VMware is the de facto leader in Virtualization
5 Star! This is the best of breed in virtulatzation.
PROSThe ability to expertly support work from home initiatives.
CONSDue to its feature rich offerings, it does come with a high level of complexity which means there is a steep learning curve, but well worth the effort.
Reason for choosing VMware Horizon
VMware is a superior product in all aspects of this type of software, from the actual software itself, to support, training, and the large community of VMware users.

Very good option for virtualization of desktop environment
Very good experience in general, the software gives a robust experience ofr VDI solutions, only you need to invest time in development.
PROSThe features to display and virtualize a desktop enviironment is very important, the control features with management is very good and intitutive.
CONSThe cost of the software depends of the features that you want and the cost is high if you want all the features, the implementation onsite could be very difficult especially for security and firewall policies. If you decide to have the solution on cloud, you can avoid these but you have to validate if you data can be store in public cloud.
Reason for choosing VMware Horizon
Citrix dont have some of the features that the highest version of VMware Horizon gives, for base VDI solution Citrix works very good like VMware Horizon.

Recommended platform for smart working
I use the application to connect to my work virtual computer, it makes working remotely from home much easier. It is easy to access, using vdi if you have a good internet connection works very well. It is a very good option for companies to provide access to work computers and facilitate smart working.
CONSThe negative point is that the VDI connection can easily drop if you have internet connection problems.

Good virtual Desktop software
I am OK with the software, as it provide what I need to simulate having a physical pc connecting to the client network.
PROSthe main benefit of using this software is, I don't need to connect to my client's network to provide my service.
CONSperformance could be a concern in some circumstances, and nobody know how to diagnose, because it can be the client network, internet provider or the host servers, the possibility is just endless, so nobody take ownership of the problem.

VMware Horizon
One of the best tool for delivering applications and virtual desktops / laptops. Users are at ease for its usability and its functionality. File transfer is very fast and manageable. Once the setup and configuration is up, the system is consistent and reliable. It is very flexible to configure on any kind of environment.
PROSFor working from remote it is a great tool for any network engineer. Displaying a virtual desktop in from of you and operating it at ease is its biggest feature. It is easy to setup, no big glitches or dramas. For Security point of view it one of best in market. Voice and graphics management is also the part of it. You can have the similar experience on any of the system like windows, Mac or mobile.
CONSIt's a bit pricey if you opt for all products. Implementation is bit tricky it you have network polices and firewall engage. Performance can be downgraded sometimes and its difficult to track it too. To manage this tool one has to be experienced person.

VMWare Horizon Review
More robust platform then Citrix and easier to use after the initial setup is configured and completed. It allows for consistent deployments across a diverse environment within a single pain of glass.
PROSVSphere management tools are the best in the business. Support is responsive and extremely knowledgeable, and it just works! VDI desktop delivery has been seemless.
CONSProfile management can be difficult to handle as well redeploying because of Windows updates and the costs can get out of hand for all the licenses.
Reason for choosing VMware Horizon
Only vendor we looked at because of poor citrix performance

The tool to trust
It allows me to connect with a virtual environment later used to support the IT service I provide. Thanks to the direct connection with VDI (administrative virtual machine) provided by Horizon Client, I have access to other required virtual resources.
PROSThe role of this tool is to connect with a virtual environment to operate and do the job by using it in many ways, and this is especially important to have this connection always available, and this is exactly what Horizon Client gives me. I have used this tool for around ten years, almost every day, and It always works!!
CONSIt is hard to say something negative about this product. You can easily integrate it with other VMware software; the user interface is simple. Maybe more colors in the GUI?

Well made software for daily use
All in all, it’s a powerful application, that you can easily use for your need with lots of customizations.
PROSI really like the way of deploying a whole machine or an application on it, that’s really straightforward.
CONSIn my experience, once we had some applications provisioned for clients, there was some resources allocation issue which was solved after some investigations.
