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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Extremely glitchy and heavy" — 2.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *26 April 2022* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like about this software is the concept of having a virtual desktop and securuty it provides. Execution of the said concept is disappointing. I have nothing more positive to say about citrix as a user. > > **Cons**: Where do I begin?? This is by far the glitchiest and heaviest software I have ever used in my entire life. And this should say something\! I've worked for corporations and startups and Im familiar with so many applications and software brands. Citrix in my opinion is the worst\! I understand companies use it mostly for security so only employees can access apps and internal network, I get that. But first of all, it's very heavy. While tech requirements for citrix are pretty reasonable in theory, in reality even computers with great memory and fast processors struggle. Once you log in to citrix, it's like you're back to 2000s. Everything is slow and feels heavy. God forbid you double click on an icon by accident, it'll be loading whatever the application you clicked on forever. And then it's gonna give you an error and you'll need to start over. Constant errors and bugs. I'm not kidding when I say that in 3 years I've been using citrix, I didn't have a single day when it worked smoothly. Saving something to your computer and trying to access it is a nightmare because it's two different locations although both virtual. And they don't connect properly. Omg, citrix is a nightmare\!\! If you're considering citrix for your company, please know that productivity will drop tenfold and spirit as well because when you're irritating with software all day and you need to use it all the time, you're in a bad mood all day, all week, everytime you're at work. Don't use citrix\!\! ----- ### "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. ----- ### "XenDesktop is an amazing time saver" — 5.0/5 > **James** | *12 October 2017* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This product will increase your productivity, it allows you to have the same desktop experience on whatever device you choose to use. Executives love this product as they always seem to have new technology whether actually increases their productivity or not. If your going to use VDI there is only one clear choice. > > **Cons**: some users may experience bad animation, powerpoint and video when resources are not properly allocated. > > XenDesktop is a huge time saver and can make you look like a hero to the executive staff. We saved money overall by saving massive amounts of time involved with provisioning users. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/186169/citrix-virtual-apps-and-desktops?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/186169/citrix-virtual-apps-and-desktops) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
