This course gave me what I wanted to learn to sharpen my VMware Horizon expertise. The major features of the training were live sessions and hands-on labs so I was able to understand and practice difficult topics easily. One of the best things I noticed about Vinsys is that instructors were always willing to answer my questions, and their platform was very user-friendly. Having their detailed resources, the 2V0-51.23 exam preparation was a cakewalk.
