But what is the real costs? Citrix's Solution is CCU where as Microsoft is not. Also, doesn't App-V require SA and an Enterprise agreement?

Thanks for the advice Steve. XenApp Enterprise does like kind of pricey (likely at least another $100USD/concurrent user) App-V TS is less than $40USD though with the integration with Citrix it might be worth it. Definitely going to pit them head to head. -Matt On Sat, Feb 7, 2009 at 9:59 AM, Steve Greenberg <steveg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > We have done it for many years primarily with SoftGrid, now Microsoft App-V. > At this point for use in a Citrix farm I would suggest testing the Citrix > streaming solution.
