Desktops or Citrix

by jmadera . Updated 17 years, 7 months ago

We are in the middle of a discussion at my work. See, we currently use Symantec Ghost to image our in coming desktops. Symantec isn’t ready for enterprise management. We also have a helpdesk system that’s good for tracking jobs and does some inventory but its not reliable. Now we have netOctopus and it has limited functionality for pushing out software but it has a good inventory.

We are in the process of making the decision to evalute desktop management software. I am about to test Altiris, LANDesk, and BigFix and Microsoft SMS 2003. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to look for when evaluating software or does anyone have a worksheet that’s used when evaluating software like this.

Another jab, our VP is thinking of converting to a citrix environment using either a thin client or a wyse terminal.

I have the duty of testing, evaluating, and presenting a objective outline. Any ideas or helpful information on citrix vs desktop.
Where should I start.
