VMware Horizon Client Customer Insights

1. Does not allow keyboard / shelf to be hidden ( keeps popping up).Used to work great! Been getting security certificate error for over a month now and won't connect at all (I checked w/IT and it's not a problem with my company's certificate).

2. Most 1-2 star reviews are from people that don't understand what it really is, have incorrectly configured back-ends or don't unserstand that they need to solve their issues with their corporate IT and not just post "I can't login - please fix!!!!" on Google Play.I installed horizon client from playstore on my pixelbook.

3. It works fine when opening through browser so most likely the problem is related to app.The current version of this app cannot perform DNS resolution.

4. Even after logging in through the browser, when I try to connect to my VDI, it keeps trying to launch chrome itself.

5. First is the fact that both Horizon and Workspace One app keeps trying to launch through Chrome.

6. --Final Update-- After stop using it for almost a month, I decided to give it another try since I forgot to bring my work laptop.

7. As long as you keep these two baffling bugs in mind, you'll have no problem accessing a VM with this app; but I can't imagine how it got published in this state.Huge latency on ChromeOS compared to Windows.

8. Update: The issue is still persistent in newer version as well.Plenty of successful login, but automatically disconnects as soon as desktop starts to load.

9. If you enter the IP address of the same server, it will work fine.

10. With such a small display, it is definitely not great to work on.

11. A message briefly appears that I can now resize but when I try to drag the corners resizing is blocked.It is not opening browser for signin.
