I been working with Citrix since the WinCenter days.  Citrix has never integrated their products properly.  Look at the Access Suite ... [CPS requires one to pre-create the datastore database (SQL Server) but creates a file DSN itself.  Resource Manager needs the summary database pre-created and a system DSN with as specific name. Configuration logging database needs to be pre-created and a system DSN with any sort of name.  AAC creates the database (SQL Server) itself and during the install, watch the MASM commands flying past .  What an installation kludge.  CPS administration split between a Java app and an MMC app ... what a disgrace.  I could go on and on and on.

When one installs XenDesktop (for example) there are many items added to the add/remove programs list, instead of just one product.  It'd be a lot simpler to list the one product that the admin installed, then on modify or uninstall show the different components.  Citrix, great for end user features, but no love for administrators.  There are so many admin friendly features that have been requested for 5+ years that have fallen on deaf ears, i.e. farm rename, farm migration, unpublish multiple apps from multiple servers....  You'd think that for what they charge us, more time would be spent on reducing the click count to perform day to day tasks, for people not accomplished with MFCOM.
