The Citrix Workspace app (formerly known as Citrix Receiver) allows users to securely access applications, services, and data from several desktop and mobile devices. By using this app, you can get access to all your Software as a Service (SaaS) and web applications, files, and mobile apps instantly. This workspace can be accessed from various endpoint devices and operating systems, such as Windows, Windows Mobile, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, and more.
Citrix Workspace Ios App Configuration
The Workspace app (along with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops) is the front-end of the Workspace platform. Users have a single entry to their enterprise applications, desktops, and data by using any device from any network. The Citrix Workspace Platform is a single point of entry that allows unified administration of services like Virtual Apps and Desktops, Endpoint Management, Secure Browser, Analytics, Gateway etc. The Workspace Platform allows customers to subscribe to these services and is managed by Citrix, thus reducing the need for deployment and system update by administrators.

Ios Citrix Workspace App
How useful is the Citrix Workspace app?
Use it to access all applications through a single sign-on. Files that are stored centrally are dynamically updated across all devices that can access them. Personal and work-related applications can both exist on any device, without any threat of data breach for a company. Additionally, the app redirects any browsing-related activities to a cloud-hosted web browser, which is isolated from the corporate network. Hence, browsers are more or less secured from a possible cyber-security breach.
Does Citrix Workspace app have any drawbacks?
To use the app, you must have Citrix Virtual Apps—and that is quite expensive. Owing to this dependency, spending a considerable amount on Software does not make much sense for a medium-scale organization. Apart from the cost, Citrix has set the minimum number of users to 25. Hence, if your organization has just 15 members, you are still required to pay the same amount as you would for 25 users’ license.
Common Issues with the Citrix Workspace App
While the security and application delivery of Citrix are useful, its user interface is difficult to maneuver. The user experience is designed for highly skilled IT professionals with in-depth technical knowledge.
Citrix makes it difficult for a user to combine typing, basic clicking, and zooming all at once. It also encounters issues when users try to change the screen resolution. Another common issue with Citrix Workspace App is that organizations need to install Citrix Virtual apps to use Citrix Workspace which is, in fact, expensive. A medium scale organization would most likely not be able to incur the costs associated with it. The minimum number of users available is 25, so an organization that only has 15 users would still have to pay the fee for 25 users.

These limited functionalities of Citrix make it difficult for normal users to effectively reap the benefits of security and application delivery offered by Citrix
Parallels RAS: a better alternative
Parallels® Remote Application Server (RAS) is a virtualization solution that offers high-end features in a single license scheme. Parallels RAS allows you to publish virtual applications and desktops from a centralized location—at an affordable price. With Parallels RAS, you can get all components in a single package for a price that is far more reasonable. Another significant advantage of Parallels RAS is that IT admins can quickly deploy and manage this solution from a single pane of glass.
