Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Reviews & Product Details

Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is built on a very solid foundation which makes the product very mature and reliable. There were pretty sweeping changes on the move from IMA to FMA which brought some instability initially and many loved features from the widely used XenApp 6.5 were lost but now many of the best features from 6.5 are back in the product and there is greater stability.

The protocol is still rock solid. PVS rocks! WEM has been a very welcome addition and no one does published applications better which is what the largest number of our remote user base. We get performant virtual desktops for those who need it and awesome published applications for the others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would love if the reboot schedule within the tool was improved. For 24/7 operations, it is not adequate. It would be better if we could tag certain machines to reboot on a given day and to have them drain over an entire day rather than within the timeframe of the reboot.

Adding Machines to Delivery Groups is frustrating. Please allow us to select the machines we want to add from the UI rather than auto adding the next available machine in numeric\alphabetical order.

The metrics in Citrix Director are not reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Application layering for each employee enhances adoption of the product by providing the correct mix of applications for the virtual desktop experience. Leveraging Citrix Cloud enables us to manage our entire hybrid Citrix ecosystem from a single 'pane of glass'. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User profiles management/storage is a challenge when users store large files on their virtual desktop, rather than a network share drive or OneDrive. One user potentially can impact others managed from the same profile server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would say that in my entire 2 year term of using this software the only little drawback I ever experience with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is that , sometime it runs very very slow - latency issues ,and apart from that ,I can bet anyone that Citrix does not have any little problem at all which needs fix , and I wonder if anybody would had ever face any problem with such a beautiful software called Citrix , because It always works well without Question and you can mark my word for it ,and very frankly you know what , at workplace we sometimes used to talk among colleague like chit chat , saying each other , what kind of software citrix is or who made it?. because it never give us little free time to talk perhaps it never face issues like those 5 years back softwares , when every other day software problems was the concern of a business and need fix which allowed us to had some free time to talk at workplace .Now we feel pity on ourselves for citrix as it never stops.

Citrix has been a lifesaver as I work from home during the COVID-19.

Citrix is a little slow as it is trying to access info from our secured server.

As this software helps us access the desktop virtually, one can use more than one virtual machines in their own computer. This feature helps we developers to develop in one machine and run it on the other by which debugging becomes easy. Accessing this virtual machine can be done from your home network as well but it also comes with good security. You need to use either RSA token or your phone number to receive OTP ( depending upon client what kind of security they have chosen). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As I work on Citrix Virtual machine but I receive emails and required documents in my own employer email id. Citrix doesn't allow to copy paste anything from local system to Virtual machine. I have to every time mail it to the Virtual machine UserID and then get the required data. I think Citrix should give access to copy paste data from local machine to Virtual Desktop and vice- versa.

I use Citrix on my work desktop with two screens all day and disconnect at the end of the day.
