"The most valuable feature is how secure the solution is."

"The only thing that is really important for me is being able to connect from wherever I am.

Being able to access internal resources from a secure platform allows me to work without fearing that my data has been stolen."
"We've been able to scale the environment quite nicely by using the Citrix Remote PC. I can't say enough about that.

"We can provide tons of applications with different settings, behaviors, and operating systems. It is the same way for the user. Then, we are totally transparent for the user to use a lot of totally different applications, which is the most important part of Citrix today."
