Citrix Gateway Primary Use Case
SK
Siva Kuppala
Enterprise Architect at Wipro Limited
I am working with a vast portfolio that includes end-to-end complete DWWS technologies. I take care of digital locker, VDI technologies including VMware, Citrix Gateway, smart analytics, smart ops, and many other digital workplace services.
I have experience working with Citrix XenServer and Citrix Gateway. Citrix Gateway serves multiple enterprise scenarios. The first use case is secure remote access, also called ICA proxy, which provides users secure encrypted access to Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops over the internet. The second use case is zero trust network access, which enforces conditional access based on user device identity and posture. The third implementation is multi-factor authentication (MFA), which can integrate with SAML, Azure AD, Okta, or RSA for enforcing strong user authentication.
The fourth feature is endpoint analysis, where pre-authentication checks can be performed on endpoints before granting access, such as verifying antivirus versions and domain membership. Additional functionality includes single sign-on (SSO) integration with Citrix Virtual Apps, internal web applications, and SaaS-based applications such as Salesforce and O365. It also features load balancing, including GSLB and HA capabilities, enabling global server load balancing and high availability across multiple gateway nodes, sites, and applications. Furthermore, it offers secure SaaS access through integration with Citrix Secure Private Access or Gateway Services to securely deliver SaaS-based applications.

We use it for load balancing with NetScaler. It also has a VPN for secure connectivity.
View full review »It is for any type of company. If someone works with Citrix products, it makes sense to deploy Citrix Gateway because it can look inside the ICA protocol. No other products in the market are able to do that.

View full review »I use Citrix Gateway mostly for communication with my other networks because I'm connecting through public domains. If I am not connected to the network of my company, I won't be able to get access to any of my services or check the connectivity to the other locations.

Our biggest, most consistent problem was renewing certificates. Otherwise, it works like it isn't even there. It's just a workhorse.
