### "Amazing software for your business needs." — 4.0/5

> **Kaleb** | *5 November 2018* | Airlines/Aviation | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Citrix has quite a few benefits to it. I use this system daily and it provides a wide range of access to computers in your office but also remotely. You can add it to one device and then utilize it on multiple devices. It also allows for you to have controlled user access depending who you have on your staff. Each user has a unique ID and password and they can also set up their own layout that displays once you login.
> 
> **Cons**: Depending on your size of your company you may experience the network going down, freezing up or sometimes it just quits.
> 
> This software is great for my line of work and allows all employees to access the our network on our own computer with individual logins. I really enjoy the functions and the capabilities of this software and I believe you will as well. The customer support is amazing and it's definitely worth the money.

### "Every Day Another Challenge" — 3.0/5

> **Simon** | *27 December 2020* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This  software looks good, is simple to use and I understand it. It is also very good at telling you what it is doing, even if it stalls or freezes.  It is also easy to reset, which is a good thing as you can manage internet drop outs that may occur that you cannot blame on the operating system. So, in effect, very informative even when it encounters a crisis which is a really good and honest approach. I wish Windows was so honest in its approach.....
> 
> **Cons**: So I should first of all tell you that I use a MacBook Air and run Citrix on this every day. There is an obvious 'culture clash' here I feel. When I use Citrix to open a website that moves or animates in some way, such as www.rolex.com, which it is my job to use, it freezes every time. However, during various investigations with this error it has become apparent that even a still image can  cause this. It then requires a total reboot to get rid of the frozen image. This does not happen with Safari when asking for the same image or site to be opened. Annoyingly, there is no error message displayed when this occurs so we never get to understand why. That said, when error messages occur for other reasons, the error message is either 'unknown' or a number that means nothing to the tech company we employ. I'm not trying to contradict my previous comments, this is a comment on the process of using the internet via Citrix to browse websites and not on the day to day running of our retail software which is pretty seamless.&#10;I should also talk about the seeming inability to run six printers in the business in a consistent way, these are ticket, receipt and document printers essential any retail showroom. We spend too much time reinstating these devices, but at least we know what to check every morning and how to deal with it as it happens so frequently\! I am aware, however, that printers are the bane of every I.T provider on the planet\!
> 
> In short, Citrix cannot please everyone, but the printer issues need to be addressed (you could be the first in the world\!) and the internet issues need to be addressed. Our internet speed and signal is as good as it gets in our location, so we know we have the best chance of success there. Please make Citrix more understandable to the people who license its use and pay handsomely to do so. Thank you for making some of the issues transparent and therefore easier to report and fix .

### "A new era of workstation" — 5.0/5

> **Serkan** | *27 May 2019* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Citrix (XenDesktop) brings a new understand of workstation which you can access from anywhere from any device. It is fundamental for job takes too much time which you can check them whenever you need out of your office. It's also more energy efficient efficient when consider cloud based workstation.
> 
> **Cons**: Login may take some time which may be about the capacity purchased. When I tried to restart desktop, it may not happen.
> 
> Citrix (XenDesktop) is a approach that took position of conventional workstation in business. It's more power efficient, and easy to access from anywhere which you may not need to be on your computer all the time. I usually use it for CAD/CAE works in my company which offers the best for it.

### "Citrix" — 5.0/5

> **Cynthia** | *3 February 2019* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I've utilized several of the Citrix platforms and I have to say I enjoy this platform most of all. Citrix allows for the use of Windows in a virtual environment. It is a must have for our agents daily work and it provides security and cohesiveness within the organization that spans across different locations and scopes of expertise. That, perhaps for me, is the best feature of Citrix.  Having the ability for each member of the team to use the same software, access the same programs regardless of their personal OS or location is why we use it. Having another level of security and "control" for lack of a better word is also key in using a virtual environment that is essential to our company.
> 
> **Cons**: There is not alot of cons to be said about Citrix. Of all the various platforms and programs that our company use, Citrix is the most used, most reliable and most stable. My review of Citrix remains positive.
