Based on uncertainty regarding Citrix licensing, we're looking at VMWare Horizon for application delivery. Has anyone made this transition who can share their experience?

My experience is a bit dated (10 years, much has changed), but Citrix licensing was extremely confusing. I suppose flexible is a better word than confusing, but our experience is that it was not helpful nor flexible when in a pilot global VDI deployment of graphically intensive engineering work requiring tuning and adjustment of the footprint and piloting concurrency. We migrated to VMWare which was simpler licensing, equally performant and easier in operations to manage. I think the comparison requires understanding the footprint. Ours was for 4 major engineering centres on 3 continents with about 100 concurrent engineering visualisation and commitment transactions and several thousand viewers. 
However, both solutions have evolved significantly in the last 5 years, so this may not be useful. I would encourage in this area to negotiate a low-cost to no-cost pilot on your real application delivery footprint. We ran our real-world pilot for 3 months during the high season.

We are looking for a strong Oracle Unifier systems integrator.  Would love to know if anyone has had some exceptional experience with a company in this space. 

I am looking for an EDI parser which is a light weight, SaaS and can be run as serverless (recommended) to perform EDI transaction (834, 837 etc) HIPAA validation. 
So far, I could find Edifecs, ediFabric, Stedi and IBM ITX in the market. Can anyone provide their experience or recommendation on different tools on the market that we should evaluate?
