Recommendations to others considering the product

Perfect solution to quickly deliver virtual desktops environment. It easily integrates with your existing VMware vSphere environment.

What do you dislike?

It is not open source software, but that's to be expected since it is owned by VMware. It is available on multiple platforms, but I've only had experience using it on OSX. My experience has been generally pretty good, except sometimes when I lose connection, the app will crash all together. This is undesirable and should be fixed. Updates do not seem very frequent (most likely due to it being closed source) and that could explain why the app is somewhat buggy.

What do you like best?

VMware Horizon gives me the ability to access a virtual machine behind my client's private network. This essentially gives me VPN access from anywhere in the world into the client's ecosystem. In general, this works wonderfully and gives me the ability to work remotely. When on a stable connection, I generally experience little to no lag or input delay.

Recommendations to others considering the product

I would recommend trying it out on other platforms (such as Windows) since the OSX application seems to be a little buggy. I'm confident that it will be updated in the future to address these issues.

What do you dislike?

Lots of individual systems to keep up to date.

What do you like best?

Easy setup and updates of desktops. Great for deploying new software. Easy install and setup of clients. Patching and updating software on guests can be done quickly and efficiently.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Great program for distributing Windows based applications.

What do you dislike?

There is very little to dislike. The program does what it is intended to do quite well. I have two small complaints about the program. First, there is no way (of which I am aware) to copy and paste material from the virtual machine on to the computer your using to access the virtual machine. Second, I run multiple monitors. In fullscreen mode, the virtual machine shows up only on one monitor. Windows will not extend on to other monitors as though you are using the native operating system.

What do you like best?

VMWare Horizon allows me to connect to a virtual machine on my company's main server. This allows our IT department to install certain programs on a single virtual machine that may be too bulky to install on many individual laptops.

Recommendations to others considering the product

If you have programs that require a large degree of processing power that is better suited to server, or if you want access to different operating systems without having to set up a dual-boot system on your personal computer (or buy two computers!), then this program is highly recommended. I haven't experienced any troubles using it so far.

What do you dislike?

Management can be tricky, you need to have a well trained helpdesk or things just get escalated too quickly. Software can often times be touchy as it requires a lot of other moving pieces. The cost is also sometimes hard to swallow but overall in the end I believe it can be a huge cost saver in terms of time

What do you like best?

Very robust and feature rich. You can do so much with this product. Very easy to create new desktops and integrates well into vSphere platform. You can also quickly refresh or reset a users desktop which save a ton of time. The Thinapp and ability to move app's around to users is also a huge plus.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Make sure you get solid state drives. Disk speed is the most important thing to consider in the technical realm. Also help desk staff will need extra training. Also depending on how you deploy the end users may just have thin clients which will impact local USB printing and normal desktop PC hardware support

What do you dislike?

I think more options can be provided in UI for clone and creating new environments.

What do you like best?

Just-in-Time Delivery with Instant Clone Technology is best and most used tool for my problems. Virtual Storage is nice and most helpful.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Don't think much. This is the best product in the market and it will always give good returns in the future.

What do you dislike?

Sometimes it takes multiple tries to log on to the system. Sometimes the system does not all my typing to be recognized and forces me to log off and log back on.

What do you like best?

The interface is smooth - it is a direct transition from my home computer to work computer. The product also allows me to connect to my home printer from the work operating system.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Useful tool, when the bugs don't interfere with my logging on.

What do you dislike?

Since it was our first deployment it was a little confusing to setup but once everything is up and running it works great.

What do you like best?

I'm an IT Consultant and we recently deployed VMware Horizon for the first time. Our client loves the setup and each user has the ability to remote into their own physical desktop or virtual desktop.

What do you dislike?

Not much I don't like.

VERY small peeve, but when you change the status of a device in the catalogue list (lets say to have a device enter maintenance mode), it refreshes the list and you lose your place (if you were 350 rows down of a 500 row table for example - annoying to have to scroll down.

What do you like best?

Web application allows for quick and easy connection for any device.

Logically organized interface makes it easy to manage our catalogue of pools and devices.

The knowledge management articles available when you have questions are wonderful. Tons of questions answered by the user base, and various official articles published from VMware.

Recommendations to others considering the product

I mentioned in one of my other reviews, but make sure you spend time with VMWare, having them consult for you and the setup that you need and want.

Also make sure you purchase enough resources to be able to scale up quickly. We found the requests that came in to use our VDI setup were fast. We had procured enough hardware to cope with the influx of requests though.
