## XenServer Reviews
  ### 1. XenServer Review

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mental Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2016

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

I like that you can access a desktop remotely. I also like how it can be accessed from anywhere.

**What do you dislike about XenServer?**

I do not like how it freezes and kicks you out/disconnects frequently. I also do  not like how you can't access your own computer at the same time, and use it interchangeably, like you can with other remote desktop servers.

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

I have realized that I am able to work from anywhere while using XenServer. This is a benefit because I am able to work outside of my office.
