## XenServer Reviews
  ### 1. Citrix from a Remote User Perspective

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2017

**What do you like best about XenServer?**

Support of multiple applications in a secure environment. Very useful solution in an office environment.

**What do you dislike about XenServer?**

Significant issues with remote access and in particular very limited web browsing capabilities in the version used by our company. As a frequent traveller its the single biggest frustration

**Recommendations to others considering XenServer:**

Consider the type of workforce you have. If most staff are in the office on a daily basis then you will find Citrix more than adequate. If you have significant remote staff or mobile staff you may find thats its a little inflexible in a remote operational mode

**What problems is XenServer solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Citrix has been used to provide a multiple application capability, strong desktop capability all under the strong security domain of the Citrix platform

  ### 2. Unrealible interface for users 

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Civil Engineering | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 30, 2016

**What do you like best about XenServer?**

Industry standard, and as long as you pay for it the support is very good

**What do you dislike about XenServer?**

Very unrealible for my users. Sometimes they can connect sometimes they can't . Network and equipment are well above minimum requirments but still have major issues 

**What problems is XenServer solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Allows us to benefit from programs and environments that we would not be able to offer to all our users
