Much faster logon, profile rollback, per user per application, we can deliver efficient profile also if profile size is big upm is not supporting and chances of profile corrupt. Support point of view it’s not good.
UPM: User login>> credential>> connected to one server>> profile has been downloaded as a roaming profile>> once user has been log off profile uploaded to back to the file share.
Appsense: Terminal server> Mandatory profile and Temporary profile, nothing has been downloaded, in place of pulling down the roaming profile we actually become more application.
Word> HTTP/HTTPS--------------- DB
Support point of view rollback is the major thing here
AppSense Pros
• Profile Management
• Policy Management
• Application Performance Management
AppSense Cons
Image Management
AppSense Pros
• Application Manager - automatic elevation of certain software to run with admin rights, transparent to users IF you set it all up properly in advance. Once you have this configured, it can be very beneficial.
• Environment Manager - custom actions based on detected conditions. For example, mapping one set of network drives once a user connects to a certain network, and a different set of network drives when they connect to a different network. And automatically remove the network drives when the user disconnects from the network. Do X, Y, and Z if a certain process starts or stops. If process A starts, automatically start process B.
AppSense Cons
• It's buggy in general. I have seen a lot of weird problems caused by AppSense. Corrupt user profiles, random crashes, etc.
• If/Else/ElseIf statements can be confusing to build, especially when nesting several due to the way they are displayed.
• Support is not great.
Citrix UPM Pros
• UPM does extend the features of Microsoft roaming profiles. It gives you the ability to load ADM files and create group policies to set settings.
• With UPM you are able to include or exclude files and folders in a user's profile.
• There are some tie ins between UPM and Citrix Director to give administrators the ability to quickly see the size of the user's profile.
Citrix UPM Cons
• Since UPM manages Microsoft roaming profiles you still face profile size challenges. You can use the exclude feature but it can be a bit limiting.
• Because of size concerns this may not be the best choice for international deployments if you intend to roam settings across multiple environments.
• Troubleshooting UPM can be a bit difficult at times. There are some built in logging features but those are best reviewed by Citrix.
