Desktops and applications with Essentials
Cloud Worker
Conclusions
The current separation between the VDI desktop and applications does not make Citrix Essentials interesting for every company. The respective use case decides: The solution is ideally suited for external employees or individual project teams who need a workstation quickly. Companies that do not yet operate their own Citrix infrastructure can benefit from Citrix Essentials. Note that there is no investment outlay, only operating costs.
Companies with complex applications that require access to many components or many customizations will find fault with the lack of infrastructure management components and the inability to use existing licenses in Citrix Essentials. However, for those who perceive that Citrix Essentials has too many limitations, Citrix provides XenApp and XenDesktop Services.
