VDI solutions. Microsoft, VMWare View, Citrix XenDesktop, etc?

Hi All,

As the title says: VDI solutions. Microsoft, VMWare View, Citrix XenDesktop, etc?

About 6 years ago we had Citrix and to be honest, while it meet basic needs - anything above Office was shocking. Now a days, TS (and the newer VDI) has moved on quite a bit and (I believe) can meet our needs. Added to this I have to reduce our overall operating costs (this includes power, rolling replacements, vandalism, etc) as well as re-organise workloads (from fixing vandalised equipment and reimaging PC's to more proactive tasks).

Price wise the order for us would be: Microsoft, VMWare then Citrix. However while price does play a big factor into things, that's not the only thing we have to consider.

So my question for you guys/gals who have already gone thru this process are...

1. What did you end up going for?
2. How was it/how is it going?
3. How easy/hard was it to set up?
4. Any other info regarding this can you give?

Thanks

-Ken

I did my own comparison in 2009 settled on XenDesktop, but the VDI space is moving very fast and things have changed since them.
