### "Very good option for virtualization of desktop environment" — 4.0/5

> **Rafael** | *22 June 2021* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The features to display and virtualize a desktop enviironment is very important, the control features with management is very good and intitutive.
> 
> **Cons**: The cost of the software depends of the features that you want and the cost is high if you want all  the features, the implementation onsite could be very difficult especially for security and firewall policies. If you decide to have the solution on cloud, you can avoid these but you have to validate if you data can be store in public cloud.
> 
> Very good experience in general, the software gives a robust experience ofr VDI solutions, only you need to invest time in development.

### "Good virtual Desktop software" — 3.0/5

> **George** | *14 June 2021* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: the main benefit of using this software is, I don't need to connect to my client's network to provide my service.
> 
> **Cons**: performance could be a concern in some circumstances, and nobody know how to diagnose, because it can be the client network, internet provider or the host servers, the possibility is just endless, so nobody take ownership of the problem.
> 
> I am OK with the software, as it provide what I need to simulate having a physical pc connecting to the client network.
