But when it comes to Citrix Remote Working solutions, nothing beats Citrix HDX SmartAccess.
With HDX SmartAccess, end users can access their desktop and applications anytime, anywhere, using any device, including desktops, tablets, smartphones, laptops, and even kiosks. Also, users do not have to remember many passwords or go through numerous authentication requests due to its single sign-on feature.
How does it work?
SmartAccess uses Citrix Access Gateway products, which are offered as a virtual or physical appliance. Citrix Access Gateway allows your employees to access your network securely through an SSL VPN tunnel.
IT staff can configure different access options and security policies with Access Gateway. When an end user connects to the server or the network, the device is scanned and SmartAccess ensures that it complies with the security policies established for it. Depending on how the device complies with the established policies, it will be granted full or partial access. For example, if everything is fine, the user has access to the applications and desktops they want to access. But, for example, if the user is using a public computer in an internet cafe or kiosk, they will only be granted specific access and may not be able to download files or use certain applications.
This means that IT has full control over how you can access your desktop. If you use a device that is not secure, you will have limited access to reduce security risks. However, end users will still have enough access to get their work done, no matter where they are and what device they are using. In short, SmartAccess can help you better manage your Citrix Workforce Mobility and Citrix Remote Working solutions by giving your users a better experience while helping your IT staff stay in control.
