"Great software"

4/5

What do you like best about Citrix Secure Private Access?

Citric ensures that all of my business operations run smoothly and without any hassles. I deal with a lot of data that is confidential as well, but the fact that I know it is fully secure and cannot be breached by any alien party makes Citrix the most suitable workspace platform for me.

"Disables your graphics card"

0/5

What do you like best about Citrix Secure Private Access?

It works well for work on a work-only Pc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Citrix Secure Private Access?

It does not appear suitable for remote working. If you find your games start to stutter after installing or upgrading Citrix check to see if it has installed it Citrix Display Adapter which disables your graphics card. There are some fixes and workarounds on Google but it was tough and costly trying to work out what the issue was creating the conflict. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Citrix Receiver provides reliable remote access for healthcare providers."

4/5

What do you like best about Citrix Secure Private Access?

Considering the security required to conform to healthcare privacy law, the Citrix Workspace works remarkably well. Other services required to provide this level of privacy can be slow and unreliable, and Citrix generally isn't. I use it to provide remote patient care on my personal computer using the Epic electronic medical record. I also appreciate that it updates discretely in the background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Citrix Secure Private Access?

Occasionally, when starting, the workspace will time out before launching. This used to happen more frequently, but still happens time to time. There is no way to update manually that I know of. It is slightly slow to launch as well, but that's may be due to my organization's encryption requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Citrix Secure Private Access:

Citrix is a great method of providing remote electronic medical record access during the age of telehealth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Citrix Secure Private Access solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have always used Citrix Receiver to work on patient charts from home. However, when the COVID-19 pandemic began, I needed to conduct telehealth appointments from home. That was a true test of Citrix's 24/7 reliability to make sure no technical issue interfered with patient care, and it didn't let me down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent for secure, seamless, remote application access"

5/5

What do you like best about Citrix Secure Private Access?

Easy installation and deployment through SCCM. Even without a remote deployment tool such as SCCM, installation is quite simple. Having SCCM or similar just makes the deployment that much easier. I have also never run into any compatibility issues, even with older legacy applications.

We have several legacy applications that fall under the traditional client-server model, but are required to run across our enterprise. While there are other options available, Citrix Workspace allows for most efficient delivery of these applications while ensuring that the apps are delivered securely.

It is also very simple to administer, even for those who do not have prior experience with Citrix products as the interface is very straightforward and to the point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Citrix Secure Private Access?

Users who are used to the Citrix Receiver UI may need some retraining. Also, the user interface, while pretty straightforward to those with Citrix Receiver experience, is a bit clunky at times. I believe there are some optimizations that can be made in order to improve Citrix Workspace speed on machines that are not high on resources.

I would also say that some of the authentication options could be laid out a little more clearly as some of the LDAP options are hard to follow at times. It seems like there is a bit of overlap between options. This would also apply to Citrix Policies as well. Also, regarding Citrix Policies, there are several policies that seem to overlap with Windows Group Policy, so it becomes difficult to choose the correct option/policy to set. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Citrix Secure Private Access:

Make sure to test whether your legacy applications are compatible with the current version of Citrix Workspace before deploying. While I have personally not experienced issues when upgrading to the latest version of Citrix Workspace, it is highly recommended to test thoroughly so as to avoid compatibility issues.

It would also be very beneficial to view Citrix's various offerings before making a choice as they offer a full suite of products. Familiarize yourself with these products in order to make sure you choose the correct one for your use case.

Feel free to test out other solutions as well and do your due diligence, but I am sure you will end up choosing Citrix/Workspace due to its feature set. Citrix has really done a great job over the years to simplify the application delivery process. While there are other products that provide a similar solution, Citrix is the only one that has pioneered the technology and made it truly seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Citrix Secure Private Access solving and how is that benefiting you?

Delivering legacy applications to our end users in a quickly and efficiently.

I have used other solutions that delivery applications in a similar manner, but none have been quite as good as Citrix, Citrix Workspace in particular. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy navigation and great for remote work!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Citrix Secure Private Access?

Citrix is a great platform for accessing remote applications such as EPIC/ORCA and others. Great for use when working remotely, especially during this time of the COVID-19 outbreak. I work in healthcare and need to access patient charts at home, and Citrix allows me to do that easily and safely. The layout is very clear and easy to navigate, showing all your applications on one page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Citrix Secure Private Access?

Initially when you sign in, it can sometimes lag or take longer than usual. I'm not sure if this is an internet connection problem on my end or the application itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, Efficient, Minimalistic"

4/5

What do you like best about Citrix Secure Private Access?

The Patient Access List shows new orders to review, current and past medications, orders, activities, and makes it super easy to chart them off right from the PAL, without the need to open each individual chart. You can also open lab orders right from the PAL, making it quick and efficient to print all of the requisitions (super useful when you have labs due on 10+ patients at one time). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Citrix Secure Private Access?

The design looks very outdated. It is easy to use and efficient, but it could use an update to make it look more modern, like how Epic looks. The functionality is there, it just looks very old-school and outdated. Another issue is that it does not automatically refresh. You have to manually refresh the site every couple of minutes or you could miss new orders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
