Logging in and connecting to remote applications is very simple and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like that I lose my login after about 5-10 minutes. In reality, this is a security issues and not so much an issue with Citrix itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Citrix has an easy to manage interface which is quite Administrator friendly. One can manage the XenServer clusters.
Citrix XenServer offers great features in terms of Networking. It offers SR-IOV capabilities that enable low bandwidth network connection for the Virtual Machines. On top of that, its easy to manage networks and create bonded network for performance and reliability is easy.
In terms of Storage, Citrix XenServer offers great features like SMB Storage, Live Migration etc. It offers dedicated features of Citrix Virtual apps and desktops such as MCS Read Cache and PVS Accelarator that boost the performance of VDI tremendously. PVS Accelerator drastically brings down the boot time for Network streamed machines by caching them locally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The knowledge base is not big enough to have solutions for all the issues out there. Most of the time you will fix the Cluster just by restarting the xapi service. However, you will not find a exact solution or the exact cause on why something happened. Though, the Hypervisor itself is very good in terms of perfomances and managability.

Customization is not feasible, complete command-based Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Citrix hypervisor (XenServer) is a great and best hypervisor.
Hardware requirements are less and compatible with any devices, Laptop, etc.
Interface is easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The software needs upgrade, sometimes it's slow and take more time than expected to complete a task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best part of Citrix Hypervisor is that its is easy to manage and relatively cheap in exploration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The main problem is the lack of solution of automatic backup of the vms, either local or cloud. The pools are allowed only between similar hardware which is not always handy during the vms motion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Citrix Hypervisor (formally called XenServer) is very stable and is my Citrix XenDesktop/XenApp hypervisor platform for my hospital and does everything extremely well. I do not need all the extra bells and whistles to establish a very sound hypervisor platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My current version did not allow for the XenMotion to migrate a VM with a vGPU attached (similiar to vMotion in VMWare) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
To access the tool from anywhere with the minimum system and hardware requirements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As it is virtual, slow down on server can badly impact the workflows Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease of use of Citrix is awesome because all your favourite apps are all in one easy to locate place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't think there is something I really hate about Citrix. Everything i've used so far has been very easy to use and nothing comes to mind about anything I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best part I loved about it that I can work with any of the Virtual System accordingly. Like I have Libre Application installed on my system, but, when I want to work on Microsoft Office application, I access Xen Center and work on any machine having required MS Office version.One can easily save the space on his/her system when there is an application installed on VM, then there is no need to install, if the size of the application is big, that on your system, this will not only increase the space but, allows a user to work with more software also.

The thing I didn't like at all is that We have to keep patience while working with Citrix. It works very slow sometimes. Especially when I have to complete my work on urgent basis then I face difficulties with its speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
