We’ve just added a powerful new solution for mobile worker connectivity to the Citrix Ready Marketplace. Speedify gives on-the-go and at-home workers the ability to bond together Wi-Fi and cellular network connections for faster, more reliable performance. In our tests of Speedify with Citrix Workspace, users raved about their experiences using SaaS apps, virtual desktops, and UCaaS in places where Wi-Fi is congested or connectivity is sporadic.
I’m pleased to announce that Speedify is now a Citrix Ready validated solution with the latest versions of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops.
Before approving Speedify as Citrix Ready, we provided the solution to more than a dozen mobile workers here at Citrix to get their feedback. Here are some of the comments we got back:
- “I’ve had such a great experience at IPExpo in Manchester demoing Citrix Workspace when most of the team had major delays in page loads and logins on their smart devices. The difference it makes when working from home is unbelievable, especially when your wife or kids complain that Netflix or Prime won’t stream and yet your virtual meetings are not affected.”
- “Instantly seems to improve performance. Yesterday [before installing Speedify] I had some serious challenges, being in a web meeting and moving around the house. Now I’m doing the very same and it works like a charm! Also Citrix Workspace performance seems to be improved.”
- “The app is cleanly designed, installation is a breeze, and the value of the solution is easily understood.”
- “My line-of-business apps and personal apps are performing way better now on the District Line from Wimbledon to Paddington, even when the carriages are jam packed with folks. Previously it was always a hit-and-miss; now it’s a more consistent experience — they work. I don’t even notice that it’s on and working for me anymore except when I see the VPN logo when using [iOS] Control Center, which is a good thing.”
- “I use Speedify regularly while on the Santa Clara Valley Light Rail and working on my laptop. Wi-Fi on the train is spotty, so I plug in my iPhone and Speedify bonds the Wi-Fi and cellular connections to give me better performance. Before Speedify I couldn’t use my Citrix virtual desktop during my commute.”
