Vmware Ho...

70/100

VMware Horizon serves healthcare, finance, and government organizations that require air-gapped data security and strict compliance controls. IT departments with existing VMware expertise can leverage deep vSphere integration for efficient大规模的虚拟桌面部署. Creative agencies, startups under 100 employees, or Mac-native development shops typically find the infrastructure overhead and licensing complexity unsustainable.

Citrix Da...

70/100

Citrix DaaS excels for healthcare, finance, and engineering teams requiring secure access to legacy Windows applications from any device. Organizations with simple cloud-native workflows or Mac-centric creative teams will find the infrastructure overhead unnecessary and the user experience restrictive compared to modern SaaS alternatives.
