Windows RDS is the most commonly used digital workspace technology<\/h3>\n<p>The legacy base technology for remote access is still a very important workhorse for many. However, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops weren\u2019t too far behind. Generally, the larger the business, the more it preferred to use Citrix or Omnissa Horizon.<\/p>\n<p>Although\u00a0 Citrix Cloud has been available for many years, only 17% of respondents said their company (or clients in the case of technology providers) were using it; however, with some incentivized licensing pricing from Citrix around this product we\u2019ll be watching how this grows as renewals come up over the next year, the pricing certainly means many will be having a Citrix Cloud discussion internally.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/windows-rds.jpg?oresize\" alt=\"Windows RDS is the most commonly used digital workspace technology\" width=\"850\" height=\"628\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<table class=\"box-style\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Should your business consider moving to Citrix Cloud or are you already thinking about it?

There is still a lot of resistance to moving to the cloud for digital workspaces<\/h3>\n<p>Analysts, consultants, and technology providers have been talking about cloud migration for a decade now, yet\u00a0 43% of companies say they either have no plans to migrate to cloud-based digital workspaces or will use it as a backup or add-on to their on-premises deployments. One of the biggest reasons cited for this is the ongoing cost associated with cloud deployments.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/resistance-digital-workspaces.jpg?oresize\" alt=\"Moving to the cloud for digital workspaces still faces resistance\" width=\"850\" height=\"628\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"question3\">3. Container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) are generating a surprising amount of interest for digital workspace technologies<\/h3>\n<p>There was reasonable and expected interest in new Citrix &amp; VMware technologies, FSLogix Profiles, and Hyper Converged Infrastructure\u00a0 (HCI), however we were somewhat surprised\u00a0that interest in vGPU technology and containers were tied as the two technologies that IT professionals are most interested in when it comes to digital workspaces.<\/p>\n<p>Previously the domain of applications, it\u2019s interesting to see how containers might evolve to support digital workspaces as well \u2013 this is definitely one we\u2019ll be discussing on our webinar about this survey!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14431\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/container-technologies.jpg?oresize\" alt=\"Container technologies are generating interest\" width=\"850\" height=\"628\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<table class=\"box-style\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Join our panel of experts as they discuss why new technologies like containers are such a hot topic in digital workspaces right now and what it means for virtualization.<\/p>\n<div class=\"btn-style\"><a href=\"https:\/\/content.eginnovations.com\/webinar-digital-workspaces-survey\">Register for the webinar<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h4>Digital workspaces and the pandemic<\/h4>\n<p>Like everyone else, we look forward to the day when the\u00a0 pandemic is consigned to the history books and we can go out and meet everyone safely again. If you work in the IT department, you\u2019re probably looking forward to never seeing another helpdesk ticket where employees are sending non-stop messages that the \u201capplication is slow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What we really wanted to find out from this survey is whether the pandemic served as <em>the great change<\/em> for businesses that had otherwise delayed IT projects and kicked them down the road. Were businesses ready to go from a handful of people working remotely to 100% of the workforce being remote? Here\u2019s what the numbers say&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"question4\">4. Most businesses had to make changes to their digital workspace environment<\/h3>\n<p>While only 16% of businesses had to adopt a digital workspace for its employees for the first time, this isn\u2019t too surprising given that the survey was about digital workspaces. More interesting was that even though most businesses already had a digital workspace set up, 82% of them had to make changes to their deployment.<\/p>\n<p>41% of respondents said they had to add new seats to support the remote workforce. Remarkably, only 18% said that the performance of digital workspaces had become important or a priority for the management team. This is short-sighted in our opinion, as a lack of investment here can impact the overall employee productivity as they struggle with slow applications.<\/p>\n<p>Anecdotally though, we are increasingly hearing requests around insights and metrics associated with user productivity and behavior. Possibly this is a reflection on organizations struggling to change strategies and priorities on short time-scales \u2013 this is definitely a topic we\u2019ll be inviting debate around on our webinar.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14430\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/business-environment-changes.jpg?oresize\" alt=\"Most businesses had to change their digital workspace environments\" width=\"850\" height=\"628\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<table class=\"box-style\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Listen to our panel of experts, Barry Schiffer, Rachel Berry and Eric Haavarstein as they discuss the challenges IT teams have faced during the pandemic and the challenges that the future will bring.<\/p>\n<div class=\"btn-style\"><a href=\"https:\/\/content.eginnovations.com\/webinar-digital-workspaces-survey\">Register for the webinar<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3 id=\"question5\">5. Every IT team struggled with employee internet connectivity issues<\/h3>\n<p>The digital divide between those with fast, reliable internet connections and those still on spotty DSL connections is real. Personally, I\u2019ve been struggling with an internet connection in the UK that gives me 10 Mbps download and a sizzling 512 Kbps upload &#8211; barely enough for a video call. I guess that\u2019s what you get when you live in an apartment block with 400 other people pushing their data down the same internet cables.<\/p>\n<p>The survey respondents know about this problem all too well. 43% said that employees\u2019 poor internet connection was the number one problem they had to face during the pandemic. Incredibly, 14% of respondents said they faced no IT challenges during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/employee-internet-connectivity.jpg?oresize\" alt=\"Internet connectivity issues are common\" width=\"850\" height=\"628\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"question6\">6. Troubleshooting IT problems is <em>really, really <\/em>difficult when you\u2019re not in the room<\/h3>\n<p>If you work in IT, it will come as no surprise that the thing IT professionals said changed the most during the pandemic was that it was more difficult to troubleshoot IT problems remotely. Not only did support staff face the challenges of debugging users remotely, but they themselves were also often working solo and remotely without the back-up of a team of colleagues around them.<\/p>\n<p>Another change that many respondents saw was that management was suddenly a lot more interested in digital workspaces, presumably to make sure the business can continue to function.<\/p>\n<p>17% of respondents were asked to provide employee productivity reports. In some cases this reflects that management still doesn\u2019t trust a remote, work-from-home workforce. However, deeper discussions with some of our customers revealed they were using our products to pro-actively understand and support their users and monitor concerning trends such as users working strange or lengthened hours.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/troubleshooting-it-problems.jpg?oresize\"  width=\"850\" height=\"628\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Troubleshooting IT issues\" \/><\/p>\n<table class=\"box-style\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>How do you troubleshoot digital workspaces and underlying infrastructure when you\u2019re remote?

