VMware Web Client: why is it 'still' so slow..
Is it just me or is the Web Client still a chore to use on a daily basis?
I find myself forcing myself to use it for ESXi 6.0 content but the slowness of the dam thing compared to the C# thick client is just too much at times.

Flash among other things. VMWare has started down a dark, unsustainable road. I've never seen anyone met anyone that likes the web client.2018 AWS Solutions Architect - Associate (Apr) 2017 VCAP6-DCV Deploy (Oct) 2016 Storage+ (Jan)

For View, it usually performs great, but for whatever reason the web client for vSphere doesn't seem as quick as the thick client. Most people I run across avoid the web client still. -

That is why I always use the fat client then install Guacamole (at least at home and work lab) because the web performance is amazingly better. -

Interesting, maybe I'll check out guac. When I switched from IE and firefox to chrome the performance was noticeably improved but still sluggish.2018 AWS Solutions Architect - Associate (Apr) 2017 VCAP6-DCV Deploy (Oct) 2016 Storage+ (Jan)

Google "Guacamole install script" and download version guacamole-install-script.v099-b2.sh
It will do the whole install for you. You just need a CentOS VM to run it on.
