Citrix Workspace is a digital platform that combines application delivery (VDI/Virtual Apps), device management, and security controls into a single unified interface. It allows users to access Windows, Linux, SaaS, and mobile apps from almost any device (Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Web, Linux). The "Citrix Workspace app" is the client software that replaces the legacy Citrix Receiver.

This transition represents a shift from device management to experience management. Citrix Workspace is a digital platform that combines
