Compare Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service to VMware Horizon Cloud
Only Citrix provides complete DaaS and VDI solutions that are secure, quick, and easy to deploy
Other virtual app and desktop vendors may promise a streamlined approach to delivering VDI. But without desktop as a service (DaaS) functionalities, management quickly becomes cumbersome and time consuming. Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops provides advanced monitoring and cloud-native management—everything you need to scale fast and meet the needs of your flexible workforce.
How we’re different
With Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, you choose what works best. Deploy as a cloud service, on-premises or hybrid mix of both. Then use one central cloud console to update your environment in a few clicks. Your users receive a high-definition experience while centralized management and monitoring keeps resources secure.
