compare Wage - Citrix XenApp vs VMware Horizon - Skype for Business -

In most companies and organizations it is becoming normal that members of a team are distributed nationally or even globally. The reasons are varied and include the well-known trend towards telecommuting / teleworking, the need to work together find workers with suppliers or customers as well as new forms of crowdsourcing.

Microsoft's Skype for Business is one of the most widespread solutions, the real-time collaboration and unified communications allow.

has

Citrix worked in close partnership with Microsoft to integrate closely XenApp / XenDesktop with Skype for Business. This ensures a high usability when Skype is used published as part of a published desktop or as a stand-alone application, as well as users from a non-Windows-based endpoint connect (eg MacBook or Dell Wyse thin client

in contrast, other providers (VMware, in this case) does not integrate their VDI / HSD solutions with Skype for companies that have less than optimal end user in one. this leads to significant differences in the user <- -> interaction with the user, who we tried to highlight in the video below.

in case you're wondering why you just see the Skype chat window ( with a small message at the bottom) with VMware Horizon App, but not the introduction of the space shuttle, this is because Horizon not support microphones and webcams on RDS server. This means that the text chat is substantially all, can use, and you will see the error message above faced in If you try to start a session UC.

, the low quality video on Horizon VDI (desktop) is caused by the fact that the webcam video feed must be transferred to the virtual desktop, there is reproduced as video and then send over the wire back , This causes high CPU on network load on the VDI system.

Unlike post with Citrix, the audio and video streaming media from one end point to another without touching the data center to do so. Therefore, the CPU and network usage drops significantly and the user experience better (like a native Skype installation)
