure exactly what it costs anymore.

I would advise defining your use cases before you start.

I would rate VMware Horizon 7 a nine out of 10.

We are using VMware Horizon View for workstation replacement. We are mostly still in the development stage.

The most valuable feature of this solution has been security.

I have been using VMware Horizon View for approximately one year.

The stability has been good.

Whenever I had to use the technical support from VMware I had a good experience.

The initial setup was not difficult but there is room for improvement.

I rate VMware Horizon View an eight out of ten.

We use this solution to maintain the existing ESXi that we have.

The most valuable feature of the solution is its reliability.

I have been using this solution for a few months.

I have found this solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

I rate VMware User Environment Manager an eight out of ten.

Being able to centrally manage our environments from one pane of glass.

Before we virtualized it was stand alone systems, now I can see all ten sites we manage, and manage the systems. If we need to make changes, we can do it with a snapshot. It's much easier than before, plus we now have visibility into everything going on.

One thing is I'd like to be able to see I/O acceleration within VMware instead of having to use a third party, like VMTurbo.

We haven’t had any issues – its worked really well.

With virtual environments, we are highly scalable. Before, when we had a physical environment adding a server was a whole process, now we have a base VM, and we just add it, provisioning servers is nothing. Now it takes two to three hours, instead of two to three weeks.

I haven’t had any issues. They're easy to get hold of, and they're able to help with all our issues.

There was no other solution in place.

It was fairly straightforward. It took getting used to the new technology but it wasn’t too difficult.

We use the solution for remote desktops for a small number of users, but we do not use Citrix. Therefore, Horizon View is sufficient for us to publish applications or desktops for small services.

The solution has a lot of Visual Desktop's persistent and non-persistent desktops which publish the applications.

The integration could be improved. For example, there could be more integration and easier integration with products such as Okta and Duo. VMware Horizon View could be a multifactor authentication and authorization product, with more options for workflows, user assignments, and group assignments. Currently, it is complicated to configure a demo, so more integration would be beneficial.

I am currently using the solution.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable.

I give the solution an eight out of ten.
