Horizon 8 Reviews

Most of the colleges are using Chromebooks but what I'm trying to develop is some virtual machines that have a common operating system to deliver to the student. They would be a virtual machine, similar to a Chromebook. This is what I am trying to develop.

The most important feature of this solution is the connectivity with every device, such as iPad, iPhone, and other terminals. The security of the solution is very good.

I have been using VMware Horizon 7 for approximately one year.

VMware Horizon 7 is stable. I think it is the strongest because I'm doing a lot of tests and the stability it's great. I have been very happy.

I'm using 50 users in my lab and I have been testing the performance, it's about 20%. It has excellent stability.

I have not used technical support. I bought some books and there are internet videos that I have used.

My deployment is complex and I hope it will only take a month.

The VMware Horizon 7 license is for three months. We are in the testing stage, we are still evaluating the product. We are sure now that we need to buy a license for the production environment.

The evaluation license has all the features already that we need. We are installing exactly what features we want for the level of license.

I rate VMware Horizon 7 a ten out of ten.

Horizon View is primarily used to consolidate networks against potential threats from outside.

Horizon View's best features are that it gives you more control over the PCs on your infrastructure, and it's specialized for banking environments.

I've been working with VMWare Horizon View for more than three years.

Horizon View is stable.

Horizon View is scalable.

The initial setup was complex, and you need system experience to walk through it.

Compared to Citrix and Microsoft, I'd recommend Horizon View as the best on the market. I'd rate it eight out of ten.

We use this solution for remote users around the country.

The product as a whole is okay.

It is easy to maintain.

User profiles are something that needs to be improved.

We have been using VMware Horizon View for approximately five years.

So far, the stability has been good and we haven't had any problems.

We have a stable environment right now and haven't needed to expand our usage. We have approximately 500 users.

Technical support has been responsive.

The initial setup is straightforward, although customization is a little kludgey.

We deployed using an in-house team.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for data center consolidation and the infrastructure of servers.

We are happy with the interface, configurations, pricing and support. 

We are not satisfied with the storage vendor.

I would like to see the VDP or other features for backing up the VMs.

We have been using VMware Horizon 7 for around 10 years.

The stability is sufficient for our needs. 

The scalability is sufficient for our needs. 

We have come out with an initiative to consolidate and reduce the data center by applying HCI infrastructure. 

We are happy with the support.

For the most part, the initial setup is simple. 

Deployment took no more than two months. 

We used resellers for the deployment.

We have issues with the storage vendor. 

Mostly, one or three people are involved in the deployment. 

We are happy with the price. 

We do not have an active subscription, just a permanent license. 

I have recently been conducting searches for more vSAN and hyper-converged features.

There are around 5,000 users making use of the solution.

I rate VMware Horizon 7 as an eight out of ten. 

We use VMware Horizon View to access our virtual application.

The solution has good performance and functionality. However, if the network connection was poor we noticed a decrease in performance.

I have used VMware Horizon View for approximately four years.

The solution is stable.

We have approximately 50 users using this solution globally.

I have previously used Citrix, Microsoft Terminal Servers, and Remote Desktop RDP.

The installation is complex and could be easier. The full installation with testing took a couple of weeks to complete.

We used an external IT team to do the implementation. I did the application installation, testing, and made sure people are able to use it.

We are on an annual contract to use this solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate VMware Horizon View a nine out of ten.

• Control
• Consolidated way of doing updates
• Security

We had to deal with re-imaging hard drives and managing PCs, so having images and desktops to deploy wherever people are without the hardware was really helpful.

I think that simplifying cross-platform use on different devices could be better. Different client versions sometimes don’t work quite as well.

It’s been great – we haven’t had too many issues at all.

Pretty good – we're a pretty small organization, and we have a few hundred desktops but it's been great for what we do.

It’s been good – no complaints at all.

Nope – we went from straight desktops to virtualization.

It’s a little complex, we missed the initial deployment. They were trying to get the most out of the resources on the servers and it undercut what some users needed.

When choosing VMware, we looked at the cost, and value. If they meet what we need, support is important as well. You should get a demo version and try it – see what it actually does before you buy it. I'd rather see it kick the tires than hear what other people have to say.

We are providers and we provide solutions to our clients.

We are using it for Virtual Desktop, Application Virtualization, Graphics, AutoCAD Virtualization, Graphics Virtualization, Workstation, and Graphic Power.

Technical support could be better and faster.

We have been using VMware Horizon View in customers' IT infrastructures for approximately five, or six years.

VMware Horizon View is a stable solution.

VMware Horizon View is a scalable product.

We have four customers who use this solution.

Technical support could be faster.

I have experience with Virtual Desktop Infrastructures as well as Application Virtualization.

We also use Citrix Virtual Desktops.

Colleagues of mine are implementing the software. I am the team leader for the modern workplace. It is simple to install, according to my colleagues.

We have a two-person team to maintain this solution. Both are architects, but we only need one architect and an engineer.

Customers pay a licensing fee.

I would suggest doing a proof of concept.

I would rate VMware Horizon View a six out of ten.
