Citrix Workspace App (formerly Citrix Receiver) is the client component of XenDesktop, and XenApp, developed by Citrix Systems. It was released initially in 2009.
Product Overview
[edit | edit source]Citrix Receiver is the client component of XenDesktop or XenApp.[1] Devices with Receiver installed are able to access full desktops via XenDesktop or individual applications via XenApp from a centralized host, such as a server or cloud infrastructure.[2] Its primary users are employees.[3]
Citrix Receiver is not a standalone product; it is included with XenApp and XenDesktop.[4]
In reviews, Citrix Receiver has been noted positively for its reasonably fast loading time[5] and flexibility in allowing remote desktop access from a variety of computer and mobile platforms.[6] However, reviewers also criticized its iPhone version for difficulty in formatting text and prolonged typing, tasks that normally required a keyboard and mouse.[6] The iPad version experienced similar accessibility issues, and the performance of Flash applications was highly limited.[5] To address this, Citrix developed a mouse for iOS devices.[7]
Update from the Citrix Website:[8]
As of August 2018, Citrix Workspace app has replaced Citrix Receiver. Citrix Workspace app is a new client from Citrix that works similar to Citrix Receiver and is fully backward-compatible with your organization’s Citrix infrastructure. Citrix Workspace app provides the full capabilities of Citrix Receiver, as well as new capabilities based on your organization’s Citrix deployment.
History
[edit | edit source]Prior to Receiver, Citrix had a different client for each of its products. The company developed Receiver to handle the management of those clients.[9] Citrix Receiver was announced in 2009 and the first version became available later that year.[10] Citrix Receiver won several mobility awards after its release, including a CRN Appy, and "Best of Interop" award for Wireless & Mobility in 2011,[11] and a Global Mobile Award in 2012.[12] As of August 2018, Citrix Workspace app has replaced Citrix Receiver.[13]
