Find out in this report how the two Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
Citrix Workspace is a robust, stable Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) solution that provides integrated, secure access to content, applications, desktops, and resources from anywhere, using any device. These resources can be local, mobile, web, browser, content applications, SaaS, and Citrix DaaS.
Citrix Workspace gathers and combines the best of Citrix Cloud services, enabling secure access to all the resources available to the organization's end‑users in one location.
Users are able to view each resource that they have been given access to via the Citrix Workspace user interface (UI). Users are able to access all the services that have been assigned to them in the Workspace Configuration portal either through the browser using the Workspace URL or through the Citrix Workspace application, which has replaced Citrix Receiver.
Users can easily authenticate their workspaces using the credentials preset in the primary identity provider that is part of the Identity and Access Management which then will automatically enable in Workspace Configuration. This will immediately authenticate the subscriber to each cloud‑hosted service purchased and assigned for their specific unique Citrix Workspace. This guarantees increased security and minimizes any user anomalies.

It makes it easy for us to give storage, memory, RAM, or processor resources without anything affecting their day-to-day activity.” Letarik D., Software System Team Leader at Ethiopian Roads Administration.
“I work for the State of Illinois, and we were able to stay open and provide services for the needs of the people of the State of Illinois during COVID, which included unemployment services and everything else like that. Its user-friendliness is most valuable. It was easy to login and navigate. Some solutions are not very user-friendly, but this one was.” Cheri S., Information Systems Analyst II at the State of Illinois.
