Citrix is in the Past, Omnissa is on the Horizon

Picture of R-Com Consulting

Citrix set the standard. But the new standard is already here — and if you’re still waiting, you’re not just falling behind. You’re handing opportunity to your competitors.

The Digital Workspace Is Moving On

Let’s start by giving Citrix it's due, Citrix helped build the era of remote work. It gave us access, virtualisation, and a glimpse of what was possible. But in today’s hybrid-first, threat-dense, multi-cloud enterprise, access isn’t the benchmark. Agility is. Simplicity is. Resilience is.

That’s where Horizon 8 (now part of Omnissa) changes the game — and where clinging to legacy tools becomes a serious strategic risk.

If You’re Still on Citrix, Ask Yourself:

  1. Is your remote access truly seamless — or stitched together with outdated infrastructure?
  2. Are you bleeding money on complexity while other orgs scale effortlessly?
  3. Is your current setup giving attackers a bigger surface to aim at?

 

We’re not saying Citrix failed. We’re saying the needs of your business have perhaps outgrown it.

Horizon 8: Built for the Modern Enterprise

Horizon 8 doesn’t just keep up — it leads. Developed by VMware and now part of the new Omnissa stack, it’s the platform of choice for modern IT teams who need control without compromise.

What You Get:

  1. Ironclad Security – VDI, DaaS, and apps that lock down endpoints without locking out users
  2. Total Cloud Control – Manage everything from a single pane of glass
  3. Operational Efficiency – Maximise ROI with fewer moving parts
  4. Speed and Flexibility – Instant scale-up, context-aware performance, and a frictionless user experience
  5. Strategic Simplicity – Horizon 8 plays nicely with your hybrid cloud

 

This isn’t about vendor preference. It’s about survival. And Horizon 8 is fast becoming the non-negotiable foundation for forward-looking organisations.
