Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops context-aware access:
Citrix Gateway incorporates sophisticated endpoint analysis (EPA) and device posture checks to enable trusted devices to access applications or desktops remotely. It does system scans for the operating system, registry, malware, and hard drive encryption, as well as product scans for viruses, all without the requirement for an MDM or EDR solution. Solutions like Zscaler Private Access do not provide these sophisticated capabilities and require a third-party MDM/EDR solution to retrieve a device's contextual information.
Capability to impose contextual access restrictions inside a user session:
SmartAccess (rules governing user behaviour within Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops sessions) and user access control features are Citrix-specific regulations enforced via ICA/HDX protocol. Citrix-specific restrictions include those that disable network drive mapping and copy/paste/print. These policies are critical, even more so if users work in healthcare, banking, manufacturing, or another industry where regulatory compliance and security are paramount. Citrix Gateway controls and enforces these regulations, and they cannot be used with a third-party provider.
Deliver outstanding performance on networks with high latency:
Citrix Enlightened Data Transport (EDT) enables a high-definition in-session user experience with high-quality audio and video for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops. EDT is critical, even more so now that many workers work remotely and are connected via home Wi-Fi, which has a higher latency than a corporate LAN. Only Citrix Gateway supports EDT, enabling users to give their Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops the highest performance possible.
