Citrix vs GO-Global

The Citrix Alternative to Deliver a Simple, Web-Native Experience for Your Users

Citrix provides desktop virtualization for employees. GO-Global delivers Windows® application publishing that works fast and delights users.

We use Citrix to deliver and manage our employee's corporate desktops. But we couldn't afford to use Citrix to deliver our software to end users. Plus, employees are willing to wait for their desktop to load. But our end users don't want to wait. Employees are patient--our customers are not!"
