If you are rethinking your Citrix investment, Omnissa can help ease and accelerate your migration to market-leading Omnissa Horizon®. We are the digital work platform leader, trusted by over 26,000 customers as the former VMware End-User Computing business unit, with decades of experience delivering solutions for the digital workplace.
We have been migrating Citrix customers to Horizon for years. Based on that experience, we now offer expert assistance to speed and de-risk your move to the predictable Horizon solution. We shorten your learning curve and ease deployment so you can migrate to Horizon before your next Citrix renewal and enjoy a lower total cost of ownership.
In the months leading up to your Citrix renewal, Omnissa can help you get Horizon deployed in a production or test environment, on-premises or in the cloud, to validate your apps and use cases, including:
We realize VDI and published app expertise is in short supply, so our Omnissa Horizon Accelerator managed services offering can now be used to migrate you from Citrix to Horizon. Upon purchase of Horizon licensing and Horizon Accelerator managed services, our expert staff will perform the migration from Citrix to Horizon and then run the environment for you. It doesn’t get much easier to migrate your VDI.
Plus, the combined cost of the Horizon licensing and Horizon Accelerator service can often be less than your Citrix renewal.
If you have always worked on Citrix, you may not be familiar with the full depth and breadth of the Horizon solution. Here are the top five reasons to consider migrating:
There are tens of thousands of Horizon customers, including many of the world’s largest banks, retailers, healthcare providers, and governments. Most recently Omnissa Horizon was named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic quadrant for Desktop-as-a-Service, as well as the 2024 IDC MarketScape for Virtual Client Computing and the 2024 IDC MarketScape for Desktop as a Service.
In looking back, it is apparent that Horizon subscription pricing and packaging has remained remarkably stable, apart from minor annual adjustments. As a result, Horizon pricing is competitive with Citrix Hybrid Multi-Cloud list prices.
Horizon is available in both Named or Concurrent User licensing and in 1- through 5-year terms. Our customers have flexibility to choose the Horizon suite and deployment type (on-premises/cloud/hybrid) that best fits their use cases. Customers are never forced into suites with technology they don’t need or multi-year commitments they don’t want.
Of course, Horizon supports published apps with RDSH. However, our secret sauce to minimizing the traditional infrastructure and admin time and cost associated with large RDSH deployments is App Volumes.
With App Volumes, the application is separated from the OS so admins can manage a single copy of an app and keep the RDSH host image (or the VDI image) clean. The app is managed and updated on the App Volumes server only, reducing admin time managing multiple images but also allowing fast response to app vulnerabilities and updates without all the work of updating host images.
With Apps on Demand, apps are attached to the VDI or RDSH session only when a user accesses an app, eliminating bloated VDI images and overbuilt RDSH farms/silos, helping reduce infrastructure costs and admin time.
Horizon is part of the Omnissa Platform, the first AI-driven digital work platform that enables smart, seamless, and secure work experiences from anywhere.
The Omnissa Platform offers a market-leading VDI/DaaS and published apps solution, as well as the ability to manage physical and virtual devices and the corresponding user experiences from a single integrated platform. The Omnissa Platform leverages a common set of platform services, notably ML and AI services. These services analyze a common data set to identify issues and automate responses to keep users productive, help ensure optimal security, and minimize IT time and cost.
For example, market-leading Omnissa Workspace ONE® UEM extends its management capabilities to Horizon persistent desktops, enabling routine Day 2 IT tasks without reimaging. These include managing golden images or individual desktops, OS and app patches, driver updates, configurations, and policies using a cloud-native and unified solution.
In addition, the Omnissa Workspace ONE Digital Employee Experience (DEX) solution for Horizon reduces user downtime and helpdesk costs by accurately pinpointing and remediating virtual desktop experience issues. These include monitoring long log-on times, slow app performance, and suboptimal configurations. You can learn more from our recent on-demand webinar, “Break Free from VDI and App Limitations.”
