What differentiates Omnissa Horizon from other similar products?

Omnissa Horizon is perfect when it comes to situations where teams separated based on geographical distances that need to be controlled, like international projects where immediate status, as wells as status-updates would be very important. Having a central location of information and real-time analytics has proven to completely change how we organize how we operate and our progression.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Its intuitive interface can be used by both an experienced user and a novice without any difficulty, whereas the predictive analytics system generates tempting projections, enabling us to foresee the outcomes and alter the strategy accordingly

What do you dislike most about this product?

It lacks in report customization in that the customization of reports in it is not so good as compared to the other programs; most of the reports are detailed; however, a user who wants to customize a lot of facts may get a bit limited

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

As a result of this, we have enjoyed the benefits in our overall business goals, first, the predictability, which the analytical reports have given us has enabled us to make better informed strategic adjustments that have led to an increase of 20 percent in operational efficiencies and the fact that we can see in real-time where the resources are has had a positive impact of interdepartmental collaboration even though we are spread out, it has enabled us to have a more united place of workplace.

Helps Innovate
