Horizon Cloud Reviews & Product Details

I enjoy the Horizon Cloud because it delivers a consistent desktop experience each time I log in, whether at the office, at home, or on the go. Once configured, all employees receive the same set-up and access to standard programs such as MS word, excel, powerpoint, etc. Even marketing programs like Adobe Creative Suite can be loaded into the desktop, drawing design power from virtual GPU and RAM. Horizon Cloud is a wonderful way to support a hybrid at-office & remote work experience for your employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is the occasional severe lag when connecting, depending on what server you end up on. This can lead to disconnects, visual glitches, or black screens. The can also be significant lag when saving files cross-server, from local onto the Cloud. Horizon defaults to full-screen, which I don't care for; I use Horizon for shared e-mail and then operate Adobe Creative Suite on my local machine to take advantage of much more RAM and physical GPU.

The desktop experience for Horizon Cloud is absolutely consistent across the IT Ops team. Management and configuration of Horizon Cloud is absolutely seamless, and the console is easy to use and navigate. It also offers very dynamic user options, allowing to cater needs to the user, role, or company expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Horizon needs to consider offering more streamlined access from both desktop and mobile devices. There should also be further connection options available, as there are currently very limited options for adjusting the connection quality from the Horizon Client interface. This enhancement would be helpful, especially when dealing with varying speed connections and multiple functions in hybrid cloud environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This isn't something frequently used by a desktop user - more for behind the scenes (IT / Network Administrators). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to connect to our campus network from off campus and have a virtual desktop that is safe and configurable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For this software, I can't really think of anything I don't like about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As far as virtual desktops go, this is far and away the best combination of rich features while simultaneously being user friendly and easy to learn. Although I am not involved in the finance side of it, I know it was super affordable option as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t like how this program can’t provide the perfect tools. And that you need to bring Your Own Microsoft Azure Account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use, long lasting connection. Very user friendly software that makes it Seamless to connect to and access your internal documents securely. Highly recommend Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. This system replaced our old way of connecting which when used remotely, required a specific security setting on personal wifi, requiring many employees to change their WiFi to business and front the cost. This system doesn't carry such stringent requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main reward is the ability to handle large files that I would not be able to run on my laptop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The copy and paste function in Qlikview is broken through VMWare. I am unable to copy data, or send reports directly to excel from Qlikview while using this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact the you are able to use Horizon to access the remote VMs even when we are not on campus. The software is downloadable on many devices, including Mac, PC, iOS, Android, etc. The remote controls also work very well on iOS devices, because you can change the controls into however you want. That makes it a lot easier to control the VM when you are using such a small screen device like the iPhone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When using the client, sometimes the server can be forgotten. For example, when ever I am using this software on a lab machine, our production view server is set to 'view . my Company . edu', but often Horizon defaults to our testing server, 'view test . my Company . edu'. It is frustrating how it does not always remember the server I want to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
