(Original )Information
What do you like best about VMware Horizon?

The best thing is we do not have to purchase and configure 25 computers in the office. We intend to phase out physical workstations, pool up the resources in a server and go completely VDI's in the office for all our on-site and remote users.

Vmware Horizon can help with the efficient use of CPU and GPU and distributing it as needed to power users in the office. We currently over-provision hardware for every workstation which does not get used to its full potential every time, thus wasting money and having a longer ROI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware Horizon?

The specific hardware that is required for VGPU's as well as server class CPU's is pricey and the cost of implementation is quite high for a small-medium sized business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Spending money on unused hardware and adding/removing users is a painful, expensive and tedious task with a very long ROI. This problem can be easily resolved by implementing Vmware Horizon across the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VMware Horizon?

I like that VMWare is easy to use and can be used across different devices / platforms. It is easy to support end-users when it comes to device installs, updates, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I dislike about VMWare is the inability to remember certain customizations you make such as internet favorites or having to repeatedly map network drives because they don't carry over from your profile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VMware Horizon?

Peace of mind that our desktops are destroyed after each use and desktops can be microsegmented from the rest of the network while in use. Scalability for remote users is also great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VMware Horizon?

There are more issues with virtual desktops than there are with our physical desktops. There are many components required to have a successful Horizon experience. App Volumes, DEM, NVIDIA card in the Hosts, VSAN, NSX for Microsegmentation. An issue with any of these components can lead to unavailable desktops. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We initially brought in Horizon to reduce PC replacement costs. It also gives us great reliability when adding remote users. We no longer have a dedicated physical PC allocated for each remote user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
