Citrix and Infrastructure Audits,
Know Before You Invest.

Health checks, security reviews and design assessments for Citrix, VDI and virtualization environments, with a clear, prioritized roadmap at the end. Many qualify for Citrix funding.

Book an AssessmentSee How It Works

What Is a Citrix Assessment?

A Citrix assessment is a structured review of your environment, from users and access to images, infrastructure and operations, that shows what's working, what's at risk and what to do next. You get an executive summary, a prioritized risk list, design recommendations and a roadmap your team can act on, whether you stay put, upgrade, move to the cloud or change platforms.

Altanora architects have assessed Citrix environments for airlines, telecom providers, hospitals, manufacturers and governments across North America. Eligible projects may qualify for Citrix Funded Pro Services, with Citrix covering some or all of the services, subject to Citrix approval.

Audits and Assessments FAQ

What is included in a Citrix health check?

A review of your users, access (NetScaler and Citrix Workspace), images and delivery groups, control components, hosting and operations, with a prioritized list of risks and fixes.

How long does a Citrix assessment take?

Most assessments take two to six weeks, depending on the size of the environment and the scope.

Can a Citrix assessment be funded by Citrix?

Often, yes. Eligible assessments may qualify for Citrix Funded Pro Services, subject to Citrix approval. Altanora checks eligibility and handles the request.

Do you compare Citrix with other VDI platforms?

Yes. We compare Citrix with Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, Amazon WorkSpaces, Omnissa Horizon and Parallels RAS, including costs.

Should we replace VMware vSphere with XenServer?

It depends on your workloads. Our assessment compares vSphere and XenServer costs and trade-offs. XenServer is included in Citrix UHMC, which can remove paid hypervisor licensing for Citrix workloads.

Do you assess NetScaler security and CVEs?

Yes. We check NetScaler versions and configuration against known CVEs and Citrix hardening guidance.
