Citrix versus Windows Remote Desktop

[mbarrett65]

My company currently uses Citrix to provide access to our filemaker solution to remote users, and it has worked pretty well. Does anyone know how Windows Remote Desktop compares to Citrix?

Thanks.

Citrix spends less bandwidth than MSRDP; I also hear good stuff about http://www.aquaconnect.net/ my petsonal preference is guacamole https://guacamole.apache.org/

Thank you for your response! What about guacamole makes it your favorite? 

This article http://www.admin-magazine.com/Articles/Guacamole-Remote-Desktop says you can't connect network drives over RDP. I'm not sure what that means. One thing we need to do is upload files from the user's local drive to the Filemaker server via the terminal service. Does Guacamole support that?

No client, it's all HTML5, supports MSRDP and VNC; deployed correctly may or may not be competing with citrix when it comes to bandwidth use.
