FSLogix vs. CPM Containers

Everyone knows that I have been a huge promoter of FSLogix since its inception many years ago. However, Citrix Profile Management (CPM) has come along way. It offers profile containers similar to FSLogix but with more advantages. See the table later in the article for key feature differences. One of the biggest selling points of CPM is that it comes with Citrix. There is nothing additional that you need to install to get it to work, and it works pretty effectively out of the box.

As you can see CPM stands up against FSLogix pretty well including the ability to do Synchronous GPO processing which makes logons much faster from a CPM perspective over FSLogix.

I am not saying go out and switch but I would definitely try it out.
