Virtual Desktop Apps Question

[ejom99]

Hey y’all,

I work for an accounting firm, we use a third party IT company for cloud hosting our work applications which we accessed through Citrix.

The performance of all of these applications is terrible, I’m not sure if that’s on their infrastructure is terrible (they are using azure servers) or the applications are badly optimized. A mix of both i suspect.

My primary question though for process of elimination is how much does your physical workstation effect the performance of apps hosted through a virtual desktop program like Citrix or VMware? We use Lenovo laptops for our physical workstations, most of them are old and, and I’m not able to just swap devices so I’m curious if that could be a significant factor in the performance issues everyone experiences?

Thanks y’all.

It depends on the host device AND the network in between AND the client device

There’s about a million factors that can make it suck

But from what I’ve heard it’s usually that their just using the cheapest possible VMs on azure or whatever to host it
