Citrix today announced that it has been positioned as a Leader in the
IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Enterprise Mobility Management Software 2014
Vendor Assessment (Doc #251379, September 2014). Citrix is recognized
for the completeness of its core enterprise mobility management (EMM)
offering, the XenMobile® solution, and the company’s strong strategic
direction.
The IDC MarketScape report evaluated 11 EMM vendors based on a
comprehensive framework that assessed current capabilities and future
strategies. Citrix is positioned as a leader by the IDC MarketScape for
possessing a combination of company and product capabilities that align
with customer needs today and a strong set of strategic initiatives that
align with what customers will require in the next three to five years.
XenMobile provides the most comprehensive EMM solution to manage and
secure mobile apps, data and devices along with the broadest set of
business-class productivity apps. Notably, XenMobile is recognized by
the IDC MarketScape for offering advanced network security as well as
feature-rich enterprise file sync and sharing capabilities through Citrix
ShareFile® whereas “competitors still have work to do in this
space,” according to the report.
XenMobile is also a cornerstone of the Citrix
Workspace Suite™, the industry’s most complete mobile workspace
solution, and according to Stacy Crook, Research Director, Mobile
Enterprise Research, IDC, “Citrix’s ability to bring products together
in a way where the collective utility of the suite is more powerful than
any one product on its own is appealing to the company's customer base.”
The IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Enterprise Mobility Management Software
2014 Vendor Assessment is available from IDC. The Citrix excerpt is
available on the Citrix
Website.

“We believe our position in the IDC MarketScape is a true testament to
our commitment to supporting customers today and in the future. More
than 80 percent of Citrix mobile platforms sales are from customers
opting for XenMobile Enterprise, our EMM offering, because they see the
strategic value XenMobile brings to meet their growing mobility
requirements.”
