I've lost track of what version of XenApp you would need to get whatever
they renamed AIE to.
I have a lot of customers that combine XenApp with App-V quite successfully.
I can't really speak as to why. In a few cases it is because they used
SoftGrid before Citrix had a solution -- but most of those I have seen
lately have chosen this route even though they have access to a full Citrix
Solution. Some customers are App-V with Terminal Services only, but many
more are using Citrix (leaving the desktop-only customers aside right now).
As to other options, most would be under consideration for desktop
deployments only. For the XenApp farm I would rate App-V as tops and Citrix
(name of the season) very close (possibly ahead if it ends up being free for
you and you don't have too many "hard" apps).
Keep in mind that I am biased towards App-V.

Looking to test this for our Citrix farm in the near future. My
objective is to sequence most apps we use on our farm to make the
actual Citrix server nothing more than an OS and place for the
virtualized apps to run. What do you use? Why did you choose/stick
with this product? I know Citrix has their own app streaming in
XA5.0, but don't you have to run Enterprise or Platinum editions to
get this functionality? Anyone use App-V for Terminal Services? Is
this better/worse solution than Citrix? Other products I should try
evaluating that do this would also be welcome.
