Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service) vs Nerdio comparison

"It allows us to mute users who adhere to a policy of not allowing direct VPN access for security reasons. It is easy to use."

"It has improved delivering applications to remote locations with its lower bandwidth utilization."

"I can access it from anywhere."

"Its user-friendliness is most valuable. It was easy to log in and navigate. Some of such solutions are not very user-friendly, but this one was."

"XenApp is a fast, secure and reliable solution for remote connections that is completely different than and superior to older Windows solutions."

"Getting access to the applications for which we otherwise have to be on-site is probably the biggest advantage"

"Citrix offers a range of products that can be used straight out of the box."

"Stable product with straightforward setup."

"The most valuable features of Nerdio are its automation capabilities, specifically the autoscale and auto-heal functionalities."

"The solution is one hundred percent stable and very much straightforward."

"The customer service from Nerdio is excellent, and I even know the CEO personally and have a positive experience, rating it nine out of ten."

"Nerdio is completely an automation platform offering auto-scaling and flexibility."

"Citrix Workforce is good, but it needs improvement in diagnosing network issues. When errors occur, it is difficult to determine if they're due to network issues, Workspace issues, or environment issues"

"The video conferencing feature needs to be improved."

"Our experience of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops is good, but the environment can become complex and difficult to manage at times."

"If there are connectivity issues, there are stability issues."

"Their customer support can be improved a lot as it lacks a lot of knowledgeable help."

"We have had issues with certain aspects, which is why we are looking for alternatives. For example, the firewall solution from Citrix is a bit complicated. Integration is hard."

"If anything could be improved, it might be some of the Director functionality, and some of the dashboard customization, or the overall Director customization."

"The application is now very complex. We started with Citrix on PCs. Now, to access the same application, we need to have a StoreFront Server, the Delivery Controller, and Citrix License Server. It's now very complex."

"They should start providing the certifications on Nerdio for training and enhancements, mainly for the open community of IT."

"The auto-heal functionality needs improvement."

"The auto-heal functionality needs improvement. Currently, the feature is limited because it only allows one heal condition and doesn't support multiple triggers."

"They should start providing the certifications on Nerdio for training and enhancements, mainly for the open community of IT."

"We recouped 60 to 70 percent of the hardware costs."

"I suggest using the concurrent user licensing scheme."

"I don't quite remember the specifics of what we had. I believe we had a 25-user license, and I don't recall it being overly expensive."

"The licensing is $125 USD per user."

"Based not only on the cost of Citrix, but additional costs like firewalls, IPS, and other solutions, the total cost of switching users from using normal laptops with VPNs to connection via Citrix were so huge that the CEO of our company decided to postpone the deployment process."

"Implementing Citrix DaaS with thin clients, rather than physical laptops, has resulted in savings of 27% to 29%. Additionally, moving 1,000 users from physical laptops to thin clients and VDI solutions can save around 40,000 kilograms of carbon emissions, benefiting both the environment and the company's economy, provided thin clients are used."

"The cost of the Citrix software reflects what I would expect a product of that nature, in that market, to be. Understanding the licensing is quite a bit more complicated, because one of the things about Citrix is that you can buy licensing at different levels... Yet I still like the idea because it means that if all you need is a basic load balancing solution, then you don't need to buy an advanced or premium license."

"The purchase price was around $300,000 USD and then the maintenance fees were 20%. There are no other additional fees."
