What do you like best about VMware Horizon?

The 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!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware Horizon?

It 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? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VMware Horizon solving and how is that benefiting you?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
