I am able to access all files necessary. Cons Cons - it's slow. This could be a result of my wireless strength or the servers or speed on the VPN but it is slow. It also only works about 50% of the time. I almost always need to attempt to reconnect 2-3 times before becoming successful. It always fails to pick up my Citrix app. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

We use Citrix throughout New York and Florida- and it's beneficial being able to view the shared drive among offices. Cons Sometimes I am logged off of Citrix randomly, or it freezes company- wide and we have to call customer support to get it back and running. I have heard similar accounts from colleagues who work for different companies as well. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

This allows an iPad to be used for almost anything including running Java applications. It is easy to setup and use.

Pros You can purchase hardware appliance or software (virtual machine). Places like Google use Netscaler for the SSL offloading. It is also used a lot for load-balancing and SSL VPN. What can be done with the NetScaler is amazing. You can define rules to rewrite TCP packets to support custom applications (usually this is for authentication). Citrix support is great and top-notch. Cons The complexity can be overwhelming. It's not the kind of thing you just plug in and learn by clicking on stuff. You need to have a deep understanding of networking. The price is also a drawback, as these things are expensive.

Pros I dont think there is anything out there that is as useful or flexible as Citrix when it comes to running a remote office. It is the ultimate mobile office I can access on any PC anywhere in the world and if Im caught on the run i can access my reports on my phone or tablet. Cons Although it has improved significantly over the years the mobile apps are still a bit clunky unless you have a mouse to navigate around, the mouse tool does work but can be a bit slow and inaccurate. I dont need to use it on my mobile device for long so its not a big issue for me but my supervisors with big fingers do find it a bit awkward.
