Citrix Workspace is client software for accessing work resources, including virtual apps and desktops delivered from on-premises infrastructure, public clouds, or hypervisor platforms. Users can connect through the installed app or a browser; listed clients include Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, ChromeOS, and HTML5. Citrix describes a unified portal and single sign-on for sanctioned web, SaaS, and client-server apps. Access controls can consider a user's role, location, or device to help protect sensitive data. Administrators configure purchased Citrix Cloud services and provide access through Workspace integrations, while monitoring capabilities support troubleshooting hybrid Citrix environments. Authentication options vary: StoreFront Cloud supports several identity providers and a time-based token as a second factor for Active Directory sign-in, though users can currently enroll one device at a time. The Windows app supports TLS 1.2 and 1.3. Pricing is available on request. Citrix advises end users to consult their system administrator or IT help desk for setup information and company-specific version requirements.
