Updated application virtualization comparison chart!
by Sven Huisman Application virtualization comparison chart, Articles, Downloads Add commentsWe (Matthijs Haverink and I) have updated our application virtualization chart with the latest release of Citrix XenApp 5.0, Microsoft App-V and Xenocode 2008 SP1. We also changed Symantec Appstream in the chart by combining it with SVS pro, a more commonly used combination.
Download the VirtualFuture.info Application comparison chart September 2008 (pdf) and let us know what you think about it!
We would like all the vendors for helping us updating this chart. We would also like to thank van Eldijk Studio’s for creating the virtualfuture.info logo. It will also be used in our upcoming Wordpress theme.

Great job and nice logo! Do you consider the new Novell’s Application Virtualization (http://www.virtualization.info/2008/09/novell-enters-application.html) to be one to one equal to Xenocode?

I haven’t got the change to test the Novell product yet, but I suspect it to be the same as Xenocode.

Great report thanks.
One thing I miss is - does the different vendors support roaming profiles. I have heard that Symantec does not support roaming profiles. I know that App-v does, but I do not know about the others.

Hi Lasse,
Thanks for your comment/question. It’s a good question and I don’t have the answer for that directly. All I can say for now is that we most certainly will adopt the roaming profile option in our next Chart !

SVS does not support roaming profiles. They usually sell Scense in combination with SVS to re solve this issue (and others)

One thing that I find missing about Thinapp. You keep pointing out that there is no central management to see which user has which program but you do not mention that basic Windows security groups and windows group policies do that exactly. Whats best is that most already know how to use those features.
You create a security group for that app. Create the app and assign a security group to the app. Create a group policy that assigns a shortcut to the app or deployes the app, assign that to the security group. Then finaly you add users to that group and everything is central and extremely easy to manage without having to learn new tricks.

Okay, you use Active Directory as your deployment tool for your virtualized applications. That’s fine. We only mention the fact that there is no central management tool for Thinapp, just to compare it with other products that do have a central management tool (most of the them can do a lot more than just deploy the apps).
