"App Volumes Review"
5/5
What do you like best about VMware App Volumes?

I like the usecase of appvolumes much more than the use of ThinApp. Appvolumes is a much more complete solution because once the app is assigned to a user/group, the user will have access to that app wherever they login (assuming the agent is present of course). Thinapp is similar in its deployment but not as integrated with the operating system and virtual machine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware App Volumes?

I dislike how apps are updated. This prevents having to recreate the app all over again from the beginning saving a lot of time and potential configuration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"App Volumes is great when paired with Horizon Linked Clones"
3.5/5
What do you like best about VMware App Volumes?

Having the ability to update an app and push it out immediately to Horizon VDI users is valuable. (in most cases without them needing to log off or reboot) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware App Volumes?

Comes bundled with SQL express install that is "not supported" for production environments. What's the point of including it then? It would be great if it was a virtual appliance instead of a Windows install. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
