User reviews

This app has been going backwards for a while now and has proven to be less reliable. There is little to no help or support.

For the most part, this application works fairly well. I have done most of my work with the Chromebook and this client. However, there are times, such as initial logging in, where all I get is a blank screen. This forces me to use a different computer to log in. After that, there doesn't seem to be a lot of difficulty using the client. I do realize, from reading a number of reviews, that VMWare is slow to do anything about these issues if they respond at all.
