When might you use both solutions? Right now we currently use Redirected Folders to map all of the user’s directories but noticed roaming data wasn’t being held. From my understanding, that’s also how Citrix UPM works too(?) I was thinking about implementing FSLogix solely, but, if I can utilize both, why not, right?

You want to limit folder redirection down to what is required - AppData redirection for example is the devil and should be avoided at all costs. As to when you would use these two together, Citrix offers multi-write access to FSLogix Containers, it also adds file based caching in front to improve resilience. You may also want CPM for the profile, and a form of container for cache data - many different scenarios :)
