Generally VM Ware is better than all Citrix, Hyper V and Virtual Box etc. But I suggest to use VMWare on linux/Unix environment. Hyper V in Microsoft environment and Citrix for desktop virutalization.

From my point of view

VMware more suitable for virtualizing servers and desktop in terms of manageability and cost

 

Citrix is better in Application virtualization.

Citrix  ... more beneficial.. more money

Citrix is better in Applications & Desktop Virtualization

Vmware is good for Server virtualization however cost wise its too high, Moreover many customer going with Hyper-V with Citrix combition for Desktop & Applications virutalization (DaaS & SaaS)

VMWare . Industry proven. Robust . And Industry leader as one of the Pioneer. Remember Virtualization is a relatively new technology, VMWare as a pioneer did manage to iron out a lot of bugs.
