So my Citrix renewal just went up 3x per month from my partner. WTF! I think it's time to entertain going back to physical perhaps....

Ouch, have several customers feeling this…Combined with VMware cost increase as well
n
15 locations and vpn's all around, physical doesn't scare me too much, however i would need a reliable roaming profile solution i think

oof

One thing to consider, plenty of new solutions are out there... Also, with Omnissa leaving VMware, this opens the door as a potential option for consideration.

I see lots of AVD in people's future.

avd would be way too costly and you gotta add on nerdio to make it usable...
gotta check out parallels ras, however we run a bunch of pi4's and they no longer have an arm client i believe...

We use AVD and Nerdio. Nerdio does an excellent job of cutting down our AVD spend by about 60%. It definitely has a good ROI.

so rough numbers, i'm at $21/user/month just for citrix licensing, everything is on prem. i can't reduce any esx hosts even with citrix going away. no way avd+nerdio are going to get anywhere close to that price....
r
You might look at Workspot. They can do On-Premise. I have not priced them, but they claim to be cheaper than Citrix.

Majority of the customers I speak with in the nordics is considering avd on Azure stack HCI
remove alot of licensing costs
r
But has to be Azure Stack hardware

Curious to know how much the license increases amount to and if anyone has really abandoned Citrix in recent times and in favor of what.

I know I know 😂 well the license cost has its benefits depending on usage

I know, I read it 😄

@Nick Casagrande Challenge accepted. Let’s do the numbers together
n
anyone copy a citrix gold image to parallels ras? i'm guessing just uninstall the vda, right?

New pricing strategy seems to be called "Titanic" 😖 🤷🏻‍♂️

Physical... I would engage Liquidware. Same engine can handle app deployment and profile management seamlessly between cloud, on prem virtual, and physical which is a big deal right now.

@Nick Casagrande Dont know how many users you have, but you can get AVD down under $20 per user per month. Windows 11 : 200hours per month for a 4cpu 16gb ram is $54, you get atleast 4-6users on that host

thank yo for those numbers, thats definitely interesting, but not something we can accomplish in a short time frame. we have still have data that lives on prem and a sql based accounting system that we are in the process of moving to 365 biz central, but that's 12 months away i suspect.
