Citrix ADC

User- friendly, I like being able to log on from my computer at home

Commentaires : Being able to access my work info from home, as well as being able to access company- wide info from an office- to- office basis.

Avantages :

I have been using Netscaler/ Citrix for the past 3 years at my place of employment. It is user- friendly, and I like being able to log on to my work files at home. We use Citrix throughout New York and Florida- and it's beneficial being able to view the shared drive among offices.

Inconvénients :

Sometimes I am logged off of Citrix randomly, or it freezes company- wide and we have to call customer support to get it back and running. I have heard similar accounts from colleagues who work for different companies as well.

When you need a virtual desktop

Avantages :

There are times when an Apple environment just won't work and you need a virtual windows desktop environment. This allows an iPad to be used for almost anything including running Java applications. It is easy to setup and use.

Inconvénients :

Anytime you run a windows environment on an Apple device there will be a slow down. The keyboard also doesn't always stay on the screen and sometimes blocks what you are trying to type.

Unreliable

Avantages :

I have not found anything with this product to be particularly helpful.

Inconvénients :

I find it unreliable and finicky to use very often.

Application delivery driver in a single environment

Avantages :

Citrix allows integration of employee access to a single controller. Therefore, it is easier to manage and control the accesses. Identify failures and incidents.

Inconvénients :

There are some pre settings to use. And most of the time this hurts the use. Like the fact that the plugin only works on a particular operating system. The biggest problems are microinformatics
