Developed
by Citrix Systems, Citrix Workspace is a workspace platform that was launched
in 2018. Workspace allows users to access programs and files from different
sources through a single application or web browser. It is an effective solution
for businesses that need to update their IT infrastructure to keep up with evolving
needs. The main benefits organizations get from using workspace can be divided
into three main areas:
- User experience and productivity
- Cloud transformation and management
- Security and compliance
How workspace
improves user experience and productivity
Workspaces allow
for single sign-on (SSO). This makes it possible for users to access all apps,
desktops, and files they need by signing in only once. This feature works with all
mobile, SaaS, and web apps via the Citrix Gateway service. Workspace also has
a unified interface that brings together everything that teams need to work
together. It easily integrates with many SaaS vendors like Salesforce, SAP
Ariba, G-Suite, Office 365, Oracle, Workday, 15Five, DocuSign, Marketo,
ServiceNow, Slack, Adobe, Concur, Box, Dropbox, Tableau, and others. Through
Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, users can seamlessly switch between devices
and continue an active session. This means that a user can start work on their
desktop and easily switch to their mobile device without the need to start a fresh
session or lose any progress that has been made. These features combined with
many others allows Workspace to deliver a significantly better user experience and
can lead to an increase in productivity.
Workspace’s
impact on cloud transformation and management
Workspaces
can be deployed on public, private, or a hybrid cloud set up. They can also be
used on-premise. All of the deployed workspaces can be administered and managed
from a single administrative interface. This administrative interface is
contextual. It has role-based access control. The Virtual Desktop Interface can
be hosted on a physical platform, hypervisor, or various clouds. It works with
Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Azure, Oracle, etc. Using Workspace
makes it easier for businesses to complete their cloud transformation and
manage their infrastructure.
Security
and Compliance
Workspace
also has features for network security and compliance. It provides end-to-end
visibility and user behavior analytics. It allows for secure browsing of all
internet content. Web filtering allows IT teams to control what internet content
users can access. User behavior analytics make it possible to easily identify anomalies
and enforce security policies.
