What it is

Citrix Workspace is client software for secure access to work resources, including virtual apps and desktops delivered from on-premises infrastructure, public clouds, or hypervisor platforms. Users can connect through the installed app or a browser, with clients listed for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, ChromeOS, and HTML5. Citrix describes a unified portal and single sign-on for sanctioned web, SaaS, and client-server apps. Access controls can use context such as role, location, or device to help protect sensitive data. Administrators configure purchased Citrix Cloud services and enable access through Workspace integrations. Citrix also describes monitoring and troubleshooting for hybrid environments. StoreFront Cloud supports several authentication options, and its time-based token can serve as a second factor for Active Directory sign-in; users can enroll one device at a time. Pricing is available on request. The supplied product URL redirects to Citrix’s broader Citrix Platform page.