With that in mind, we asked respondents how they measure the performance of their digital workspaces.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"question7\">7. Native performance monitoring tools are the preferred means to monitor digital workspaces<\/h3>\n<p>This will come as a surprise to no one. Both SolarWinds and Microsoft SCOM made the list even though these tools have very limited built-in capabilities to monitor the digital workspace. This suggests that many organizations have very limited ability\u00a0 to monitor the real user experience of their digital workspace across their entire infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Also of note, the fact that most businesses are using native monitoring tools means that they potentially need multiple screens if they are using more than one digital workspace provider.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14438\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/native-performance-monitoring.jpg?oresize\" alt=\"native performance monitoring tools are preferred for monitoring digital workspaces\" width=\"850\" height=\"628\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<table class=\"box-style\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Can your business manage with just native analytics tools like Citrix Analytics and Director?

There is still a proliferation of IT monitoring tools being used by IT departments<\/h3>\n<p>With all the advances in technology and the constant focus on operational efficiency, we thought that IT teams would be focusing on reducing the number of IT monitoring tools they were using. Instead, 79% of respondents said that their company is using two or more monitoring tools. 33% are using more than 3 monitoring tools.<\/p>\n<p>While that sounds excessive, spare a thought for the 4% of respondents that say their business is using more than 9 monitoring tools to measure the performance of their digital workspaces.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14437\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/it-monitoring-tools.jpg?oresize\" alt=\"There is a proliferation of IT monitoring tools being used by IT departments\" width=\"850\" height=\"628\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<table class=\"box-style\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Does it make sense to use so many monitoring tools?

IT Teams are not convinced about \u2018self-healing\u2019 tools or tools that automatically take corrective action<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s the dream that a tool will identify, troubleshoot, and correct any IT problem that crops up. We\u2019d all like to be like the guy who wrote scripts to automate his job so he never had to work again, but until that day comes, \u201cself-healing\u201d tools might provide the answer.<\/p>\n<p>However, 81% of respondents said that they\u2019d be uncomfortable or even refuse to let a tool automatically take corrective action if it spotted a problem. Just like self-driving cars or self-flying planes, humans seem to still prefer to have humans in overall charge. Indeed, many customers cited regulatory constraints that would prohibit the use of custom scripts or automated action without human review.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14436\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eginnovations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/it-corrective-action.jpg?oresize\" alt=\"IT Teams are not convinced about \u2018self-healing\u2019 tools or tools that automatically take corrective action\" width=\"850\" height=\"628\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Download the full Digital Workspaces Report<\/h4>\n<p>There are 40 pages of insights from the full report.
