Horizon HTML Access

Hi Guys

Anyone using Horizon HTML Access, am interested to know if your users face any issues and whether you would recommend its use. Would like to have this information as we are also considering giving this option to our users

Hi,

My work experience with the product leads me to say that it is very valid and that the problems relating to users are minimal. However, it means little to you, because every environment is different.

I advise you to search the various KB for any problems that may occur:

example:

VMware Horizon HTML Access 5.3 Release Notes

VMware Knowledge Base

read the troubleshooting section on page 64 and 65 of the attached document

As previously commented, each environment and requirement is different.  However, at a high level, one of the biggest differences I have observed is that you cannot redirect local devices (USB thumb drives, for example) over an HTML session.  If that's not a big deal to your users or organization, it will be an easier "sell". 

It's pretty easy to enable HTML access (it won't interfere with your current way of accessing) and then you could identify a sample set of your user population to test it out and provide feedback.
