Inuvika OVD Enterprise is a cost-effective <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Citrix XenApp alternative.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/h5>\n
With Citrix XenApp being a legacy product and massive price increases happening since most customers bought their Citrix XenApp licenses, IT departments need to find alternatives to Citrix XenApp that won’t massively increase budget requirements. <\/span><\/h5>\n
<\/span><\/h5>\n
Whether you are looking for easier management, a product that works with any hypervisor, or a way to reduce the number of subscriptions that you require through concurrent user subscriptions, Inuvika OVD Enterprise should be at the top of your list.<\/span><\/h5>\n
<\/span><\/h5>\n
It’s time to consider a Citrix XenApp replacement built for today’s hybrid work environments.<\/span><\/h5>\n

Inuvika OVD Enterprise<\/strong><\/span><\/th>\n\nCitrix<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
 <\/td>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n
Effortless Windows and Linux Application Publishing<\/strong> <\/span><\/th>\n <\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Deliver Windows and Linux applications and shared desktops to any device, including Windows, macOS, and Linux desktops; iOS and Android mobile devices; Chromebook; Raspberry Pi thin clients; and clientless HTML5 browser devices.<\/span><\/td>\n <\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Automated application discovery and fast publishing of apps through the Web management console. <\/span><\/td>\nRequires additional steps and manual configuration.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Publish and use Windows and Linux apps together at the same time within a single user interface.<\/span><\/td>\nLimited. Linux support requires significant setup and configuration. Using Windows and Linux apps side-by-side is not seamless and requires sessions within sessions.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n
Fast Installation and Set-up<\/strong> <\/span><\/th>\n <\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Installs in hours or less with no need for costly certified consultants.<\/span><\/td>\nLengthy and complex. Often requires certified professionals to install, configure, and operate.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n
Easy Management<\/strong> <\/span><\/th>\n <\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Manage servers, users, tenants, and applications from a single Web-based management console.<\/span><\/td>\nRequires multiple consoles to learn and coordinate.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n
Great User Experience<\/strong> <\/span><\/th>\n <\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Publish apps by user or group type and access them within a familiar desktop, intuitive Web portal, or via App Mode, the most natural way to integrate and work with virtual apps and files on your local desktop.<\/span><\/td>\nApps and files are presented individually within a tiled interface or shared desktop. Restricting apps by user or group within a desktop generally requires VDI, which increases cost and complexity.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n
Security<\/strong> <\/span><\/th>\n <\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Integrated two-factor authentication provides an extra layer of security for the user.<\/span><\/td>\nSupported via third-party solution providers, which adds costs.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Granular-level user policies can be easily configured in the OVD Admin console.<\/span><\/td>\nConfiguring user policies is more detailed and complex.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n
Multi-Tenancy Support<\/strong> <\/span><\/th>\n <\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Share one instance of OVD across multiple domains while maintaining individual tenant data privacy.<\/span><\/td>\nMulti-tenancy configuration is more complex and requires duplication of resources.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n
Secure Remote Access<\/strong> <\/span><\/th>\n <\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
OVD includes the Enterprise Secure Gateway which uses standard Web ports to provide secure remote access with no hidden costs.<\/span><\/td>\n Requires Netscaler at significant additional cost.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n
Exceptional HTML5 Web Browser Experience<\/strong> <\/span><\/th>\n <\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Access applications and shared desktops from HTML5 Web browsers. <\/span><\/td>\nSupported, but the native client is favoured as the access method.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Includes secure remote access services for off-site users.<\/span><\/td>\nRequires additional components.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n
Straightforward Licensing <\/strong> <\/span><\/th>\n <\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Sold as a 12, 36 or 60-month subscription plan based on concurrent users. Features are all-inclusive with no hidden fees.<\/span><\/td>\nAvailable in multiple editions with varying features, extra options, and price points.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n
Cost<\/strong> <\/span><\/th>\n <\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Deploys on Linux backend allowing you to reduce Microsoft licensing costs. Fewer Windows server licenses and no SQL server license.<\/span><\/td>\nOn-premises deployments require an all-Microsoft Windows backend. <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Our secure gateway is included.<\/span><\/td>\n Need to purchase Netscaler separately. <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Save more than 50% compared to Citrix.<\/span><\/td>\n Higher cost and complexity; licensing cost varies by edition.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
