Overall, rate VMware Horizon a nine out of ten.

I use VMware Horizon for a variety of workforce, both internal and external.

The solution is easier to deploy and maintain on any Windows desktop, making it simpler to manage. It provides a robust infrastructure.

The most valuable feature is the instant clones, the integration with ESXi, and the center servers are the standout features.

There is room for improvement in the integration with other parts of the suite. For example, you currently need separate windows to manage app volumes and the dynamic environment manager (DEM). So, it's important to integrate all these infrastructure elements into one window.

I have been using this solution for six years. We used version 7, now we are using VMware Horizon 8. 

I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. 

It is easy to scale. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

The complexity of the initial setup was acceptable. 

There is a big return of investment. Because I implemented it in a university, and they mentioned that the administration of lab PCs became much more efficient. Tasks that used to take a month now take less than a week, so it's a significant return on investment.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. I recommend choosing the best implementation company because sometimes clients aren't happy with Horizon due to poor implementation. I've seen this happen often. So, selecting a company with a lot of experience and successful implementations is essential. Sometimes, users get frustrated not with the product itself but with the way it's implemented.

We don't have to pay for HyperFlex. The solution's speed gives a nice user experience. 

The majority of things in VMware Horizon can be done only in Windows and not in Linux. There are Linux customers who would like to use VMware Horizon's features. 

I have been working with the solution for five years. 

The solution is scalable and you need to add a load balancer to add desktops. Once it is configured, you can add as many desktops as you want to add. 

I would rate the solution's setup an eight or nine out of ten since it is easy. 

VMware Horizon is expensive and I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

The solution is useful for call centers and banks and I would rate it a nine out of ten.

Horizon's initial setup is easy. Sometimes I can do the integration myself and sometimes I need an integrator. 

The solution is more expensive in comparison to Citrix but when comparing the technicalities VMware Horizon, is worth the money.

Between Citrix and Horizon, I would recommend Horizon for its management and availability.

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten. 

Horizon View is primarily used to consolidate networks against potential threats from outside.

I would give Horizon 7 a rating of ten out of ten.
