Is CITRIX as a product dead or dying in 2017? I think it is - what do you think?

There seems to be two distinct camps CAMP1 - say it is dying slowly thanks to cloud CAMP2 say it is ideal for SOE and will always have a place. Do you agree ? What would you suggest if Citrix is not your option in the right environment.

 predict that by the end of next year, VMware Horizon 6 will be neck-and-neck with Citrix XenDesktop / XenApp in the enterprise.

I base this prediction on talking to many customers (several of them very large), who are seriously looking at Horizon 6 as their next platform to replace their current XenApp 6.x environments. In fact I’d say that almost every company is considering it (as they should—competition is a good thing), with many saying it’s a forgone conclusion that they’ll migrate from XenApp to Horizon during their next update cycle.
