Malware on unmanaged and BYO devices can pose a serious risk to corporate resources. Citrix Secure Private Access provides the security controls you need to protect sensitive data—without compromising the employee experience. Monitoring access to applications creates complications for users and IT alike. Citrix Secure Private Access lets you go beyond SSO to provide adaptive authentication, without compromising the user experience.
Matrix42 is best suited for the environment where we need to manage the both, mobile devices and endpoints like laptops and desktops. This solution have the best compatibility with every type of endpoints and the functionalities and features are incredible. The dashboard gives the overall visibility and details needed for a endpoint. We can see what applications are running as well as services which are running. It supports multi OS. It is not well suited for environment where only laptop and desktop needs to be managed as we can have other solution in less price. For just managing the workstations like laptops it may be not the best tool as the functionalities will be limited as compared to other vendors in this price.
It has the ability to manage endpoints like mobile devices as well as laptops and desktops. Hence through single tool we are able to control every type endpoint which is the best feature so far.
It supports every operating system like windows, mac OS , Linux, android, Chromebook OS hence it got the multivendor support.
Every endpoint can be managed through a single dashboard hence it gives the best user experience.
The dashboard is very user friendly and every function is clearly visible. We do not need to go into sub menu for detailing.
The dashboard is totally customizable and gives the ability to control the endpoint in the best way.
The deployment and implementation process took very long as we encountered some bugs in the OS and every time installation got failed due that. It took so long to understand that which delayed the process so we moved to n-2 version. Hence, in new OS bug should be removed for smooth configuration and installation.
The reporting part need to be improved as it is very basic and do not carry much information which is needed for auditing purpose. It should be made customizable and more type of reporting format should be introduced. So this the area of improvement.
Third Party integration is not possible. This feature is lacking. For proper visibility and control management it should have functionality of third party integration so that we can take control action for non complaint system.
The software's usability is what we expected. We knew what our organization needed and Citrix was able to meet our needs. The ability to have the apps on a mobile device has been a great plus and Citrix seems to have really developed a software based on the every day needs of the user.
Overall the support from the customer service team has been good. They are very timely and expert in resolving the tickets. They have appropriate knowledge to resolve issues in all stages to development. They were up to the point during the implementation stage of the XenMobile, all queries were answered in time to help finish the deployment. The support for last three years has been extraordinary in helping us use XenMobile effectively and efficiently.
Because of its flexible configuration, XenMobile was a much better fit for us. ZixOne was a reliable, functional MDM product but only functioned in a sandboxed environment. Despite being sandboxed, it was able to push contacts into the native app; however, it could not do the same with calendar data which was where our providers had the biggest heartburn. They could handle segregation of email but did not like having to review two separate calendar applications.
Matrix42 Unified endpoint management supports different type of endpoints as well as multi OS is also supported which make it different from other vendors. The product got some good features which is needed for organization and during the demo it met our requirement and it was in our budget if we compare to other vendors. The solution delivers what it promises and hence proven to very useful for organization. Microsoft and Citrix TAC was also not good and supportive as we faced issue some issue during POC
It provided more safer environment to access corporate emails on personal device. This reduced costs for VPN and access control measures.
Most features are compliant with organizational security features, this reduced costs in third party vendor softwares.
Web based admin control portal is very efficient, there is no need to install desktop client for admin control. This saved a lot of time during initial deployment.
The product helped to achieve good profit as is it helps in managing the endpoints from remote which lowers the on site engineer cost.
The ROI for this product is 75-80 percent as it is a agent based solution and deploying agent in a large environment is painful hence to achieve the full ROI will take lot of time.
The solution is proven to be best for our organization as it helped to maintain the compliance of our organization be verifying the necessary application needed for the organization to make it secure.
